This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing technology business where you'll be responsible for turning new client projects into fully operational, revenue-generating sites.

Your role is to bring everything together—turning client requirements into a clear delivery plan and ensuring every project reaches a successful conclusion.

Key Responsibilities

• Take ownership of the end-to-end onboarding and implementation of new customer sites.
• Conduct client discovery sessions and desktop site assessments to understand operational requirements and identify the most effective implementation approach.

• Identify opportunities to improve implementation processes and contribute to wider business projects, including estate migrations and compliance initiatives.

About You

You'll enjoy solving problems, working with a variety of stakeholders and taking ownership of projects from start to finish.

We're looking for someone who has:

• At least three years' experience in implementation, onboarding, project management or client delivery.
• Experience delivering technology solutions with a physical element, such as payments, EPOS, access control, EV charging, telematics or similar.
• The ability to translate customer requirements into practical, deliverable solutions.
• Excellent organisational skills, with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
• Confidence coordinating contractors, suppliers and internal teams.
• Good technical awareness and the ability to understand technical concepts and challenge where appropriate.
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills with clients and colleagues at all levels.
• A proactive, resourceful approach with the confidence to ask questions, solve problems and drive projects forward.

Experience within the parking industry is not required—full training will be provided.

What's on Offer

• Competitive salary and benefits package.
• Hybrid working with two days per week in the Croydon office.
