What the job involves
- As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you’ll lead the design, delivery, and ongoing optimization of automation solutions for Tennr’s most complex customers — large-scale health systems, national provider groups, and enterprise partners. This is a highly technical, strategic, and customer-facing role that demands deep domain fluency, executive presence, and strong systems thinking
- You’ll own implementations end-to-end: from pre-sale discovery and business case alignment to go-live and expansion. You’ll act as both a trusted technical advisor and a project lead, working closely with senior customer stakeholders and cross-functional teams at Tennr to ensure lasting success
- This role sits within a high-performance implementation pod and directly influences Tennr’s go-to-market and product strategy
- Lead end-to-end implementations, from discovery to post-go-live
- Align cross-functional teams and manage project delivery, risks, and change
- Conduct operational audits to identify workflow gaps and automation opportunities
- Design scalable, configurable solutions using Tennr’s platform and APIs
- Reimagine processes with automation best practices, not just replicate legacy systems
- Collaborate with Product, Engineering, and Sales to shape solutions and delivery scope
- Maintain documentation, enable knowledge transfer, and improve internal delivery tools
- Support sales strategy, mentor junior team members, and influence product roadmap
Our take
In the healthcare system, there are inefficiencies associated with the referral process to specialists. Often coming in various forms, from email to fax, without any standardized structure, this leads to administrative burdens and significant delays in patient care.
Tennr has developed a machine learning and document scanning platform that automates the extraction of relevant information from referrals and facilitates faster appointment scheduling. With its focus solely on the healthcare industry, it addresses the complexities of medical terminology and ensures doctors, clinics and insurers stay informed throughout the process.
It's had a successful start, customers reporting significant improvements in their workflows, signalling strong market demand for the solution. This success is accompanied by strong funding, enabling the company to focus on accelerating its growth. It has also announced the launch of Tennr Network, which provides real-time updates to referring and receiving providers, as well as patients, on the status of any referral.
