What You'll Do
- Lead implementations for complex, strategically significant or high-value customers - multi-jurisdiction rollouts, bespoke requirements, senior stakeholder scrutiny
- Own discovery where scope is broad or contested, converting competing objectives into a sequenced, deliverable plan
- Design configurations that hold up at scale, making trade-offs deliberately and explaining them credibly
- Manage a portfolio of concurrent implementations against agreed timelines, milestones and outcomes
- Manage the difficult conversations: resetting expectations, reframing requests that add unnecessary complexity, recovering implementations that have gone off track
- Coach colleagues and review their work against implementation standards, holding the quality bar where it slips
- Define and improve the playbooks, configuration standards and training assets the team relies on
- Feed structured, evidenced insight into Product, separating one-off requests from recurring customer needs
Requirements

- A track record of owning complex or high-value implementations end to end
- Fluency with contracts, negotiation positions, approval processes and commercial workflows, and the confidence to interrogate a customer's process rather than record it
- Proven judgement: distinguishing a genuine requirement from a product limitation, and both from an opportunity to recommend a better approach - and holding that position with a senior stakeholder
- Credibility with executive audiences, including General Counsel, Heads of Legal Operations and procurement leadership
- The ability to prioritise across a demanding portfolio, with accuracy maintained under pressure
- The ability to coach others and give direct, constructive feedback
- The ability to set direction in ambiguity, for yourself and for others
- Experience crafting effective prompts for AI systems, and the ability to teach it
