The thesis, in motion
A model built on discipline you can measure
Elite by design
An engineer-to-overhead ratio held as a defended operating discipline from day one.
Weeks, not quarters
Compressed time-to-adopted-value: MVP go-live in weeks while others are still scoping a pilot.
Compounding moat
Each engagement feeds the Knowledge Management stack — capability grows instead of resetting.

Why join
A rare seat at the founding table
Ground-floor leadership
Every founding hire builds the operating model, rather than inheriting one that already exists.
Backed, not bootstrapped
Tenth Revolution Group provides the network, brand, and shared Talent Acquisition and HR services — so you focus on the practice, not the back office.
A real technical moat
The agentic Knowledge Management stack is the product, not a slogan. Every role builds it, sells its outcome, or protects the economics behind it.
Elite by design
The engineer-to-overhead ratio is a defended operating discipline, held by the founding team from day one.
Open roles
Talent Acquisition is delivered as a service through Tenth Revolution Group: typically an initial conversation, a working session with the hiring lead, and a final conversation with the Practice President, followed by references and an offer. Founding-team roles are evaluated on a rolling basis.

Practice President
AgenticForward is hiring its founding Practice President to own the business plan and P&L end to end — turning a clear thesis (compressed time-to-adopted-value through an agentic Knowledge Management stack, an elite engineer-to-overhead ratio, and a run-and-operate model with a designed exit) into a functioning, growing practice. You will lead integration of a founder-led acquisition, build the founding leadership team, and stand as the single point of accountability for the numbers, the model discipline, and the exit.
What you will do
- Own the P&L and the unit economics that make the model defensible.
- Lead integration of the founding acquisition, treating founder and FDE-bench retention as a first-order risk.
- Set and defend the engineer-to-overhead ratio as the organization's core operating discipline.
- Recruit, hire, and lead the founding leadership team across Knowledge Engineering, Product, Growth, and the fast-follow Alliances function.
- Own the run-and-operate and exit narrative directly with clients; partner with TRG on shared Talent Acquisition and HR services.
In your first 6–12 months
- Close and integrate the acquisition, retaining the founders and FDE bench through the transition.
- Land the first lighthouse engagement(s) and reach MVP go-live on a compressed timeline.
- Stand up the founding team and the operating cadences that keep the engineer-to-overhead ratio visible and defended.
- Establish the Anthropic alliance as a live, pipeline-producing channel.
What you will bring — required
- Has run a P&L, practice, or business unit in professional services, systems integration, or consulting.
- Credible with both a CxO buyer and a senior engineer in the same day.
- Has integrated an acquisition or built a new venture or practice from zero.
Preferred
- Exposure to agentic / AI delivery, or to data and risk domains.
- Familiarity with embedded, Palantir-style forward-deployed delivery models.
- Experience operating inside or alongside a larger group (TRG-style shared services).
Why this role matters
The whole model rests on discipline that erodes by default — the ratio slips, overhead creeps, claims inflate, the exit goes undesigned. You exist to hold all of it, as the single point of accountability for the business plan.
What we offer
- Ground-floor leadership of a new practice, backed by Tenth Revolution Group's network, brand, and shared services.
- Competitive base compensation and equity in an early-stage venture, commensurate with experience.
- Remote-first flexibility, with travel to client and TRG sites as engagements require.
- The mandate and authority to build the operating model, not inherit one.

