- As a Sr. Implementation Manager, you play a vital role in our growing company. You are the primary point of contact for large, strategic partners during the onboarding process from start to finish, owning our most complex accounts — large, strategic, and multi-product/multi-campus implementations.
- Beyond your own implementation projects, you act as a mentor and multiplier for the team — coaching Implementation Managers and Associates, contributing to org-wide process and documentation standards, and helping define what great implementation looks like as our product footprint evolves.
- Success in this role means independently navigating ambiguity, bringing strategic depth to every engagement, and being viewed by partners as a trusted advisor rather than just an implementation contact. We're looking for someone with a customer-first mentality who brings prior CRM or complex systems implementation experience, operates with minimal oversight, and is energized by helping extend our thoughtful implementation process to the additional needs of more data-heavy, complex implementations.
- Serves as the primary point of contact for partners during implementation, owning enterprise, strategic, and multi-product/multi-campus accounts.
- Responsible for successful adoption, onboarding, and launches associated with the assigned accounts as well as a smooth transition to Partner Success.
- Ensures Partners are following change management best practices, often providing change management coaching to ensure each Partner team and persona is involved and informed accordingly.
- Proactively identifies and mitigates partner and delivery risk in collaboration with Partner Success counterparts.
- Partners closely with Product and Technical Integrations to help define implementation methodology, configuration standards, and documentation for new and evolving account types — applying our existing implementation process and helping expand it to cover the additional needs of more data-heavy, complex implementations like CRM, and contributing more broadly to team-wide process and standards improvement.
- Mentors Implementation Managers and Associates; serves as an escalation resource for peers on complex partner relationship or delivery challenges.
- Maintains Project Plan for each account via PM tracking tools (Asana, Salesforce, etc).
- Collaborate across internal teams to ensure tasks are completed for implementation.
- Expert proficiency at time management, estimates to completion, and calendar management; sets and manages proper expectations with partners with minimal oversight.
- Configure automated SFTP integrations for partners in a way that optimizes future, ongoing data syncs.
- Assist partners with basic field mapping and data alignment conversations and decisions, at times serving as a liaison between the Partner and technical teams.
