Specright serves customers across industries, including packaging, food and beverage, consumer packaged goods, pharmaceutical, retail, industrials, and more.

Specright is looking to hire an R&D Workbench Implementation Consultant – Onboarding within our Professional Services team. This is a domain-first, delivery-focused role: you will own end-to-end onboarding for Enterprise and Mid-Market customers while also carrying a broader implementation workload: collecting requirements, designing solutions, and onboarding Specright clients onto the R&D Workbench platform across the customer lifecycle.

You have a food & beverage, CPG, or regulatory background to run configuration workshops with food scientists and R&D teams. You are comfortable leading customer engagements solo, estimating effort accurately, and producing repeatable artifacts that make fixed-fee engagements possible. You will collaborate cross-functionally with Sales, Customer Success, Product Management, and Engineering.

• Own end-to-end delivery of Enterprise and Mid-Market onboardings — kickoff, project management, configuration workshops, training, and hypercare execution.

• Lead domain-specific configuration workshops including formula worksheets, product categories, claims libraries, and allergen rules with customer R&D and regulatory teams.

• Act as first-line scoper on new onboarding deals: produce effort estimates using Specright's scoping rubric and flag non-standard requirements to leadership.

• Document hours and outcomes per engagement to support development of repeatable, fixed-fee onboarding packages.

• Collect customer requirements and develop solution designs, user stories, and acceptance criteria inclusive of configuration, custom development, and data migration.

• Work with the Solution Data Architect to define scope and deliverables for successful implementations across varying business sizes, including enterprise.

• Consult and guide customers on best practices to support business transformation and process optimization as part of a Specright implementation.

• Assist with data imports, quality checks, and verification of client data.

• Perform quality assessments against requirements and acceptance criteria throughout delivery.

• Work one-on-one with clients across industries including food & beverage, packaging, consumer goods, beauty & cosmetics, wine & spirits, automotive, and chemicals.

• Contribute to scoping templates, configuration playbooks, and onboarding documentation to build repeatable delivery assets.

• 3+ years of technical or domain experience in food & beverage R&D, regulatory affairs, or a closely related CPG/manufacturing function — sufficient to run formula and specification design sessions with food scientists.

• Hands-on experience with Genesis, ENTR, Flavor Studio, or a comparable product development / specification platform strongly preferred.

• Experience delivering SaaS implementations including scoping, requirements documentation, configuration, and go-live.

• Experience developing Requirements Documentation, data mapping, process flow diagrams, and data models.

• Comfortable running customer workshops solo and producing scope documents and effort estimates independently.

• Industry experience in Food & Beverage, Packaging, Consumer Goods, or Supply Chain highly preferred.

• admin experience preferred.

• Ability to present to C-level executives and cross-functional leadership.

• Experience with SaaS hybrid or agile implementation methodology.

• Customer-oriented with a demonstrated ability to build strong client and project team relationships.

• Ability to communicate in business terms with customers and technical terms with implementation teams.

• Fast learner, team player, can-do attitude —…
