The opportunity

The Implementation Manager is responsible for managing end-to-end client implementations, ensuring successful onboarding and product adoption. This role combines technical configuration expertise with strong client relationship management to deliver high-quality solutions that meet client needs while maintaining scalability and consistency. The Implementation Manager works cross-functionally to coordinate delivery efforts, resolve issues, and uphold documentation and quality standards throughout the implementation lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities

What you’ll do

You will be accountable for the full implementation lifecycle: onboarding planning, configuration, testing, troubleshooting, go-live, and post-launch quality checks—while maintaining scalability, consistency, and documentation quality across implementations.

Implementation delivery

Lead client implementations end-to-end: kickoff, onboarding plan, configuration, testing, go-live and launch follow-up.
Organise and run client working sessions (solution walkthroughs, testing sessions, progress updates) and keep stakeholders aligned on actions, timelines and dependencies.
Track requests, risks and issues, and ensure follow-up with the right internal teams to keep delivery moving.
Maintain clear project documentation (timelines, actions, outcomes) and ensure information is accurate, accessible, and aligned to documentation standards (clarity and traceability).
Handle clients change requests by scoping impact, assessing feasibility with internal teams, and managing delivery via agreed change control and timelines.

Solution configuration & quality assurance

Coordinate integration requirements and validation with client IT and internal technical colleagues (APIs, data feeds, webhooks / data mapping) — no coding required.
Support testing/UAT by setting up test steps, coordinating execution, documenting outcomes, and ensuring issues are logged and resolved before launch.
Troubleshoot implementation challenges across configuration, data and operational flows, escalating internally when needed.
Conduct final readiness checks and coordinate with relevant teams to confirm go-live readiness and minimise post-launch issues.

Cross team alignment

Coordinate with Sales, Product, and Client Management to align implementation plans with internal timelines and product capabilities.
Perform quality checks during and after launch, identify gaps, and drive improvements with relevant stakeholders.

Continuous improvement

Capture lessons learned and suggest improvements to templates, documentation, and implementation steps to increase consistency and speed.
Lead structured knowledge transfer by documenting key learnings and sharing implementation best practices within the team to support onboarding and continuous improvement.
Share structured product/process feedback to support improvements in product quality and documentation.

What success looks like (first 6–12 months)

Take ownership of a portfolio of international implementations and deliver stable go-lives.
Improve consistency of delivery through strong documentation standards, disciplined testing, and clear stakeholder follow-up.
Reduce recurring issues by identifying root causes and feeding improvements back into the team.

What you bring

Comfortable coordinating technical topics such as APIs, webhooks, data feeds and data mapping and translating technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders (no coding required).
