## About the Role

* You have strong project management instincts: able to manage key accounts and co-ordinate between key stakeholders, both technical and non-technical.
 * You have 5+ years of experience and have built up enough scar tissue to know which technical decisions matter.
 * US Citizenship will be a big plus to facilitate exciting growth plans.

## Description

Our Engineers are forward deployed focused, working closely with clients. You'll sit at the front line of our key accounts, embedded with clients. You will be running the rollout, and building tools tailored for the client. You won't be handed a ticket and told to stay in your lane. You'll own the relationship and the technical delivery, end to end.

We work in person five days a week from our sunny office in Farringdon, plus time onsite with clients. We believe being together helps us move faster and solve problems more effectively and it's also more fun!

We're looking for someone who wants to be the person a client trusts to make Scope work for them and is technical enough to solve real problems on the spot.

What you'll do

 * Own our key accounts through the pipeline: from technical scoping, through to implementation ensuring a smooth process for the client that's live and happy.
 * Spend time with inspectors in factories and chemical plants. Understand how they work and tailor solutions for them.
 * Run the project plan for each rollout: timelines, blockers, who needs what and by when.
 * Configure and build the technical pieces a rollout needs including workflows, integrations, data structures
 * Build trust with technical and non-technical stakeholders alike.
