About this role
CompetenciesYou are a strategic thinker who is equally comfortable rolling up your sleeves and getting into operational details. You bridge the gap between business and technical stakeholders with confidence and clarity, and you have the leadership track record to back it up.
That track record looks like:
8+ years leading and managing teams of at least 5-10 people in a high-growth, cross-functional startup or scale-up environment
Deep technical expertise across APIs, data architecture, integrations, and automation
Strong project management skills, able to run multiple large-scale engagements in parallel without losing detail or momentum
An excellent communicator who translates fluently between commercial and technical audiences at every level
A hands-on leader who resolves escalations, trains the team, and joins high-risk go-lives rather than managing from a distance
TrajectoryAs Head of Technical Deployment EMEA, you will own the full lifecycle of how Planhat deploys for its most complex customers:
Manage, grow, and coach your team of Technical Deployment Specialists
Design and evolve the end-to-end deployment lifecycle, from discovery and scoping to integration, configuration, and go-live
Build repeatable frameworks: playbooks, templates, and scalable processes to drive quality and speed
Partner cross-functionally with CS, Sales, and Product to align customer deployment strategy with business goals
Act as a technical architect in complex deployments, integrating with customer data systems, building automations, and ensuring robust data flows
Lead process improvements to reduce deployment time, optimize resource utilization, and boost customer satisfaction
Track and report on deployment metrics: team capacity, utilization, customer outcomes, and deployment velocity
