Job description

We’re looking for a detail-driven, action-oriented Implementation Specialist to play a critical role in bringing new clients, products, and programs to life.

This is a hands-on role where you won’t just coordinate implementations, you’ll own them. From onboarding through go-live, you’ll drive execution, solve problems, and ensure everything is set up for long-term success.

If you’re someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, enjoys managing moving parts, and takes pride in seeing projects through to completion, this role is for you.

  • Facilitate kickoff meetings, discovery sessions, and status updates
  • Translate client requirements into actionable workflows and tasks
  • Track timelines, dependencies, risks, and milestones-and keep everything moving
  • Support testing, validation, and operational readiness
  • Identify risks early and drive resolution before they become issues
  • Ensure a smooth transition into ongoing Client Success support

Drive Cross-Functional Execution

  • Partner closely with Sales, Client Success, Operations, Product, Accounting, and Compliance
  • Coordinate tasks across teams to ensure alignment and timely delivery
  • Remove blockers and keep implementation progress on track
  • Bridge the gap between client expectations and internal execution

Support Operational Setup & Workflow Design

  • Assist with operational setup and onboarding logistics
  • Analyze workflows to identify gaps, dependencies, and improvements
  • Document processes, requirements, and implementation steps
  • Support knowledge transfer and training where needed
  • Help stabilize operations post-implementation

Deliver a Strong Client Experience

  • Build trusted relationships with clients and internal stakeholders
  • Communicate clearly and proactively throughout the implementation lifecycle
  • Manage expectations around timelines, risks, and deliverables
  • Maintain professionalism and composure in fast-moving or complex situations

Keep Projects Organized & Moving

  • Maintain implementation plans, documentation, and status reporting
  • Track action items and ensure follow-through
  • Prioritize tasks across multiple implementations simultaneously
  • Contribute to standardized templates, workflows, and best practices

Continuously Improve

  • Identify opportunities to improve efficiency, scalability, and client experience
  • Contribute ideas to enhance implementation processes and execution
  • Participate in post-implementation reviews and lessons learned
  • Support KPI tracking and reporting

What Success Looks Like

  • Implementations delivered on time and with high quality
  • Smooth onboarding experiences with strong client satisfaction
  • Clear, accurate documentation and operational setup
  • Reduced delays, escalations, and errors
  • Strong cross-functional collaboration
  • Faster time-to-go-live and successful post-implementation stabilization

Requirements

Do you have experience in Managing projects?, Do you have a Bachelor’s degree?, * Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience

  • 5-8 years in client-facing implementation, onboarding, or operational roles
  • Experience coordinating projects across multiple teams
  • Strong organizational and time management skills

  • Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
  • Problem-solving mindset with a bias toward action

Preferred:

How You Work

  • You’re highly organized and thrive in structured, detail-heavy work
  • You communicate clearly and proactively
  • You stay calm under pressure and adapt quickly
  • You collaborate well but don’t need constant direction
