Job description

Why Blee:

Blee is an AI-first marketing content compliance platform. PayPal, NerdWallet, and Brex already trust us. We're YC-backed, founded by an ex-Adobe marketing ops leader and former lawyer, and we're defining a category that didn't exist two years ago—across Fintech, Financial Services, CPG, Travel, and Life Sciences..

With offices in San Francisco and New York, we value in-person work but offer remote-opportunities for the right people. No matter where you join us, you can expect quarterly off-sites and opportunities to join other offices when you feel it’s important. You’ll be joining a team that values clarity, ownership, and shared responsibility—and is focused on building something that genuinely improves how teams work.

The Role

This is a Strategic Implementation Manager role for someone who thrives at the intersection of technical complexity and customer relationships. You will own end-to-end enterprise engagements from signed contract to platform go-live, working with legal and marketing teams at some of the world's largest organizations.

What You'll Do

• Own end-to-end enterprise implementations – From signed contract to platform go-live for legal and marketing teams

• Conduct stakeholder mapping – Identify executive sponsors, power users, blockers, and champions within each customer org

• Build and manage implementation project plans – Milestones, owners, and weekly status cadence

• Scope and sequence deployment – Determine rollout order across departments, geographies, and use cases

• Coordinate technical integration – SSO, data flow configuration, API setup, and security review with customer IT teams

• Navigate organizational dynamics – Manage competing priorities between stakeholders to unblock implementation milestones and maintain project momentum

• Create implementation-specific documentation – Configuration docs, initial training materials, and runbooks to support rollout

• Facilitate warm handoff to CSM – Full context transfer package as implementation completes

• Maintain the implementation playbook – Document repeatable patterns, common blockers, and solutions

• Collaborate cross-functionally – Partner with Customer Success Manager and Account Executive to deliver successful enterprise outcomes

Who You Are

• A natural project manager – you bring structure to ambiguity and keep complex workstreams on track

• Executive-ready; you're comfortable presenting to VPs, GCs, and C-level stakeholders

• Technically fluent – you can discuss SSO, APIs, data flows, and security with customer IT teams

• Detail-oriented and organized; stakeholder maps, Gantt charts, and RACI matrices are second nature

• Empathetic and customer-first; you build trust with every interaction

• Excited to define and own a critical function at a high-growth company

How We Work:

We have offices in New York and San Francisco and value in-person collaboration, but we're open to remote for the right person. Wherever you're based, expect bi-annual off-sites and the chance to spend time in our other offices when it matters.
