We are looking for an Implementation Manager to join our growing CX team. The ideal candidate is a proactive, solution-oriented professional with experience managing complex software implementations for mid-market to light enterprise clients. This is an individual contributor role and does not include people management responsibilities.

- Manage 30–40 concurrent implementation projects, each involving multiple stakeholders and varying timelines.
- Design, deliver, and adjust project plans and milestone schedules to ensure engagement and momentum throughout multi-month onboarding.
- Conduct live training sessions, working sessions, and executive-level updates via video conference.
- Motivate and guide customers through complex technical rollouts, ensuring platform understanding and operational readiness.
- Serve as the primary point of contact during implementation, navigating different personalities, org structures, and stakeholder levels.
- Collaborate closely with Product, Support, and CS teams to ensure seamless internal alignment and a smooth customer journey.
- Gather feedback, identify risks, and proactively address blockers to protect timelines and outcomes.
- Prepare to take ownership of Alpha or strategic accounts after demonstrating strong mastery of the platform and process.
- Continually surprise and delight customers with a can-do mindset and a customer-first approach.
Requirements
- 3–5 years of experience in SaaS onboarding, implementation, or project management (platform experience preferred over point solutions).

- Experience with cloud-based platforms and the ability to quickly learn complex software ecosystems.
- Strong communication skills across all channels (Zoom, Slack, Salesforce, etc.) and with various seniority levels.
- Demonstrated ability to manage complex personalities and drive accountability without direct authority.
- High emotional intelligence, professional resilience, and a go-getter mindset.
- Exceptional organizational and project management skills with the ability to set goals, manage deadlines, and work with minimal direction.
- Experience working autonomously in a remote environment.

Bonus Skills:
- Platform implementation experience (ERP, HCM, CRM—e.g., NetSuite, Workday, etc.)
