The Opportunity
We have historically executed deployment our platform and application solutions as a self-implementer, working together with specialty partners. As we sign larger enterprises, we are expanding our implementation services organization, with clear ownership of professional services, defined roles and skill levels, disciplined scoping and resourcing, accountability and AI-integrated methodologies for delivering on our implementation commitments.
We are hiring an experienced systems implementation leader to design, launch, and run the team that orchestrates the integration, configuration, and delivery of our platform within the client’s environment. This is a founding, and hands-on, leadership role. You will establish the operating model, help set the standards for how implementation work is scoped, priced, staffed, and delivered, and build a small team around it. You will work closely with executive leadership and the broader business to make it real.
