About the role


Job Title: Founding Deployment Strategist

Location: Paris, Onsite (we help you relocate) 

About Plume: At Plume, we're at the intersection of two game-changing forces: AI and the energy transition. We're building an AI-powered platform that transforms how infrastructure gets built, starting with renewable energy projects. The world depends on infrastructure assets and renewable energy to function, selecting sites, connecting to networks and getting permits is still too hard. We solve those challenges by combining geospatial data, unstructured data and AI workflows.

We are backed by Y Combinator and trusted by some of the most ambitious renewable developers in Europe and the US. This is where software meets the energy transition.


Role Overview

As a Founding Deployment Strategist, you’ll be part of Plume’s core team. Shaping both the company and the platform. You’ll sit at the intersection of product, engineering, and the real world. You’ll embed with customers, dissect their workflows, spot hidden inefficiencies, and turn insights into product improvements, data integrations, and features that move the needle. Your mission: make Plume absolutely indispensable.

You’ll own a portfolio of customers end-to-end: driving adoption, shaping usage patterns, training new users, shipping product changes, and identifying expansion opportunities. You’ll be the feedback loop that accelerates the roadmap and scales our impact.


What You’ll Do

  • Observe and analyze customer workflows to identify where Plume can deliver value
  • Translate insights into product requirements, UX improvements, and data requests
  • Build and ship product changes (front-end/back-end/data pipelines) when required
  • Drive engagement and train new users across multiple teams
  • Work cross-functionally with engineering, product, data, and sales
  • Own renewals, satisfaction, and expansion across geos or asset class
  • Build repeatable deployment playbooks to scale customer onboarding

You Might Be a Fit If You

  • Have exceptional listening and communication skills
  • Have product intuition, think in systems and can prioritize ruthlessly
  • Can write/debug code (Python, SQL, basic APIs)
  • Like wearing many hats: customer success, product, software engineer, commercial
  • Can push back with humility and drive clarity from ambiguity
  • Have a builder mindset, small ego, and bias for action

Nice-to-haves:

  • Familiarity with geospatial tools (GIS, geodata)
  • Exposure to renewable energy development

Why Join

  • Work on the most consequential problems of the century, building the software layer accelerating the clean energy transition
  • Directly influence product direction based on real user signal
  • Operate with massive trust, ownership, and growth potential
  • Very competitive salary & very competitive equity
