You'll collaborate with Engineering and Product to translate requirements into actionable plans, ensuring go-lives on time and building long-term customer health and satisfaction.

Qualifications

• 6+ years hands-on experience in a customer-facing implementation role at a B2B SaaS company.
• Ability to solve complex technical and business problems and communicate requirements effectively with both technical teams and non-technical customer stakeholders.
• Understanding of data ETL, migration tasks, and software/web technologies including SQL, RESTful APIs, and OAuth.
• Excellent project management skills, including expertise in planning and risk management across multiple simultaneous projects.
• Familiarity with waterfall and agile (Scrum) methodologies.

• Excellent communication skills and comfortable presenting to and influencing both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Analytical approach to requirements gathering and ability to stay structured and thorough in understanding customer needs.
• Curiosity and a problem-solving mindset — this is the most important behavioural trait; must actively seek out information and solutions rather than waiting to be directed.

Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end implementations for large-scale enterprise customers with complex organizational structures, multi-entity requirements, and high volumes of matters and spend, ensuring they go live on time and in line with expectations.
• Act as the customer's trusted guide throughout implementation, building confidence with legal operations leaders, general counsel, and technical stakeholders at every stage.
• Oversee multiple enterprise implementations simultaneously, managing priorities, risks, and escalations against project timelines and plans.

• Configure the Brightflag platform to meet enterprise scale and complexity, including approval workflows, billing guidelines, reporting structures, and security needs.
• Develop and own the data migration strategy for large, complex datasets, coordinating with internal resources for accurate and timely execution.
• Collaborate with Product and Engineering on feature requests and integrations across enterprise tech stacks, including matter management, ERP, and SSO systems.
• Work with the assigned Customer Success Manager to define success for each implementation and set the foundation for a strong long-term relationship.
• Ensure enterprise needs are fully met during implementation and positioned for continued growth, adoption, and satisfaction.