Head of Knowledge Engineering
Own the agentic Knowledge Management ecosystem as a living, versioned operating substrate — the nervous system that puts the full firm's capability in front of every engineer at the moment of work. You will own that Connectivity and Conventions exist, are governed, and stay alive across every engagement, so the firm compounds in value with each project instead of resetting to a blank page.
What you will do
- Own the KM ecosystem architecture and standards end to end, across Connectivity, Skills, and Conventions.
- Establish governance: versioning, review cadence, named asset ownership, and deprecation discipline.
- Partner with the Chief Product Officer so every connector and accelerator is built to consistent standards.
- Capture founder and acquired-team tribal knowledge into the system before dependency compounds.
- Feed the enablement curriculum from live KM assets, in partnership with Dr. Ben-Akiva.
In your first 6–12 months
- Stand up the KM ecosystem architecture with clear ownership and a working governance model.
- Establish Conventions as a first-class, versioned deliverable authored at engagement kickoff.
- Put review cadences and named owners on every KM asset.
- Capture founder and acquired-team knowledge into the system.
What you will bring — required
- Has built and governed a knowledge, platform, or delivery-IP function.
- Comfortable with the agentic tooling substrate (MCP, agent frameworks, memory / rules files) at an architectural level.
- Rigorous about governance and versioning in environments where correctness materially matters.
Preferred
- Regulated-domain exposure — risk, compliance, or financial services.
- Background in delivery methodology or engineering enablement.
- Has stood up a function that served many teams at once without becoming a bottleneck.
Why this role matters
Without this role the KM stack stays a slide. With it, delivery starts from accumulated assets, and quality stops depending on which senior person happens to be in the room.
What we offer
- The mandate to design the nervous system of the firm from scratch, backed by Tenth Revolution Group's network and shared services.
- Competitive base compensation and equity in an early-stage venture, commensurate with experience.
- Remote-first flexibility, with travel to client and TRG sites as engagements require.
- A technical thesis you get to help prove: an elite engineer-to-overhead ratio, powered by a compounding KM stack.
Send your background, with a short note on a knowledge, platform, or delivery-IP function you have built, to careers@agenticforward.ai, referencing "Head of Knowledge Engineering."

Chief Product Officer
Build the tangible product of the KM stack — the connectors, accelerators, reusable skills, and use-case solutions that turn portable capability into shipped, client-solving assets. This is a hands-on builder's seat: you will be in the connectors, the model-risk validation harness, the AML tuning pattern, the reusable ingestion patterns — making them work against real client problems, built against the standards the Head of Knowledge Engineering sets.
What you will do
- Own the Skills layer end to end: skills library, prompts, accelerators, and catalog.
- Build connectors and accelerators hands-on; solve tangible client problems in code, not slideware.
- Convert engagement lessons into owned, reusable IP captured as a byproduct of delivery.
- Keep the product portfolio cross-industry while leveraging inherited risk-domain depth as a strength.
- Partner with Knowledge Engineering on standards; feed the curriculum with real, working accelerators.
In your first 6–12 months
- Ship the first set of reusable accelerators drawn from live engagement lessons.
- Build the connector set against the Connectivity standards.
- Package the first domain accelerators (model-risk validation, AML tuning, regulatory ingestion) as reusable assets.
- Establish the skills catalog with named owners and a shippable-quality bar.
What you will bring — required
- Hands-on technical product builder — still writes and reviews code, builds integrations, and ships.
- Deep with the agentic delivery stack: agents, MCP, connectors, and prompt / accelerator engineering.
- Track record turning messy engagement knowledge into reusable, productized assets.
Preferred
- Data engineering / Lakehouse background.
- Risk, AML, or model-risk domain exposure.
- Has built a product function that stayed close to real delivery rather than drifting into abstraction.
Why this role matters
This is where the compounding moat becomes executable IP. You are the reason delivery starts from accumulated assets rather than a blank page, and the person who makes the KM stack real rather than conceptual.
What we offer
- A hands-on product leadership seat, backed by Tenth Revolution Group's network and shared services.
- Competitive base compensation and equity in an early-stage venture, commensurate with experience.
- Remote-first flexibility, with travel to client and TRG sites as engagements require.
- The chance to build shipped, working IP that other Forward Deployed Engineers use on day one of every engagement.

