About the Team

Paradox is transforming how the world hires. As the creator of the first‑of‑its‑kind conversational recruiting platform, we empower organizations to fundamentally reimagine their talent acquisition process. Our AI assistant frees up recruiting teams to focus on human connection by automating high‑volume, repetitive tasks. This includes instantly scheduling interviews, screening for qualifications, and answering common candidate questions through simple, frictionless experiences across mobile, chat, and SMS.

About the Role

As a Functional Consultant, this role is responsible for delivering software implementation projects that range in scope and complexity, leading customer configurations from post‑sale through launch.

Responsibilities

• Provide consultation to customers, supporting all stages of new customer onboarding—including understanding their unique needs, challenges, and goals; guiding them on standards for using our solutions; solution design; user acceptance testing; and go‑live.
• In accordance with the project plan, deliver the contracted products and services, applying Paradox's implementation methodology to ensure consistency in the customer experience and expedite the time it takes for our customers to see value from our solutions.
• Collaborate with internal Paradox teams to deliver platform configurations and track progress toward timely completion of work.
• Complete configuration and testing for enterprise customers based on the requirements and design specifications.
• Work closely with Customer Success Managers/Directors to share knowledge and ensure a smooth transition into release and ongoing adoption.
• Contribute to large, complex implementation projects in collaboration with Implementation team members.
• Provide mentoring to team members and document processes for continuous improvement.
• Advocate for customers with our product teams, influence roadmap decisions, and suggest improvements in our customer onboarding process.

About You

Basic Qualifications

• 3‑4+ years of experience managing SaaS software implementation projects in a SaaS environment.
• Extensive knowledge of the HR technology industry, including HCM, HRIS, ATS and CRM platforms.
• Experience administering/implementing software systems for companies with 2,500+ employees.

• High attention to detail and strong conscientiousness in project delivery.

Our Approach to Flexible Work

With Flex Work, we’re combining the best of both worlds: in‑person time and remote. Our approach enables our teams to deepen connections, maintain a strong community, and do their best work. We know that flexibility can take shape in many ways, so rather than a number of required days in office each week, we simply spend at least half (50%) of our time each quarter in the office or in the field with our customers, prospects, and partners (depending on role). This means you'll have the freedom to create a flexible schedule that caters to your business, team, and personal needs, while being intentional to make the most of time spent together. Those in our remote “home office” roles also have the opportunity to come together in our offices for important moments that matter.
