Getting a customer live is just the beginning. Getting them to actually adopt, embed, and expand the Pluralsight Platform inside their organization - that's where transformation happens. That's the mission you'll own.
We're looking for a Director of Implementation & Adoption Services to build and scale the team, systems, and playbooks that turn new customers into power users. This is a role for someone who thrives at the intersection of people leadership, delivery excellence, and cross-functional strategy - someone who sees implementation not as a hand-off task, but as the foundation of customer lifetime value.
If you love building high-performing teams, designing scalable delivery models, and being the calm, decisive voice when things get complex, keep reading.
Who You're Committed to Being
- A customer-obsessed operator. You measure success in time-to-value, adoption depth, and renewal - not just tickets closed.
- A builder, not just a manager. You don't inherit a playbook - you write it, test it, and improve it.
- A calm executive presence under pressure. When an enterprise account is at risk, you're the person the room turns to.
- A talent magnet. You recruit, coach, and retain professionals who want to do the best work of their careers.
- A cross-functional connector. You know that implementation success is a team sport with Sales, CS, Product, and Finance.
What You'll Own
- The end-to-end delivery model - from contracting through go-live, including milestone tracking and a seamless handoff to Customer Success.
- Methodology and playbooks - defining, documenting, and continuously improving implementation and adoption standards tailored to each customer segment.
- Scalability and automation - identifying where technology, process redesign, or outsourcing models can improve efficiency without sacrificing quality.
- Team growth - recruiting, developing, and retaining Implementation & Adoption professionals at every level.
- Executive escalation - stepping in as the senior point of contact for at-risk or complex onboarding and adoption engagements.
- Strategic partnership with Customer Success - co-designing adoption strategies and handoff experiences that feel effortless to the customer.
- Services innovation - evaluating and building new implementation and adoption offerings that expand our value proposition.
- Performance visibility - owning and reporting on KPIs including time-to-value, on-time go-live rate, adoption depth, onboarding CSAT, and first-renewal retention.
Requirements
- 10+ years in SaaS implementation, professional services, or customer onboarding/adoption - including 6+ years leading people.
- A proven track record scaling implementation and adoption teams inside a high-growth SaaS environment.
- Fluency in both the technical and human sides of enterprise adoption - integrations like SSO, SCIM, LMS, API, and analytics, alongside the change management that makes adoption stick.
- A track record of cross-functional influence with Sales, Customer Success, Product, and Finance leadership.
- Experience building and/or managing billable professional services offerings.
- Bonus: a background in workforce development, L&D strategy, or technology skills enablement.
Benefits & conditions
- We work in a blended environment that supports collaboration, flexibility, and connection across teams.
- We are mission-driven, shaping the future of tech upskillling and delivering impact that matters.
- We foster a culture of inclusion and belonging, where everyone can contribute and thrive.
- We are always learning, creating an environment where you can take on new challenges, expand your skills, and grow with purpose.
- Benefits include competitive compensation, bonus eligibility, comprehensive medical coverage, unlimited PTO, wellness reimbursement, professional development funds, and more., The annual US base salary range for this role is 169,000-212,000 CAD. Actual compensation will depend on location, skills, experience, and other factors. Additional benefits and bonuses may apply.
