Join our team and what we'll accomplish together

Every benefits program we implement starts with a team that turns client goals into working technology. As Implementation Manager, you'll lead a team of implementation consultants and analysts delivering client projects across the US and Canada, partnering closely with the Project Manager and Service Delivery team.

• Build strong relationships across multiple clients, defining success criteria that support a positive, long-term partnership.
• Spot risks to client satisfaction early and build a plan to address them before they grow.
• Track scope closely: identify change control requests, keep Service Delivery informed of scope changes, and keep the Technical Design Document current as requirements evolve.
• Understand the benefits administration landscape well enough to guide clients on how technology supports their business, troubleshoot basic processing issues, and know when to bring in help for complex ones.
• Know when a client needs to hear a difficult message, and deliver it in a way that protects the relationship.
• Champion product improvements by submitting enhancement requests and issues on time and identifying changes that create real value for clients.
• Make sure every implementation hand-off includes complete, up-to-date documentation.
