AI Activation Strategist (Client Management / Non-Engineering)

Chennai, India

At Vendasta, we're leading the AI revolution from right here in Chennai and beyond. We work together to empower our partners and customers through our AI-powered customer acquisition and engagement platform to help them get more customers, and keep them. We're proud to share that Vendasta has officially been named one of Canada's Most Admired Corporate Cultures for 2025!

About the Job The mission of the AI Activation Strategist is to act as a trusted partner and guide for our clients, transforming business needs into functional AI-driven solutions within the Vendasta ecosystem. The person in this role brings a service-first mindset, genuine curiosity about AI, and a consultative, people-focused communication style. You'll build strong client relationships from the very first conversation, understand what each client needs, get their solution up and running, and keep checking in to make sure it continues to deliver results.

This is a client-facing, non-engineering role. You won't be writing code or building AI models. You'll be consulting with small business clients, setting up and tuning existing Vendasta AI tools, running demos, and training clients so they can manage on their own.

Your Impact

As an AI Activation Strategist, you'll work with clients, Senior Specialists, and AI Workflow Architects to:

- Get to know clients and their businesses, listening closely to understand their goals and where AI-powered digital marketing can help
- Be the client's go-to person, giving them one familiar point of contact from start to finish
- Recommend solutions that fit each client's needs, using Vendasta AI tools (e.g.,



Rep AI, Content AI)
- Set up and fine-tune AI tools behind the scenes so they run smoothly for the client
- Walk clients through their finished solution and make sure they're happy before launch
- Train clients so they feel confident using their solution on their own
- Partner with Senior Specialists or AI Workflow Architects when a client needs something more customized
- Check in regularly to review results and make adjustments that keep clients successful

What You Bring to the Table

- 2+ years in Client Success, Account Management, or Technical Consulting (SaaS or Digital Marketing preferred)
- Clear evidence of owning client relationships, running discovery and training sessions, and handling escalations
- A warm, transparent communication style that makes new ideas easy for small business owners to understand
- Comfort using AI tools every day as a user, not as a builder. You don't need a technical background; we'll train you on the specifics
- A Bachelor's degree in Business, Communications, Marketing, or a related field is preferred

Please note: this role is not suited to candidates whose primary background is software, data, or ML engineering or development.
