Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Implementation Manager - **Company:** Peregrine Technologies - **Location:** San Francisco, CA, United States - **Experience:** Experienced - **Salary:** $140,000.0 - $165,000.0 - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Access Network, Artificial Intelligence, Data Systems, Network Connections, Enterprise Software Applications, Software Coding - **Published:** September 4, 2026 - **Apply:** https://startup.jobs/implementation-manager-peregrine-technologies-2-8907171 ## About the Role * You are a relentless project manager. You track every open item across your portfolio and hold every stakeholder - internal and external - accountable with precision and care * You are fluent in the language of data systems without necessarily being a data engineer. You know what a credential string is, can tell when a data source isn't connecting, and can work with an engineering team to diagnose and unblock it * You are skilled at navigating complex organizations where individuals may require some AI-upskilling. When there are roadblocks in customer deployments, you stay calm and find the path forward anyway * You are a clear, direct communicator - in writing and in live sessions - and you default to structured, asynchronous information-gathering over unnecessary meetings * You are genuinely curious about AI tooling. You'll be one of the first people at Peregrine to manage a portfolio of deployments primarily through agents, and you'll have strong opinions about how to make that better over time * You are a thoughtful trainer. You know the difference between a customer who is truly self-sufficient and one who just thinks they are - and you close that gap before you sign off, * 3-6 years of experience in enterprise software implementation, technical project management, or customer-facing deployment roles * Demonstrated ability to manage multiple concurrent implementation projects against tight timelines * Comfort with technical concepts - data connectivity, credential management, permissions structures, data model configuration - without necessarily writing code * Exceptional written communication and documentation skills; you send clear, structured updates and leave no ambiguity about next steps * Experience working with customers that have limited IT resources or low technical sophistication - public sector or government experience a strong plus * High agency, low ego. You figure things out and you keep moving ## Description The Implementation Manager owns the deployment of Peregrine's platform across a portfolio of public safety customers. You will direct AI agents through configuration and integration, keep concurrent projects moving, and hold every deployment accountable from kickoff through go-live. In this highly focused role, you will work against a clear metric: timely, successful launches-and we're looking for someone who takes real pride in that. As an Implementation Manager, you will: * Own the end-to-end deployment lifecycle for a portfolio of customers - from initial kickoff through network connectivity, data source integration, QA, permissions configuration, training, and go-live * Direct AI agents to execute integrations, configure ontologies and data models, and set up customer-specific front-end configurations - translating customer requirements into high-quality agent inputs and rigorously validating outputs * Drive and unblock network access and data source connectivity, including internal coordination with Peregrine's infrastructure and engineering teams and direct engagement with customer IT stakeholders * Facilitate virtual kickoffs and working sessions to align customer stakeholders, establish a project cadence, and map the human terrain of each agency * Run lean, self-service-oriented QA and training sessions that upskill customer POCs to validate their own data and engage Peregrine directly - rather than creating dependency on Peregrine staff * Manage permissions configuration end-to-end: gathering requirements via structured intake, directing agents to translate them into Peregrine, and testing outputs by impersonating roles * Maintain rigorous task management across a concurrent portfolio of deployments, surfacing blockers and escalating with urgency * Identify patterns across your book of business to refine agent prompts, improve deployment playbooks, and raise quality across every future deployment What Success Looks Like * Deployments you manage achieve significant improvements in speed-to-value, go-live times, and sustained user adoption across the organization * Customer POCs leave your QA and training sessions capable of engaging Peregrine's self-service tools independently, without calling you first * Blockers - whether in networking, credential validation, or customer IT - get surfaced and resolved within hours, not days * Your agent prompts and deployment playbooks improve measurably over time, reducing variance in go-live quality across your portfolio ## Related Videos - [From Messy Queries to Scalable Systems - How Data Engineering actually works](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100203-from-messy-queries-to-scalable-systems-how-data-engineering-actually-works) - [Small, Secure, Interconnected: The next Internet Protocol](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100062-small-secure-interconnected-the-next-internet-protocol) - [Unleashing the Power of Developers: Why Cybersecurity is the Missing Piece?!?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/712-unleashing-the-power-of-developers-why-cybersecurity-is-the-missing-piece) - [Engineering/Manager Pendulum: Generating compound interest on your career](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100348-engineering-manager-pendulum-generating-compound-interest-on-your-career) - [Cyber Sleuth: Finding Hidden Connections in Cyber Data](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/893-cyber-sleuth-finding-hidden-connections-in-cyber-data) - [The Data Mesh as the end of the Datalake as we know it](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/156-the-data-mesh-as-the-end-of-the-datalake-as-we-know-it) ## Related Articles - [From developer to manager – what does it take to become an engineering manager?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/42-from-developer-to-manager-what-does-it-take-to-become-an-engineering-manager) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [Should Tech Managers Be Developers First?
