From Retell AI's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Retell AI is using first-principles thinking to reimagine the call center with cutting-edge voice AI. Thousands of companies now use Retell's AI voice agents to handle sales, support, and logistics calls that once required large teams of human agents. Backed by Y Combinator, Alt Capital, and other leading investors, we've scaled to $80M in ARR with a team of 50, up from $5M at the start of 2025, and are now valued at over $1.5B.
Our vision for 2026 is to build a modern CX platform where entire contact centers are powered by AI. Instead of basic automation that needs constant human tuning, we're creating intelligent AI “workers” that act as frontline agents, QA analysts, and managers, continuously executing, monitoring, and improving every customer interaction.
We're growing fast and looking for ambitious builders who want to tackle hard technical problems, move quickly, and have a real impact on one of the fastest-growing voice AI companies in the world.
Let's build the future together.
As a Senior Strategic Deployment Manager, you’ll work directly with some of the world’s leading companies to identify where AI can have the biggest impact and help turn those opportunities into real, production-scale deployments.
You’ll operate at the intersection of strategy, technology, product, and execution. You’ll work with executives and senior operators to understand their business, identify opportunities for AI automation, build the business case, and lead cross-functional teams through implementation and launch.
This is a highly visible role with significant ownership. You’ll work closely with Sales, Product, Engineering, and Customer Success, while helping shape how Retell’s largest customers adopt and scale voice AI.
If you enjoy ambiguous problems, working with senior stakeholders, and taking an idea from “should we do this?” to “this is running in production,” this role is for you.
