Implementation Manager

• We’re hiring an Implementation Manager to own standard customer engagements from pre-sales solutioning through a successful go-live
• As part of Forward Deployed Engineering, you’ll be the customer-facing owner of the plan, the work, and the outcome—translating real distributor workflows into an implementation that delivers value quickly and sticks
• Implementation here means more than a handoff after a deal closes
• You’ll help Sales shape a workable solution before signature, define scope and success criteria, lead the project through configuration, integrations, data, testing, training, and go-live, then leave the customer set up to run on Proton
• You’ll act as the engagement lead for standard implementations: equally comfortable driving details, aligning senior stakeholders, and surfacing what needs to change
• You’ll partner with Engineering and Engagement Managers when scope, technical risk, or stakeholder complexity exceeds the standard path
• This role is designed as a growth path into an Engagement Manager role driving complex customer engagements
• Partner in pre-sales solutioning. Join discovery and solution-design conversations, turn requirements into clear scopes and phased plans, surface dependencies and risks early, and make sure what is sold can be implemented well
• Lead the delivery plan. Take each project from signed agreement through go-live: kickoff, project plan, configuration, integrations, data readiness, testing, training, and cutover. Keep every workstream moving and every owner clear
• Run stakeholder governance and risk. Establish the right cadence with customer champions, technical teams, and executives.

  Enjoy in-person brainstorming and team-building. All expenses covered so you can focus on bonding with the entire team.

Pre-sales judgment. You can turn ambiguous customer needs into an implementable plan, distinguish a requirement from a nice-to-have, surface constraints without creating friction, and protect the path to value

Data-driven and adaptive thinking. You use project and customer data to decide what needs attention, while staying flexible as details change

Customer-facing range. You’re as comfortable in a warehouse aisle with an operations team as you are running a meeting with senior stakeholders. You’d rather understand the work firsthand than manage by secondhand notes
