Field CTO, UK

We partner with enterprises tackling the hardest problems across high-stakes industries like finance, manufacturing, defense, healthcare, and the public sector, co-creating customized AI systems that they can run on their terms.

The Field CTO role is one of Mistral's senior external technical voices; a role for someone who has earned genuine credibility in the AI field and can engage enterprise boards, CIOs, and CTOs as a peer. You will shape how strategic accounts think about their AI strategy, represent Mistral at major industry events, and publish thought leadership that reflects a real point of view on where AI is going. You will work closely with regional sales leadership across your territory and bring what you learn from executive conversations back into Mistral's product direction.

This is an externally-facing, influence-driven role. The output is measured in relationships built, content published, and executive conversations that move.

Executive engagement Run Mistral's Executive Briefing Center with your regional VP; a selective program for C-level stakeholders at strategic accounts.

Build and sustain trusted-advisor relationships with CIOs, CTOs, CDOs, and VP Engineering across your territory. Thought leadership Publish regularly: articles, whitepapers, and analysis of where enterprise AI is heading. Brief Gartner and Forrester on Mistral's roadmap and market position. Track frontier research and bring it into customer conversations. Conference and event presence Represent Mistral at major industry events through keynotes, panels, and roundtables.

Build a public presence that generates inbound interest from enterprise executives and the wider AI community. Market feedback Bring what you hear in executive conversations back into product direction. Patterns across accounts on governance requirements and deployment constraints should reach the people building the models.
