Client-Facing Implementations Lead

Billables Incorporated; San Francisco (CA); Hybrid; USD 120,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

Billables AI is seeking an Implementations Manager in San Francisco to own the journey from signed deal to go-live, coordinating kickoff, configuration, and onboarding across practice management partners. The role emphasizes cross-functional alignment between the firm, software partners, and our team.

You will guide multi-project deployments, maintain clear scope, and drive adoption with attorneys and staff while learning our platform, integrations, and playbooks.

Qualifications

• 2 to 4 years in implementations, onboarding, project management, or client services, ideally in legal tech or a similarly complex B2B environment.
• Strong project management instincts over deep technical skill. You keep multiple concurrent deployments moving and catch small issues before they compound.
• An investigation instinct: you run basic diagnostics and scope issues clearly before escalating.
• Comfort navigating law firm culture and leading change with attorneys and staff — you bring people along with patience and credibility.
• Client-facing polish, inside and out. You communicate clearly with external customers and internal teams alike, adjust tone by audience, and treat every audience as a customer.
• Assertive process ownership. You develop opinions about how implementations should run, voice them, and work with stakeholders across teams to align on the right path.
• Readiness for hands-on, in-person training to get up to speed. Expect real facetime early on as you learn the platform, the integrations, and how we work.
• Genuine enthusiasm for AI tools and a track record of finding smarter ways to work

Responsibilities

• Own new customer implementations end to end: kickoff, configuration, training, and go-live
• Coordinate stakeholders across the firm, the billing platform partner, firm IT, and our internal support and engineering teams
• Learn and run the distinct implementation playbook for each billing platform, including Centerbase, Litify, and SurePoint
• Triage and diagnose issues before looping in engineering, arriving with a clear, well-scoped problem
• Lead change management with the firm: be the face of a workflow change to law firm customers, and drive adoption, not just configuration
• Track dozens of small open items across concurrent implementations using systems, not memory
• Develop strong opinions about how implementations should run, and manage cross-functional stakeholders to set and align expectations.
• Feed what you learn in the field back into the playbook, product, and the sales handoff process
