As an Implementation Specialist, you’ll be the bridge between our customers and our technology teams ensuring that each customer’s onboarding and system integration experience is seamless, strategic, and aligned with their business goals.

You’ll manage the end-to-end implementation process for new and expanding customers across Cordance’s portfolio companies, working closely with product, support, and success teams to ensure successful launches with measurable outcomes.

This is a hands-on role ideal for someone who enjoys translating business needs into action, solving complex onboarding challenges, and helping customers reach value quickly.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the full onboarding lifecycle — from requirements gathering to post-launch review — ensuring timelines, milestones, and deliverables are met.

• Partner with customers to identify use cases, workflows, and success criteria that guide system configuration and setup.

• Manage data imports, integrations, and custom configurations to ensure systems align with customer needs.

• Collaborate with internal product, engineering, and support teams to troubleshoot issues and optimize implementation processes.

• Identify recurring onboarding challenges and propose scalable, repeatable solutions to improve efficiency and quality.

• Track and report implementation metrics, customer satisfaction, and launch readiness across projects.

• Be a voice of the customer in internal discussions, influencing roadmap priorities and process improvements.

Competencies:

• Customer-Centric Execution: Drives implementations with a focus on customer outcomes and time-to-value. Anticipates needs, resolves blockers early, and builds trusted relationships through consistent communication and follow-through.
• Project Ownership and Delivery: Manages multiple customer implementations end-to-end with precision. Balances scope, schedule, and quality while maintaining accountability for milestones and customer satisfaction.
• Technical and Analytical Agility: Understands product functionality, integration workflows, and data mapping. Uses data and analytics to troubleshoot issues, optimize configurations, and inform improvement opportunities.
• AI Literacy: Understands AI basics and validates AI-generated technical steps or best practices. Uses AI for basic troubleshooting assistance, ensuring accuracy before advising customers.
• Systems and Process Thinking: Sees implementations as part of a connected ecosystem — linking product, data, and customer workflows. Identifies dependencies and designs scalable solutions that improve repeatability and quality.
• Collaboration and Influence: Partners effectively with Product, Engineering, and Customer Success to align goals and ensure seamless handoffs. Communicates context and rationale to drive clarity and shared ownership.
• Communication and Professionalism: Translates complex technical information into clear, actionable guidance for both customers and internal teams. Maintains proactive, transparent communication throughout the implementation lifecycle.
• Adaptability and Continuous Improvement: Embraces change and experimentation in processes, tools, and product evolution. Continuously seeks ways to increase efficiency, shorten time-to-value, and enhance the customer experience.

Required Qualifications

• 2–5 years of experience in implementation, onboarding, or customer success roles — preferably in a SaaS or technology environment.

• Strong project management skills with the ability to manage multiple customer implementations simultaneously.

• Familiarity with integration concepts, APIs, and SaaS platforms (Salesforce, HubSpot, NetSuite, etc.).

• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills — both with customers and internal stakeholders.

• High attention to detail and a process-driven mindset.

• Comfort working in fast-paced, evolving environments with distributed teams.

• Experience collaborating cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, and Customer Success to streamline delivery.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience leading complex SaaS or enterprise software implementations with measurable customer impact.

• Experienced in managing end-to-end data migration and API integration projects across CRM, ERP, and workflow systems (e.g., Salesforce, HubSpot, NetSuite), including data mapping, transformation, and validation processes.

• Skilled in using project management tools (e.g. Asana, Jira, Monday.com) to track milestones and deliverables.

• Proven ability to translate technical requirements into clear business outcomes for non-technical stakeholders.

• Background in process optimization, automation, or creating scalable onboarding frameworks.
