This is a high-impact leadership role responsible for driving seamless onboarding, accelerating time-to-value, and ensuring customers realize meaningful outcomes quickly.

In this role, you will oversee both implementation and technical configuration teams, setting the standard for consistent, high-quality delivery at scale. You will play a critical role in shaping the customer journey, improving operational performance, and enabling long-term customer success.

Join a forward-thinking organization that is scaling quickly and committed to delivering impactful technology, exceptional customer experiences, and continuous innovation.

What You’ll Do
  • Inspire, coach, and develop a team of Implementation Specialists and Technical Experts, fostering a culture of accountability, ownership, and results.
  • Define clear roles, responsibilities, and capacity models to ensure scalability and efficiency.
  • Drive performance against key KPIs through ongoing feedback, coaching, and structured performance management.
  • Champion a culture of urgency, innovation, and proactive problem-solving.
  • Ensure seamless execution of onboarding—from kickoff through go-live and handoff to Customer Success.
Own Implementation Delivery & Operational Excellence
  • Lead the end-to-end implementation lifecycle, ensuring on-time, high-quality delivery within scope.
  • Drive critical business outcomes, including:
  • Accelerated revenue activation
  • High % of implementations completed within 30 days
  • Strong CSAT performance
  • Establish and scale best-in-class project management practices using tools like Smartsheet, Asana, or similar platforms.
  • Deliver accurate go-live forecasting to support revenue recognition and strategic planning.
Drive Process Innovation & Scale
  • Identify bottlenecks across the onboarding journey and implement scalable, data-driven solutions.
  • Lead initiatives to reduce time-to-value through automation, process optimization, and enhanced engagement models.
  • Partner cross-functionally with Product & Engineering to influence enhancements that improve onboarding efficiency.
  • Continuously evolve onboarding playbooks, delivery frameworks, and customer engagement strategies.
Deliver Exceptional Customer Outcomes
  • Ensure a consistent, high-quality onboarding experience aligned with customer goals and business outcomes.
  • Monitor customer feedback and CSAT trends, proactively implementing improvements.
  • Act as a senior escalation point for complex or at-risk implementations.
  • Ensure customers are fully prepared for go-live through training, workflow validation, and system readiness.
Collaborate Across the Business
  • Partner closely with Sales to ensure a seamless handoff and clear alignment on scope and expectations.
  • Work alongside Customer Success to drive smooth transitions and long-term customer adoption.
  • Collaborate with Support and Engineering to resolve challenges and improve product usability.
  • Provide leadership with clear, actionable insights on performance, risks, and opportunities.
Leverage Data & Insights
  • Track and report on key metrics such as cycle time, CSAT, utilization, and forecast accuracy.
  • Use data to inform strategic decisions, optimize team performance, and improve delivery outcomes.
  • Maintain clear visibility into project health, risks, and timelines across the implementation portfolio.
What You Bring
  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Healthcare Administration, Information Systems, or a related field required.
  • 3–5+ years of experience leading Implementation, Onboarding, or Professional Services teams in a B2B SaaS environment.
  • 3–5+ years of hands‑on experience driving successful customer implementations, with a strong understanding of the end-to-end onboarding lifecycle.
  • Healthcare technology experience strongly preferred, with familiarity in regulated or clinical environments a plus.
  • Proven success delivering scalable SaaS implementations while improving time-to-value, operational efficiency, and customer satisfaction (CSAT).
  • Experience working with project management tools such as Smartsheet, Monday.com, or Asana.
  • Proficiency with CRM platforms like Salesforce or HubSpot.
  • Strong analytical mindset with the ability to translate data into actionable insights and drive informed decision‑making.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead process improvement, automation, and scalability initiatives in a fast‑paced environment.

We offer a competitive compensation package designed to attract, reward, and retain top talent. This includes a market‑aligned base salary, performance‑based incentives, and opportunities for career growth within a rapidly scaling organization.

Our comprehensive benefits package supports both your professional and personal well‑being, including medical, dental, and vision coverage, retirement savings options, and paid time off.
