  • Continuously evolve the delivery playbook into a scalable digital framework that reduces time-to-live and increases repeatability.
  • 3. Customer Implementation Leadership

  • Serve as the operational bridge between customer goals and technical execution.
  • Drive alignment between Solution Architects, Data Engineers, and Developers to ensure seamless handoffs and milestone tracking.
  • Anticipate and resolve blockers before they impact timelines.
  • 4. People and Process Leadership

  • Build, coach, and manage a team of Implementation Managers capable of handling concurrent enterprise projects.
  • Foster a delivery culture grounded in ownership, precision, and accountability.

  • Define key performance indicators (on-time delivery rate, escalation count, time-to-resolution, customer satisfaction).
  • Support executive leadership in quarterly business reviews and product strategy sessions .
  • 6. Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Work closely with Product, Sales, and Customer Success to ensure alignment on customer commitments.
