Implementation Manager

Overview

We’re seeking a Client-Facing Implementation Manager to lead the onboarding and implementation of the HR Acuity suite of solutions for our external clients. This role is part of our Professional Services team and is focused on delivering a seamless, high-impact experience for external clients. The ideal candidate has a strong background in SaaS implementation, excels at managing multiple client engagements, and is comfortable working with senior HR, Legal, and IT stakeholders.

This role is intended for external-facing implementation professionals, not implementation project managers focused on internal systems or operations.

What This Role Is:

• An Implementation Leader that will drive the full client (external) implementation and adoption process—including kick-off meetings, workshops, and trainings
• A client-facing implementation specialist with expertise for a SaaS product
• A facilitator who can lead training sessions, presentations, and provide resources to empower users to maximize platform utilization

What This Role Isn't:

• A Technical Support Agent - An Implementation Manager may understand technical aspects of a solution, but they don’t provide ongoing troubleshooting or help desk support
• A Customer Success Manager - An Implementation Manager owns the implementation, not the management of the customers' account
• An an internal IT project manager or internal systems implementation role
• An Implementation Project Manager who focused solely on managing timelines and milestones — it requires leading client-facing activities like kickoff meetings, workshops, and training sessions.
