About Intelligems

Intelligems builds the AI agents that turn your traffic into profit. Every day, brands makes thousands of decisions - what to show, what to offer, how to price for each visitor - and most of them happen by default. We build the data and the agents that make those decisions for you, automatically, so your site gets smarter with every visitor instead of sitting static. Our mission is to make every one of those decisions intelligent: grounded in what actually works, not guesswork.

We have excellent traction: we're working with over 3,000 brands and have access to more than $10B of transaction and shopping session data. We are looking for highly talented individuals to join us and help us continue to scale efficiently. We have an extremely high-performing team, with a collaborative culture of low-ego + high-IQ people. Our people are our strongest asset, and we hold a very high bar.

Were backed by Stage 2 Ventures, Vinyl Capital, Matchstick Ventures, Techstars, and the founders of companies like Klaviyo and Postscript, and have raised >$11M to date.

About the job

The Role

Were hiring a Forward Deployed Optimization Manager to join Agentic Optimization (AO), Intelligems new AI-native optimization team.

Youll deploy AI agents and Intelligems-powered fixtures on real Shopify brands storefronts, across the full funnel: content, pricing, upsells, offers, checkout, and post-purchase. Agents do the heavy lifting on research, analysis, and test setup, so you can run more experiments, faster, than any traditional CRO program. You own the outcome: revenue and profit lift for every brand you work with.

Forward deployed means youre in the field. Youre the customers main point of contact and the person in the room when results get reviewed. Youre also our sharpest signal on what the agents get right, where they break, and what we should build next.

This is an early, build-mode team. The playbook isnt written yet, and youll help write it.

What Youll Do

• Deploy agents on live storefronts: use Intelligems agentic tooling, Claude Code, and Intelligems MCPs to research, configure, and launch tests across your accounts. Build workflows that make each deployment faster than the last.
• Run the experimentation program: build testing roadmaps prioritized by expected impact, launch tests across pricing, offers, upsells, checkout, and content, call results, and turn outcomes into next steps.
• Shape the product: youre the field signal for an agentic product. Log what works and what breaks, flag gaps, and work with Product on what we build next.
• Own the customer relationship: be the primary point of contact for your brands across calls and Slack. Translate results into clear recommendations for founders and e-commerce leaders, and hold the program accountable to revenue.
• Help write the playbook: create the briefs, roadmaps, and performance summaries customers see, and turn what you learn into delivery best practices for the team.

Qualifications

Were open to two backgrounds:

• CRO and experimentation: 5-7+ years running experimentation programs for e-commerce brands, whether agency-side, in-house, or as a consultant. You have strong opinions on test prioritization, statistical rigor, and what actually moves metrics like conversion, RPV, and PPV.
• AI-forward and client-facing: 5-7+ years in consulting, forward-deployed engineering (FDE), AI implementation, customer success, or a similar client-facing role. No CRO background required. You learn quickly, you already live in AI tools, and you figure things out before anyone shows you how. Well teach you experimentation on the job.

Must have:

• Demonstrated, hands-on experience using AI tools and agents (Claude Cowork, Claude Code, MCPs, or similar) as part of your day-to-day work. That includes building repeatable workflows, automating multi-step tasks, connecting agents to tools and data sources, and knowing when to trust an output versus verify it
• Strong client-facing and relationship management skills: you can run a call, manage expectations, and keep an account healthy
• Self-starter who works well in ambiguity, unblocks yourself, and is driven by intrinsic motivation
• Track record of hitting targets and goals, with specifics you can point to
• Clear written and verbal communication, especially turning data into a recommendation someone can act on
• Executive presence and gravitas with customers: you show up as a trusted advisor to founders and senior e-commerce leaders, hold your ground on recommendations backed by data, and can steer a conversation when results or priorities get tough

Nice to have:

• Intelligems experience (preferred), either as a user, agency partner, or internal team member
• Shopify or e-commerce experience
• Comfort with data analysis (spreadsheets, SQL, or analytics tools)
• Agency or consulting background

Measures of Success

• Customer outcomes: accounts hitting their committed performance targets, including the 90-day guarantee where it applies
• Test velocity: tests launched per account per month at or above the target cadence
• Experiment and fixture variety: using the full Intelligems toolkit (pricing, shipping, offers, content, personalization) across accounts, not only one test type
• Retention: customers renewing and expanding past their initial term
• Customer satisfaction: strong relationship health across assigned accounts
• Product feedback: consistent, actionable findings logged into the AO feedback loop
