The Senior Manager, Implementation is a builder-operator role. In the near term, you will provide hands-on frontline leadership to our Implementation Manager team — Supporting complex customer questions, owning capacity, assignment logic, project-plan rigor, and delivery quality across a fast-growing portfolio of customers.

Why this job is exciting

• People management. Provide day-to-day frontline management, coaching, and development for the IM team, fostering a high-accountability, customer-obsessed delivery culture.

• Capacity management. Maintain real-time visibility into team capacity and utilization, and balance load across IMs as the portfolio grows.

• Assignment logic. Own the logic and process for matching IMs to projects based on scope, complexity, account profile, and capacity — informed by Solutions Engineering scoping at handoff.

• Project-plan rigor. Ensure consistent, high-quality project plans, milestone tracking, and status reporting across every engagement, with clear internal and customer alignment.

• Delivery quality. Define and uphold standards for implementation execution, escalation handling, and on-time, on-scope delivery.

• Delivery methodology. Establish the repeatable delivery methodology, templates, and playbooks (SOW templates, estimation models, change-order process, acceptance criteria) that make services scalable and predictable.

• Internal stakeholders. Drive alignment across Sales, Customer Success, Product, and the broader Solutions Engineering org so that delivery commitments are realistic and well-supported.

• Design partners and strategic accounts. Partner closely on Syndio’s most strategic engagements, ensuring white-glove delivery where it matters most.

• Process and tooling. Establish the operational systems (trackers, capacity models, reporting) that give leadership clear visibility into delivery health and services performance.

About you

• 7+ years in professional services, implementation, or delivery leadership within a B2B SaaS or enterprise software company, including direct people management is required.
