The Role
Own end-to-end deployment workstreams for Auger’s autonomous supply chain product: plan schedules, resolve operational decisions, write precise engineering-ready requirements, track workstream metrics, communicate status to cross-functional teams and customer executives, and work on-site frequently to drive adoption and outcomes.
Summary Generated by Built In
Build at Auger
Auger is the autonomous operating system for supply chains — the layer that finally allows disparate systems like ERP, WMS, and TMS to work together instead of against each other.
Most supply chain software surfaces problems and waits for a human to act. Auger solves them. Our AI detects disruptions, evaluates trade-offs, and executes decisions automatically — moving from signal to action in seconds, not weeks. We eliminate the Coordination Tax: the billions in capital and time lost when disconnected systems force the best people in the business to become the Human API between planning and execution.
At Auger, we design autonomy into our systems. We expect the same from our people.
That means:
- Clear ownership, not decision by consensus
- First principles over inherited patterns
- Shipping systems, not slide decks
- Fast feedback from reality, not opinions
If you want to build, ship, and iterate against reality, Auger is for you.
Auger was founded by Dave Clark and is backed by $150M from Oak HC/FT and Eclipse Capital. Our team works from Bellevue, WA and Dallas, TX.
About the Role
Customer Transformation is the team responsible for delivering value from Auger’s autonomous supply chain operating system, and this is the role where you learn to do that from the ground up. You join a deployment pod, take a workstream, and own it end to end: the plan, the meetings, the follow-through, and the number it has to move.
The work is hard, the pace is fast, and the travel is heavy. You are on site with customers, in their operations, not observing from a desk. You will run a schedule that cross-functional teams depend on, chase down the answer nobody wants to give you, and write the requirement precisely enough that an engineer can build from it without asking you a second question. You will do this on live enterprise accounts where the customer has already paid for an outcome.
These roles are where Auger's future leaders come from. You learn this business at the edge, inside our customers' operations, which is the only place it can actually be learned. If you are good, you will run your own account inside two years and lead multi-workstream enterprise accounts after that. Several of the people who will run this company learned it exactly this way. The ceiling here is set by what you can carry, not by a calendar.
What You'll Own
1. The Plan and the Pace
You own the schedule for your workstream and you defend it. Milestones, dependencies, who owes what by when, and what happens when someone misses. Nobody chases you for status, because the plan is already published and current. Enterprise deployments slip in one-week increments that nobody notices until the quarter is gone. You notice on day two, and you fix it before anyone asks
2. The Details Nobody Else Will Chase
Every deployment carries a hundred small unresolved questions: which SKU hierarchy governs, whose forecast is authoritative, who signs off on the data feed, what happens when the planner overrides the recommendation. Left alone, they surface at launch as failures. Your job is to hunt them down before they bite. Track every open question, drive each to a decision with a named owner, and close it. Unresolved for more than a week means you escalate, not wait. You do not forward problems to your account lead. You bring the problem, the two options, and your recommendation.
3. Requirements Precise Enough to Build From
You sit between a customer who describes their business in stories and engineers who need specifics. Your job is the translation, and vague translation is the most expensive failure in a deployment. You turn what the customer said into requirements the Supply Chain Scientist, Customer Engineering Lead, and Customer Product Lead can build from without a follow-up meeting. Named fields, named systems, named owners, stated edge cases.
4. The Numbers on Your Workstream
Your account lead owns the account value model. You own the inputs that feed it from your workstream, and you know their current values without looking them up. You track the input measures on your workstream (forecast accuracy, service level, exception volume, adoption rate, whatever the model calls for), keep them current and visible, and flag movement in either direction the week it happens.
5. Communication That Ends Confusion
You write the update that cross functionals teams and a customer executive read. It says what shipped, what changed, what is at risk, and what happens next. No hedging, no status theater, no burying the bad news in paragraph four. You own the written record for your workstream: decisions, owners, dates, risks. When someone asks what is going on, the answer already exists in writing.
What We're Looking For
- Two to five years in an environment that demanded more than it gave: a service academy or military assignment, a top-tier consulting or banking analyst program, a startup where you were handed something you were not ready for, or an operating role where you carried a real number.
- Evidence of grit under load. You have run a project that was behind, unclear, and yours anyway, and you brought it in.
- Raw analytical horsepower. You can take an unfamiliar operational problem, break it down, quantify it, and defend your logic to someone smarter than you in the room.
- Speed. You learn a new domain in weeks, not quarters, and you would rather ship a good answer Thursday than a perfect one next month.
- Written precision. Your updates are short, specific, and complete. Nobody has to ask you a clarifying question.
- Hunger. You want the next level and you are willing to earn it in the detail, on real accounts, in front of real customers.
- Comfort with directness. Feedback here is immediate and specific in both directions. If that reads as harsh rather than useful, this will be the wrong team.
- Supply chain experience helps but is not required. We will teach you the domain. We cannot teach you drive.
What This Role Is (And Is Not)
This is not a rotational program, an analyst pool, or a support function. You are not here to take notes, build decks, or schedule meetings for someone senior. From your first account you own real scope in front of a real customer, and the deployment moves or stalls partly because of you.
It is also not a coasting job. The learning curve is steep on purpose, the standard is high on purpose, and the people who thrive here want both.
You cannot get this experience in a classroom, a rotational program, or a staff job, and you cannot get it anywhere else in this market. You will sit in rooms most people reach a decade later: a VP of Supply Chain defending their forecast, a CIO deciding what data we get, an executive sponsor asking why the number moved. You will be expected to have a point of view in those rooms, not just notes.
Compensation & BenefitsAs part of our commitment to People Powered Greatness, we invest in our team members with competitive compensation and a comprehensive benefits to support your health, financial future, and daily life. The package includes medical, dental, and vision coverage, a 401(k) with company match, and commuter benefits. Total compensation may include a combination of a competitive base salary and equity.

What We Do
About Auger Auger is a pioneering venture to build the world's first true end-to-end supply chain operating system. Founded and led by Dave Clark, former CEO of the Amazon Consumer Business and backed by an initial $100M from Oak HC/FT, Auger is building a future where global supply chains operate with the simplicity of today’s most intuitive consumer technologies. Revolutionizing global supply chains with an AI-powered OS unifying data for seamless, real-time insights, and powerful automation. Our Solution Auger is creating a new solution for companies seeking better options. Auger’s core strength lies in its deep AI-powered automation, paired with a consumer-grade user experience. This combination allows operators to handle complex tasks through simple, familiar tools. Need real-time inventory insights for next week’s shipment? Just ask. Actionable data appears instantly, enabling swift decisions—no complex queries or training required. Why We’re Different Traditional supply chain management is fragmented, relying on incompatible systems and inefficient workarounds. Many companies are stuck with “Franken-software”—patched-together solutions that fail to communicate effectively. Auger is different. We integrate deeply with existing systems, use AI to automate routine processes, and deliver a cohesive user experience that feels intuitive and natural, letting your team focus on what matters: driving growth, innovation, and sustainability. A Human-Centered Approach Broken supply chains don’t just impact businesses—they affect people. Delays mean products don’t reach shelves, miscommunications lead to overtime and burnout, and inefficiencies drive up costs and contribute to a growing carbon footprint. We believe supply chain problems are human problems, and we’re here to solve them. At Auger, we’re on a mission to make global supply chains more efficient, more sustainable, and ultimately, better for everyone.
