Our Mission

We build the software that the world’s factories run on.

Manufacturers - and the companies that make the physical world as we know it - have been left behind by digitization. They are faced with clunky software from the 1980s, Excel, and pen & paper. It matters: to manufacturers who need to compete in our global marketplace, to the people who run the production lines, and to our society when we can avoid needless waste.

Ferry is pioneering a new wave of Manufacturing Operations Platforms for the AI age. We are giving digital superpowers to the hard-working folks who are at the coalface of production. Our software powers some of the largest manufacturers globally, providing the tools, insights & capabilities for them to revolutionize what & how they produce.

We are backed by leading VC funds across both the US and Europe, and partner with some of the largest companies on Earth. If you join us, your work will directly impact the physical world from day 1. The stakes are high for our customers, and in turn they are high for us, so we are held to a demanding standard that pushes us to the best we can be.

About the Role

Deployment Strategists ensure Ferry’s technology delivers outsized impact on our customers’ most pressing manufacturing problems. They dive deep into complex operations, bring structure to ambiguity, and work directly with users to design and deploy mission-critical solutions. Deployment Strategists sit at the intersection of problem-solving, data analysis, and stakeholder engagement.

At Ferry, Deployment Strategists own customer relationships end-to-end. Your work will involve identifying critical problems, building products using the Ferry platform, driving adoption on-site, and ensuring projects land with clarity and measurable impact. Your work will directly shape how the physical world gets made.

Exceptional analytical thinker with strong problem decomposition skills
Equally effective engaging with executives and frontline operators
Strong communicator who can distill complexity into clear narratives and actions
Minimum 2 years in a fast-paced, analytical, or client-facing environment (i.e. consulting, operations, investment banking / PE / VC)
Willing to travel and work directly with customers on-site
Proficient in SQL and comfortable working directly with large datasets to diagnose problems and validate solutions (or the ability to learn at rocket speed)
Available to work in-person with our London-based team, 5 days a week

Nice to Haves

Work with customers, from the C-Suite to operators on the line, to build bespoke applications
Lead training sessions to ensure the deployed applications serve their intended purpose and drive adoption
Present deployment outcomes and impact to executive teams
Feed insights from the field directly into Ferry’s engineering and product teams