SVP of Growth
Build and run the go-to-market engine — leveraging the Mason Frank and TRG network and brand, standing up pre-sales, and coordinating the sales motion. You will convert the positioning — weeks to adopted outcomes, not quarters to a pilot — into qualified pipeline and won lighthouse engagements, across a cross-industry addressable market rather than financial services alone.
What you will do
- Own GTM strategy and execution across a cross-industry addressable market.
- Leverage the TRG / Mason Frank network and brand as a demand-generation engine.
- Build and run pre-sales; own the productized entry point and proposal quality.
- Coordinate the sales effort and own pipeline governance.
- Own positioning discipline across all market-facing materials; interface with the alliance function so channel and direct motions stay coherent.
In your first 6–12 months
- Stand up pre-sales and the productized entry point (the Agentic Readiness Briefing) as a repeatable motion.
- Build qualified pipeline leveraging the TRG / Mason Frank network across multiple industries.
- Land the first lighthouse engagement(s) alongside the Practice President and delivery leadership.
- Establish GTM narrative discipline — mechanism-based confidence, no false precision.
What you will bring — required
- Has built GTM and pre-sales in professional services, consulting, or systems integration.
- Strong on solution selling and value- / outcome-based positioning.
- Can turn a talent or recruitment network (TRG / Mason Frank) into a demand engine.
Preferred
- Data, AI, or agentic-delivery selling experience.
- Alliance / channel co-sell experience.
- Comfortable selling a compressed-timeline, outcome-based proposition rather than time-and-materials.
Why this role matters
Growth turns the compressed-time-to-value promise into commercial reality, and keeps the market story mechanism-based rather than hype — itself a credibility asset.
What we offer
- Ground-floor ownership of go-to-market, backed by Tenth Revolution Group and Mason Frank's network and brand.
- Competitive base compensation, commission, and equity in an early-stage venture, commensurate with experience.
- Remote-first flexibility, with travel to client and TRG sites as engagements require.
- A genuinely differentiated story to sell — outcome-based delivery, not time-and-materials.

Head of Ecosystem Alliances
Own the Anthropic alliance as a real go-to-market channel — driving incremental sell-with, generating qualified leads and clients into AgenticForward, and keeping the relationship engaged and productive over time. This is a fast-follow role, landed once the first engagements are underway and the Anthropic channel is ready to be worked. It is a channel role that produces pipeline, not a badge-management function.
What you will do
- Own the Anthropic relationship end to end as a GTM channel.
- Drive sell-with / co-sell and incremental pipeline from the alliance.
- Build and maintain the joint value proposition and partner enablement.
- Multi-thread and sustain the relationship across field, partner, and technical contacts, so it survives individual contact changes.
- Coordinate tightly with the SVP of Growth; feed ecosystem signal into Product and Knowledge Engineering priorities.
In your first 6–12 months
- Operationalize the Anthropic alliance as a live channel producing qualified pipeline.
- Build the joint value proposition and co-sell motion with the SVP of Growth's GTM engine.
- Keep the relationship warm and multi-threaded, never dependent on a single contact.
- Represent AgenticForward's agentic-delivery credibility credibly within the ecosystem.
What you will bring — required
- Has built and run a technology alliance or partner channel that produced real, attributable pipeline.
- Co-sell / sell-with track record with a platform or hyperscaler-type partner.
- Relationship-builder who operates comfortably from field to executive level.
Preferred
- Existing Anthropic or AI-ecosystem relationships.
- Background selling agentic or AI delivery services.
- Has turned a technology association into a measurable demand channel before.
Why this role matters
This role turns Anthropic from a technology and credibility association into an actual demand channel — a differentiated, compounding source of pipeline a staff-augmentation competitor cannot replicate.
What we offer
- Ownership of a strategic, high-visibility channel, backed by Tenth Revolution Group's network and shared services.
- Competitive base compensation, commission, and equity in an early-stage venture, commensurate with experience.
- Remote-first flexibility, with travel to partner and client sites as engagements require.
- A seat at the table as the Anthropic relationship is built from the ground up rather than inherited.
Send your background, with a short note on an alliance or channel program you have run, to careers@agenticforward.ai, referencing "Head of Ecosystem Alliances." This is a Wave 2 fast-follow role and will be evaluated as the first engagements come online.
