ABOUT THE ROLE

You’ll own the technical strategy, orchestrate execution across teams, and ensure every customer sees value from Regal within their first two weeks.

You’re equal parts technical architect, product thinker, and player-coach. You can write code, lead customer workshops, and coach junior FDEs through complex integrations.

  • Partner with internal AI and Product teams to configure and QA the customer’s voice agent experience
  • Coach and guide a small team of Forward Deployed Engineers, reviewing work, unblocking challenges, and helping prioritize customer and internal initiatives
  • Act as the escalation point for complex technical issues and executive-level customer conversations
  • Partner closely with Product, AI, and Customer Success teams to feed insights from customer deployments into product roadmaps and voice model improvements
  • Help define and continuously refine Regal’s playbook for implementation excellence
  • Analyze post-launch performance metrics to inform A/B testing and iterative improvements to agent performance
  • Identify deployment patterns to propose new features or automation opportunities that improve efficiency
  • Expect to travel ~1 week per month for key customer launches, executive reviews, or cross-functional workshops

  • Experience designing or managing enterprise integrations
  • Proven ability to lead projects and people, balancing customer urgency with long-term scalability
  • Strong project management instincts with a knack for simplifying complexity and driving accountability
  • “No task too small” mindset, you’re hands-on when needed, but equally comfortable delegating and setting direction
