Sample interview questionsDescribe a complex customer deployment you led from discovery through optimization.I would explain how I defined the business problem and success metrics, aligned technical and executive stakeholders, built an implementation plan, managed risks during launch, and used post-launch data to prioritize iterative improvements.

How would you identify and prioritize AI Agent use cases for a new enterprise customer?

I would map high-volume customer interactions, operational pain points, business value, technical feasibility, and data availability. I would prioritize use cases with measurable impact, manageable integration dependencies, clear guardrails, and an achievable path to launch.

How do you balance a customer's bespoke requirements with the needs of a scalable product platform?

I first distinguish between configuration, reusable capabilities, and truly one-off requests. I communicate trade-offs transparently, validate customer value, and partner with product and engineering to prioritize requests that can create durable platform value.

What metrics would you use to evaluate whether an AI Agent is successful?

I would define outcome metrics jointly with the customer, such as containment or automation rate, resolution quality, customer satisfaction, conversion, average handle time, escalation rate, and cost-to-serve. I would also track reliability, safety, and adoption metrics to ensure performance is sustainable.

How would you handle a senior customer stakeholder who is dissatisfied shortly after an AI Agent launch?

I would acknowledge the concern promptly, clarify the expected versus observed outcomes with data, and establish a focused recovery plan. That plan would include root-cause analysis, prioritized fixes, clear owners and timelines, frequent communication, and agreement on the metrics that demonstrate recovery.

About the Role

As our first EMEA Forward Deployed Product Manager, AI Agent, you will create, deploy and optimize AI Agents that transform our customers’ businesses and delight their customers. This highly cross-functional and customer-facing role blends product thinking, a nose for value, and project leadership with senior customer executives. At the end of the day, you own each AI Agent and the outcomes they drive for our customers, and you take that personally. You are a creative, pragmatic problem solver who thrives in fast-paced environments, rolls up your sleeves to build, and excels at turning ambiguity into execution.

In this role, you’ll partner with Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) who will support the build, integrations and optimization to make each AI Agent successful. You’ll also work closely with product and engineering, providing a tight feedback loop and custom tooling that will shape the future of our platform. As the first hire in EMEA, you’ll also play a key role in setting the standards for the role in the EMEA region and helping to grow the team as we scale.

What You’ll Do

* Own AI Agent outcomes for our customers — defining and delivering on the metrics that move the needle. This includes finding additional automation opportunities that can provide even more value! To do this, you’ll…
* Own the deployment lifecycle for AI Agents — from scoping and kickoff to launch and post-go-live optimization
* Design, build, test and iterate on AI agents in partnership with FDEs using Cresta’s internal tools and the latest technologies to deliver the highest customer ROI
* Serve as the AI Agent SME for the EMEA Sales cycle, partnering on demos, solutioning, and deal reviews to ensure technical feasibility, value articulation, and successful handoff to deployment.
* Lead customer relationships and act as the primary point of contact for AI Agent. Help customers move faster to ensure we can deliver quickly and effectively.
* Facilitate workshops and design sessions with customer stakeholders to align on agent use cases, workflows, and success criteria
* Work closely with FDEs to ensure smooth implementation, build new capabilities as needed and provide feedback and improvements to our broader platform
* Improve our playbooks for agent development and customer deployment
* Build our forward deployed practice for EMEA, setting the standards for future growth

What We’re Looking For

* 5+ years of experience in Technology Consulting, Implementations, Product, or Customer Success roles, ideally working closely with AI or LLM first products
* Hands-on work style – curiosity with a bias for action. You anticipate needs and bottlenecks and deliver with urgency and care.
* Experience leading complex deployments, owning customer relationships (including senior customer stakeholders), and working cross-functionally
* Strong technical understanding, systems thinking and exposure to building Agents (not necessarily conversational, personal projects count!)
* Comfortable working with ambiguity and learning quickly in a dynamic startup environment
* Passion for AI, automation, and shaping the future of customer experience

Bonus Points

* Background in product management, conversation design or forward deployed engineering roles
* Experience in a startup or high-growth SaaS environment
* Familiarity with customer support and contact center operations

Perks & Benefits:

We offer a comprehensive and people-first benefits package to support you at work and in life:

* Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage with plans to fit you and your family
* Paid parental leave for all new parents welcoming a new child
* Remote work setup budget to help you create a productive home office
* Monthly wellness and communication stipend to keep you connected and balanced
* 20 days of vacation time

Final offers are shaped by factors like experience, skills, education, and geography. In addition to base pay, total compensation includes equity and a comprehensive benefits package for you and your family.
