About the Role
As our first EMEA Forward Deployed Product Manager, AI Agent, you will create, deploy and optimize AI Agents that transform our customers’ businesses and delight their customers. This highly cross-functional and customer-facing role blends product thinking, a nose for value, and project leadership with senior customer executives. At the end of the day, you own each AI Agent and the outcomes they drive for our customers, and you take that personally. You are a creative, pragmatic problem solver who thrives in fast-paced environments, rolls up your sleeves to build, and excels at turning ambiguity into execution.
In this role, you’ll partner with Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) who will support the build, integrations and optimization to make each AI Agent successful. You’ll also work closely with product and engineering, providing a tight feedback loop and custom tooling that will shape the future of our platform. As the first hire in EMEA, you’ll also play a key role in setting the standards for the role in the EMEA region and helping to grow the team as we scale.
We offer a comprehensive and people-first benefits package to support you at work and in life:
Cresta’s approach to compensation is simple: recognize impact, reward excellence, and invest in our people. We offer competitive, location-based pay that reflects the market and what each individual brings to the table.
Final offers are shaped by factors like experience, skills, education, and geography. In addition to base pay, total compensation includes equity and a comprehensive benefits package for you and your family.
We have noticed a rise in recruiting impersonations across the industry, where scammers attempt to access candidates' personal and financial information through fake interviews and offers. All Cresta recruiting email communications will always come from the @cresta.ai domain. Any outreach claiming to be from Cresta via other sources should be ignored. If you are uncertain whether you have been contacted by an official Cresta employee, reach out to recruiting@cresta.ai

Mentorship Program
Cresta runs a Flexible Hybrid model, so remote eligibility is set per role rather than company-wide — about 62% of its open roles are fully remote. Its careers page says its "hybrid model is built for flexibility," with some roles carrying in-office expectations while many are fully remote. Each posting is tagged with its location and work arrangement, so check the tag on the specific job before you apply.
Cresta leans toward synchronous, real-time collaboration rather than an async-first setup. Its careers page emphasizes fast-paced execution and operating principles like "patient in strategy, impatient in execution," and points to live rituals such as customer spotlights and brainstorming. Expect meaningful overlap with your team's working hours even in fully remote roles.
Cresta offers a choice of medical, dental, and vision plans; flexible time off that adapts to your location; and inclusive paid parental leave. Remote and hybrid employees get workspace support plus access to cutting-edge AI tooling, and equity (RSUs) is part of the package. Continuous learning is supported through weekly lunch-and-learns, guest speakers, and hackathons.
Cresta does not publish standardized salary bands, so compensation is discussed during the hiring process and varies by role and location. Equity is granted as RSUs on a standard four-year schedule: 25% vests after your first year, then monthly over the remaining three years.
Cresta is mission-driven and fast-paced, organized around operating principles such as "Mission is the boss," "Do too much," and "Have the courage to be disliked." Employees describe high ownership and unusual "talent density." It tends to suit people who want hands-on, high-impact work and are comfortable with directness and rapid execution.
Real outreach comes only from a Cresta recruiter using an @cresta.ai email address. Cresta says it will never text you about interviews or offers, and any employment inquiry from a non-cresta.ai address should be treated as spam. If you think you've been targeted by a hiring scam, Cresta encourages reporting it to the FBI's IC3.
