The implementation function is what gets every site - ours and our customers' - from signed contract or ground-break to running smoothly. You're joining a function that's already in motion: real hardware in the field, live client commitments, and a skilled team of field technicians and engineers in execution. What we're adding is a Manager who owns the playbook and scales the function for what comes next. We're seeking an Implementation Manager to own site deployments end-to-end. You'll bring deep expertise in install project management (scheduling and coordinating the installer and technician workforce) and install quality control (identifying the wrong conduit, the unsecured cable run, or the mount that won't hold before the customer does). In your first 90 days you'll deliver against in-flight commitments, take stock of open work, and refine the operating model. From there, you'll hire, scale the playbook, and build implementation into a function customers see as a differentiator. This role is based in Seattle (Fremont) and reporting to the VP of Solutions Engineering. What You'll Own: Install execution & quality (your zone of mastery) * Own physical install PM for every site: schedule the installer/technician workforce, sequence trades, and hold subcontractors to spec. * Run install QC end-to-end - catch the wrong conduit, the unsecured cable run, or the bad mount before the customer ever does. Site deployment, contract to go-live * Own the deployment plan for every site: civil requirements, hardware locations, network readiness, and go-live milestones. * Drive scheduling, hardware logistics, vendor coordination, and client-facing project communications on time, every time. Procurement, field tech & IT (managed, not executed) * Manage procurement and inventory, field-tech operations, and the network/IT side of every deployment. * Set the standards, partner with internal operators, and step in before issues become customer problems. Software, integration & customer success (through the Integrations PM) * Hire and lead the Systems Integration PM who owns software, process integration, customer training, change management, and post-go-live success. * Stay close to the customer relationship and back them up when it matters. Playbook & team * Build commissioning checklists, install handoff documents, site-specific runbooks, and SOW templates. * Document site specs, hardware configurations, and network details for every deployment. * Hire the gaps and build the bench that lets Outpost deploy at 10x our current pace without breaking. ## Related Videos - [Remote Driving on Plant Grounds with State-of-the-Art Cloud Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/251-remote-driving-on-plant-grounds-with-state-of-the-art-cloud-technologies) - [Hacking MSSQL on Cloud.
