This role includes international travel (approximately 15 to 30%) for on-site implementations typically 2 to 4 trips per year ranging from 5 to 14 days.
Why This Role Stands Out
Own implementations end-to-end from kickoff through go-live and beyond
Work hands-on inside the product not just managing timelines
Partner with clients solving real operational challenges (not just software questions)
Gain exposure to complex workflows: accommodation transportation rostering logistics
Collaborate closely with engineering on integrations and system behavior
Join a lean high-impact team with real ownership and autonomy
Build a strong foundation for growth into senior implementation customer success or operational leadership roles

Support user acceptance testing (UAT) for client deployments and prepare clients for go-live
Deliver training sessions to client teams across different functions
Manage ongoing client relationships (including upsells) check-ins and system enhancements
Troubleshoot issues determining whether they are configuration data or system-related
Diagnose whether a client issue is a bug a misconfiguration a data problem or intended system behavior for that clients setup
Navigate scope and timeline trade-offs when engineering capacity is shared across multiple active implementations
Recognize when client frustration stems from a training gap vs. a product gap vs. a delivery gap and address the right one
During quieter periods youll improve training materials refine implementation processes and contribute to internal playbooks and documentation.
