Job description

Location: [Remote / Hybrid / Must be located in Boston/Burlington MA area.] Team: Deployment & Implementation

Our client believes student success is everyone’s business. Their platform connects students, universities, and campus resources in one unified digital experience—because when students are engaged, they stay.

We’re looking for a Deployment Manager to lead their team of five deployment specialists who onboard universities onto our platform. This isn’t a technical role—but it is a highly organized, people-centered one. You’ll orchestrate multiple moving pieces, keep everyone (including customers) on track, and ensure every implementation runs smoothly from kickoff to launch.

What You’ll Do

• Lead, coach, and develop a team of five Deployment Specialists responsible for university onboarding.
• Oversee multiple concurrent deployment projects, ensuring deadlines, deliverables, and quality standards are consistently met.
• Act as the point person for internal stakeholders, helping to prioritize resources and remove roadblocks.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Customer Success, and Sales to ensure a seamless client experience.
• Track project progress and metrics, using data to improve efficiency and consistency.
• Standardize best practices, refine processes, and drive continuous improvement across the deployment function.
• Build trusted relationships with university partners and ensure their onboarding experience sets them up for long-term success.

What You Bring

• 5+ years of experience in project or program management, preferably in SaaS, EdTech, or higher education.
• 2+ years of people management experience with a knack for mentoring and motivating teams.
• Strong organizational and communication skills—you’re the person who keeps everyone calm, informed, and on schedule.
• Proven ability to manage complex, multi-stakeholder projects with grace and accountability.
• Comfort working in a fast-paced, evolving environment where no two days look quite the same.
• (Bonus) Familiarity with the higher ed landscape or experience working with universities.

Salary is 110k-120
