WovenLight is creating a new category of investment firm.

To execute our mission we are building an integrated team of world class data, investment, technology and operations professionals.
Role Overview
WovenLight Deployment Managers are commercially focused project leaders who have expertise and passion for AI and ML driven value creation. They join WovenLight teams to support key business/commercial workstreams as we deliver two types of projects. i) Diagnostic projects that evaluate the value creation potential at target companies / portfolio companies. ii) Deployment projects that execute on the identified value creation opportunities using our deep AI/ML capabilities
The role is fast-moving, varied and context dependent but on all projects, it is likely that our Deployment Managers are involved with:
* Scoping and leading successful projects – both pre-acquisition diagnostics and post acquisition execution projects
* Stakeholder management and communications – often across multiple levels within a portfolio company; and one or more sponsors/owners
* Driving change management activities at portfolio companies – overcoming typical ‘last mile’ challenges of user education/adoption
* Supporting portfolio companies with wider analytics and AI topics (e.g. organisation/operational model decisions)
Examples of projects you could work on include:
* Helping a company/sponsor position for sale by creating a roadmap of future AI/data value creation opportunities (Sell side diagnostic)
* Leading rapid ‘outside in’ evaluation of value creation potential at a target company (Buyside diagnostic)
* Optimisation modelling to improve manufacturing throughput (Deployment)
* Predictive modelling to anticipate/avoid asset downtime (Deployment)
* Predicting and reducing customer churn (Deployment)
* Identifying next best action for sales agents (Deployment)
* Geospatial modelling to improve store footprint (Deployment)
Capabilties And Experiences
Business Leadership and Stakeholder Management
Experience of analytics focused engagements, in particular those involving ML/AI driven value creation
Strong stakeholder management skills including experience educating non technical audiences on the value of data/analytics initiatives and winning hearts and minds across organizations
Change management skills with a demonstrated ability to drive organizational adoption
Business acumen with strong commercial understanding, perhaps gained from experience as Junior Engagement Manager within a consulting firm, Product Manager at a technology company, or similar business-focused role
Technical (ML, AI, Software Development) Understanding
Solid understanding of analytics concepts sufficient to communicate effectively with technical teams and translate business requirements, but not requiring deep technical expertise (you can rely on Applied Engineering colleagues for technical depth)
Experience working with technical teams including Data Scientists, Engineers, and ML specialists, with ability to guide technical direction from a business perspective
Solution architecture awareness to understand how technical solutions fit into broader business systems and processes
Focus on the WHAT not the HOW - you ensure business impact and commercial outcomes while technical colleagues handle implementation details

Strong business understanding enabling you to identify and articulate value creation opportunities
Financial literacy including familiarity with investing and corporate finance principles, allowing you to work effectively with investment colleagues and quantify the financial impact of initiatives
Interpersonal and communication excellence supporting your ability to build and maintain relationships with senior stakeholders across organizations (portfolio companies, investors, partners)
