Commercial & Execution Lead - US Southeast

About Arkham

Arkham helps large enterprises solve their toughest challenges with trusted data and AI tailored to their operations. From automating order assignment to simplifying sell-out forecasting, leading retailers, CPG and PE-backed companies work with us to achieve high-impact results fast, laying the foundation for lasting AI transformation.

At the heart of our offering is our powerful Data & AI Platform — a highly customizable solution that unifies fragmented systems and data, establishes a single source of truth for trusted metrics, and delivers a suite of models and AI-powered applications. Instead of stitching together disparate tools, Arkham offers one integrated platform that evolves with our customers’ operations and works seamlessly with their existing technology stack.

With Arkham, customers deploy solutions that deliver tangible P&L and productivity impact: faster access to intelligence, automated reconciliation processes, robust alerting, demand forecasting, anomaly detection, among others.

To help our customers achieve these results quickly, we pair the platform with expert implementation from engineers and data scientists committed to solving their core challenges. With enterprise-grade compliance, a proven methodology, and a strong track record, we ensure our customers’ AI use cases succeed and pave the way for transformation across the entire organization.

Context for the role: US Expansion

Over the past two years, we’ve built a robust platform, an exceptional team, and clear success stories across Retail, CPG, Infrastructure, Energy, and Private Equity. Now we are focused on scaling in the United States.

U.S. enterprises are moving from AI experimentation to operational results. Most vendors sell point tools, but we know that’s not enough. To unlock real AI transformation, companies need flexible software that integrates into their operations, adapts to their context, and solves high-impact problems.

At Arkham, we’ve built exactly that: a flexible platform combined with expert implementation. It delivers working use cases in 6–8 weeks, then scales across functions.

Where we’ll focus

• Verticals: Retail and CPG (multi-site), Infrastructure/Energy (asset-heavy), PE-backed roll-ups.
• ICP: $200M–$5B revenue, fragmented systems (ERP/POS/SCADA/CRM), distributed operations, lean data teams.
• Buyers: COO, CIO/CTO, VP Operations, Head of Data/Analytics, PE Operating Partners.
  
  

Wedge use cases

• Demand forecasting and inventory planning.
• Automated order assignment and distribution optimization.
• Price elasticity and margin optimization.
• Single-customer view and loyalty analytics.
• Asset performance, anomaly detection, and alerting.
• Financial and operational reconciliation with automated reporting.

Go-to-market

• Founder-led sales with Forward Deployed Engineers.
• Land with a POC, prove impact, then expand by function/site.
• Partnerships with PE firms, operators, and select integrators.

Why Arkham wins

• One integrated platform (data + models + AI apps) instead of stitching tools.
• Faster outcomes at a fraction of internal build cost.
• Hands-on team focused on measurable P&L impact.
• Massive operational cost advantage.

• Ability to design and run structured outreach strategies (outbound, partnerships, events).
• Comfortable leading POC processes with technical teams and engaging directly with executive buyers.
