• Measure and optimize metrics like implementation duration, time-to-value, and customer satisfaction.

• Collaborate cross-functionally: work closely with Sales, Product, and Engineering to ensure smooth handoffs and aligned priorities.

• Act as the customer’s advocate—anticipate their needs, resolve questions preemptively, and drive satisfaction.

• Proven experience overseeing customer implementations in a SaaS or fintech environment

• Must have experience working with credit union or banking core systems

• Strong customer empathy paired with operational rigor and process focus

• Excellent stakeholder and cross-functional collaboration skills

• Comfort working in fast-paced, ambiguous environments with an entrepreneurial spirit.
