You will define best practices, build playbooks, and ensure our deployment processes scale as Planhat grows.

Key Responsibilities:

• Act as a technical architect in complex deployments: integrate with customer data systems, build automations, and ensure robust data flows
• Lead process improvements to reduce deployment time, optimize resource utilization, and boost customer satisfaction
• Track and report on deployment metrics: team capacity, utilization, customer outcomes, deployment velocity
• Be a hands‑on leader: resolve escalations, train TDS team, and participate in high‑risk go‑lives

Qualifications:

• 8+ years leading and managing teams of at least 5‑10 people
• Technical expertise and experience: APIs, data architecture, integrations, automation
• Strong project management skills, able to run multiple large‑scale engagements in parallel
• Excellent communicator who can bridge business and technical stakeholders
• Strategic thinker but willing to roll up sleeves and get into operational details
• Experience in a high‑growth, cross‑functional startup or scale‑up environment

This is an on‑site role located in one of our commercial hubs: New York, Los Angeles or London.
