Implementation Manager
Atlanta, GA
Full Time
Experienced
About the Role
You will spend your days moving between client-facing meetings, internal standups, and hands-on problem solving with engineering and vendor partners (Q2, SoCure, Sardine, and similar platforms). We are searching for someone who is equally comfortable running a structured project plan and diving into a technical escalation to figure out what is actually going wrong.
What You Will Do
- Own a portfolio of concurrent FI client implementations, each with its own timeline, configuration requirements, and stakeholder group.
- Run client-facing implementation meetings, set and manage expectations on timelines, and keep projects on track against committed go-live dates.
- Translate client requirements into configuration and testing plans, working across data audits, funds flow, compliance setup, reconciliation, and UAT.
- Identify when a delay is a configuration issue versus a platform or vendor issue, and route it to the right owner quickly.
- Draft and send clear client communications, including status updates, delay notices, and go-live confirmations.
- Balance team workload across projects and flag capacity constraints to leadership before they become client-facing problems.
- Partner with engineering and the SDK team to scope, prioritize, and track fixes for implementation-blocking bugs.
- Work with Compliance and Risk on vendor scoping questions (for example, fraud decisioning or KYC vendor coverage for a given client tier).
- Coordinate with Client Ops and IT on environment setup, sandbox and production configuration, and ticket handoffs.
- Escalate vendor-side issues (KYC, fraud, banking rails) to the right partner contact and track resolution.
- Maintain and improve internal implementation playbooks, configuration guides, and templates.
- Keep the implementations wiki and reference materials current as processes evolve.
- Identify recurring bugs or gaps and turn them into process fixes rather than one-off workarounds.
What You Bring
- 7+ years of project management or implementation experience, ideally in fintech, payments, or a B2B SaaS environment with enterprise clients.
- Experience managing multiple concurrent client-facing projects with competing deadlines.
- Comfort working directly with engineering teams on technical issues, even without a coding background.
- Strong, clear written and verbal communication, especially when delivering a delay or a hard update to a client.
- Experience with financial institutions, banking, or cross-border payments is a strong plus.
- PMP or similar certification is a plus but not required.
What Success Looks Like
- First 90 days: You have a working knowledge of the active client portfolio, know the team and key cross-functional partners, and are running standups independently.
- First 6 months: Client go-lives are on track or you can clearly explain why not, and the team has a documented, repeatable escalation path for the most common technical blockers.
- Ongoing: Client relationships stay healthy through inevitable technical bumps because communication is proactive, not reactive.
