Senior Forward-Deployed Product Manager
Axiamatic is the AI-native control plane for enterprise transformation. Large transformation programs — ERP migrations, CRM rollouts, enterprise-wide operating model changes — have for decades exceeded what any human team can coordinate. Roughly 70% of these multi-year, multi-hundred-million-dollar initiatives fall short of expectations. Misalignments and drift build up quietly, and by the time they surface, the cost is already in.
We're changing that. Axiamatic builds a Living Context Graph — a continuously updated digital twin of a customer's transformation, ingesting structured and unstructured signals from 250+ enterprise systems (SAP, Oracle, Dynamics 365, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Jira, Azure DevOps, Teams, Slack, and more). On top of it, our Transformation Agents detect translation loss, cross-stream drift, and change resistance as they form, and our Playbooks route remediation to the right stakeholder in the tools they already use.
We came out of stealth in March 2026 with $54M from Greylock and Bessemer. Our founders Rajiv Gupta and Kaushik Narayan have done this before — most recently at Skyhigh Networks (acquired by McAfee), where they defined the Cloud Access Security Broker category that Gartner once named the fastest-growing in cybersecurity. Rajiv previously co-founded Confluent Software (Oracle) and Securent (Cisco). Our early customers include the Heico Company and Marmon (a Berkshire Hathaway subsidiary), and we're working with the world's largest systems integrators.
Role Overview
A Senior Forward-Deployed Product Manager (FDPM) works at the intersection of enterprise transformation programs, product development, and AI-driven analysis.
In this role, you will work closely with large enterprise customers who are executing complex transformation programs. You will engage directly with program leaders, functional architects, PMO teams, and system integrators to understand how their programs operate and where risks and inefficiencies exist.
Your primary responsibility is to translate this real-world program context into analytical artifacts, structured insights, and product capabilities inside the Axiamatic platform.
This role combines elements of product management, domain expertise, and hands-on solution building. You will also play an important role in pre-sales engagements, helping prospective customers understand how Axiamatic can help them manage and de-risk their transformation programs
