About the Role
TheSoul Group is seeking a Client Deployment Lead for its AI platform Valis, to embed on-site with mid-market CEOs and drive AI-native transformation. The role involves owning the client-CEO relationship, leading rollout to finance-verified outcomes, and translating client problems into specs for remote engineers.
Key Skills for This Role
Responsibilities
- Own the client CEO relationship and the executive steering committee — as a peer, with real decision rights
- Run the transformation cadence: weekly reviews, monthly finance verified value reviews, and quarterly business reviews
- Drive a fast, fixed scope first win on the client's real data, then lead the full rollout
- Translate client problems into crisp, build ready specs for remote engineers; own adoption and sign off
- Be personally accountable for a finance verified outcome the client can see in their P&L
- Build a portfolio of 2 3 marquee CEO accounts as each engagement matures
- Own end to end rollout management — from kick off through adoption, sign off, and handover
- Codify the method after each deployment so the next one requires less ramp up
Requirements
- Track record of owning real outcomes — moved a P&L or shipped a transformation, not just advised
- CEO room presence: ability to sit across from a mid market CEO as a peer and earn organizational trust quickly
- Technically literate enough to prototype, spec work, and direct engineers
- Thrives in ambiguity — operating effectively with incomplete information, shifting requirements, and no fixed playbook
- Willing and energized to be on site with clients (~30 60% travel)
- Likely background: top tier strategy firm (Engagement Manager Associate Partner) or proven in house transformation operator
- Hands on experience with AI / data tooling is a strong plus

About TheSoul Group and Valis
- TheSoul Group is a global media company with over a decade of experience building and operating digital businesses at scale.
- Valis is TheSoul Group's brand new business and AI platform for enterprise transformation — an institutional AI operating layer for mid market organisations (roughly 200–2,000 employees).
- Valis is already proven in production — built from real transformation work, encoding operational experience rather than theory.
Responsibilities
- Own the client CEO relationship and the executive steering committee — as a peer, with real decision rights.
- Run the transformation cadence: weekly reviews, monthly finance verified value reviews, and quarterly business reviews.
- Drive a fast, fixed scope first win on the client's real data, then lead the full rollout (leadership first, then the wider team).
- Translate client problems into crisp, build ready specs for remote engineers; own adoption and sign off.
- Be personally accountable for a finance verified outcome the client can see in their P&L.
- Build a portfolio of 2–3 marquee CEO accounts as each engagement matures.
- Own end to end rollout management — from kick off through adoption, sign off, and handover — ensuring every phase lands on time and to a measurable outcome.
- Codify the method after each deployment so the next one requires less ramp up.
Requirements
- A track record of owning real outcomes — you have moved a P&L or shipped a transformation, not just advised on one.
- CEO room presence: ability to sit across from a mid market CEO as a peer and earn organisational trust quickly.
- Technically literate enough to prototype, spec work, and direct engineers — you shape the solution, you don't wait for one.
- You thrive in ambiguity — operating effectively with incomplete information, shifting requirements, and no fixed playbook.
- Willing and energised to be on site with clients (~30–60% travel).
- Likely background: top tier strategy firm (Engagement Manager Associate Partner) or a proven in house transformation operator.
- Hands on experience with AI / data tooling is a strong plus.
Benefits
- Compensation: A competitive base calibrated to your market and seniority, plus a performance bonus tied to delivered outcomes.
- Equity: Meaningful, founder tier ownership — this is the real upside, and it's sized to match.
- Authority: Real decision rights and an interim executive mandate inside the client where granted. You own the result.
- Trajectory: A portfolio of marquee CEO relationships and a clear path to Regional GM for MENA.
- Location: On site with the client during deployment (~30–60% travel across the MENA region); your home base is flexible.
