Forward Deployed Consultant, Manufacturing

About the Team

The Professional Services organization at Miro is focused on ensuring our Enterprise customers achieve exceptional outcomes through the Innovation Workspace. Our team of strategic advisors, implementation experts, and forward deployed consultants work side-by-side with customers to transform how they collaborate, build, and innovate—powered by agentic AI and Miro's world-class platform.

About the Role

As a Forward Deployed Consultant, Manufacturing, you will apply AI solutions to transform and automate the core operating processes of leading industrial enterprises. You will engage directly with C-level executives, help them identify high-impact opportunities, build and test enterprise-grade AI solutions on their own data and systems, and drive measurable business outcomes.

This role sits at the intersection of strategy, operations, and technology. You will be paired with an Account Executive against named accounts—hunting for problems worth solving, then proving they can be solved. Generalist FDCs lead client discussions across industries; as the Manufacturing Specialist, you are the dedicated depth they bring in when a pursuit turns on industrial expertise.

What you’ll need

• 8+ years in top-tier consulting, forward deployed engineering, solution consulting, or enterprise transformation, weighted toward manufacturing and industrial environments

• Deep understanding of manufacturing operating processes: NPI and stage-gate/APQP, engineering change management, quality systems (FMEA, 8D, PPAP), S&OP and production planning, lean and continuous improvement, maintenance and reliability

• Fluency with the industrial enterprise stack—ERP (SAP or equivalent), PLM (Teamcenter, Windchill, 3DEXPERIENCE), MES, quality management systems—and where the data lives

• Credibility with COO, Chief Supply Chain Officer, VP Operations, VP Quality, and Plant General Manager stakeholders

• Exceptional GenAI skills: Miro, Cursor, Claude Code and Cowork, ChatGPT, Google and Microsoft suites, MCP integrations, prompt and context engineering. You can build working solutions yourself and orchestrate an AI Engineer when the build demands it

• Ability to build a before/after value story with financial and ROI analysis that survives finance scrutiny

• A business-problem-first rather than product-first mindset, and the curiosity to take any process apart

• Comfort in both the boardroom and the plant

• Self-starter who operates independently and under ambiguity

• Willing to travel to customer sites up to 40%
