The VP directly leads two directors whose functions are mutually dependent: the Director of PS Operations (process, workforce, and enablement) and the Director of Delivery (client execution and revenue). The VP is responsible for ensuring these two functions operate in tight coordination and that the organization as a whole delivers consistent, excellent results for clients.

• Provides constructive and timely performance input to evaluations.
• Manages the conversion team.
• Serve as the executive sponsor for the company's most strategic client relationships during and after implementation.
• Intervene personally on critical escalations, acting as the highest point of resolution within PS.
• Champion a customer-first culture in which delivery teams are empowered and accountable for client success.
• Partner with Sales and Account Management to ensure PS is positioned as a strategic differentiator in the sales process.

What You’ll Need To Join Our Team

• Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Technology or related field or equivalent work experience.

• Demonstrated success leading and scaling a PS organization at a software or SaaS company.
• Proven track record of building and developing high-performing leadership teams.
• Strong executive presence with the ability to influence at the C-suite level, both internally and with customers.
• Deep understanding of software implementation lifecycle, delivery methodologies, and PS operating models.
• Experience managing a hybrid or matrixed organizational structure.
