About Firstwork
Labour markets are broken. Millions of people are ready to work and can't start. Screening, right-to-work checks, contracts, onboarding and scheduling still run across disconnected systems, with hundreds of manual decisions in between. Firstwork builds AI agents that run frontline workforce operations end to end. We activate hundreds of thousands of workers a month globally for some of the world's largest employers and staffing firms, working forward-deployed inside the customer's operation. Backed by Y Combinator and Gradient (Google’s AI fund), with offices in New York, with London and Dubai opening later this year.
Why this role
Our deals are won and lost in the technical room. By the time an enterprise customer is taking us seriously, the conversation has moved on to their document types, their screening vendors, their ATS, their audit requirements and the precise reason onboarding currently takes them eleven days. Someone has to sit in that room, understand how the operation really runs, and design something that survives procurement, security review and technical validation.
The product is configured to each customer's operational reality, so this is genuine solution design. What you produce goes to our forward-deployed engineers, and it has to be accurate enough for them to build against. You are the first Solutions Consultant in Europe, which means you set how we run discovery, demos, and implementation planning across the region.
What you'll do
Discovery with operations, compliance and IT stakeholders
Customer workshops on site, across Europe
Demonstrations built for the specific customer in the room
Solution design and technical qualification
Scoping, running and evaluating proofs of concept
Support through security and compliance review
Implementation planning, and the handover to delivery
Structured product feedback back into engineering
What we're looking for
Four or more years in solutions consulting, sales engineering, or a forward-deployed or implementation role
Time at Rippling, Deel, Workday, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Bullhorn, UKG, Fountain, or somewhere with comparable enterprise complexity
Enough understanding of HR, workforce or compliance operations to push back on a customer's assumptions
Technical credibility on APIs, integrations, data models and security questionnaires
Clear writing. Vague scoping documents turn into implementation problems six months later
A habit of prototyping during the workshop instead of after it, and turning notes into structured requirements the same day
Fluency in how agents behave. Where they work, where they need a human to review, and what our system does when it isn't sure
If you would rather design the solution than demo it, come and talk to us.
