Being a Dialer

At Dialpad, you'll be part of a collaborative team working toward our shared mission of making our customers and their employees wildly successful. We believe that every conversation matters, and we're elevating each one with a platform that drives real-time insights and automation for our customers.

We thrive on continuous evolution, where every employee leverages industry-leading AI to constantly refine our platform and our own skills. We seek individuals who not only meet our high standards but go beyond them. Our ambition is significant, and achieving it requires a team that operates at the highest level. We look for individuals who are not just ambitious but who also possess the traits that are fundamental to our success : Scrappy, Curious, Optimistic, Persistent, and Empathetic .

Your role

As an AI Deployment Manager, you will lead the end-to-end delivery lifecycle of autonomous AI systems for our enterprise customers. Unlike traditional software, agentic AI involves non-deterministic logic and complex multi-step reasoning. You will lead a "Deployment Pod" consisting of Forward Deployed Engineers and AI Deployment Engineers to ensure our agents don't just "talk," but actually "do" work safely and effectively.

Your mission is to manage the RAID (Risks, Assumptions, Issues, Dependencies) of autonomous systems, ensuring that every deployment has clear guardrails, measurable KPIs, and high user adoption.

Reporting to the Manager of Partner Professional Services, this is a hybrid role (3 days per week) based in our Kitchener office .

What you'll do

• Pod Leadership : Orchestrate a cross-functional team (FDEs, Architects, and Data Scientists) to deliver complex multi-agent systems.
• Scoping & Discovery : Work with customers to map their manual business processes (e.g., "Inbound Lead Qualification") into structured agentic "Skills" and "Tasks."
• Risk & Guardrail Management : Lead the "Safety Review" of every deployment. Ensure agents have clear limits on their authority (e.g., "The agent can draft an email but cannot hit 'Send' without human approval").
• Evaluation & UAT : Define the "Gold Dataset" (the ground truth) for User Acceptance Testing. Manage the process of "grading" AI performance to ensure the agent meets the customer's accuracy requirements before go-live.
• Integration Coordination : Oversee the mapping of agent tool-calling to connectors (CRM, ERP, Billing systems), ensuring security and data privacy standards are met.
• Change Management : Partner with customer business leads to help showcase the value of our Agents to increase adoption.
• Ensure Success : Define success criteria, capture appropriate data, and report out on successes and failures.
