Join our team and what we'll accomplish together

Every benefits program we implement starts with a team that turns client goals into working technology. As Implementation Manager, you'll lead a team of implementation consultants and analysts delivering client projects across the US and Canada, partnering closely with the Project Manager and Service Delivery team. You'll set the pace, the priorities, and the standard for quality, and you'll be the one who spots the process improvement that makes the next implementation run smoother for everyone.

We embrace diversity of backgrounds, experiences, and thought. If you need an accommodation during the recruitment process, let us know and we'll work with you.

What you'll do

• Lead the delivery of high-quality implementations and ongoing production support for client projects.
• Give day-to-day direction to a team of implementation consultants and analysts, building a high-performing team through coaching, performance management, and talent development.
• Plan schedules, allocate team resources based on project demand, and send a weekly internal status that keeps the team aligned and expectations clear.
• Build strong relationships across multiple clients, defining success criteria that support a positive, long-term partnership.
• Spot risks to client satisfaction early and build a plan to address them before they grow.
• Track scope closely: identify change control requests, keep Service Delivery informed of scope changes, and keep the Technical Design Document current as requirements evolve.
• Understand the benefits administration landscape well enough to guide clients on how technology supports their business, troubleshoot basic processing issues, and know when to bring in help for complex ones.
• Know when a client needs to hear a difficult message, and deliver it in a way that protects the relationship.
• Champion product improvements by submitting enhancement requests and issues on time and identifying changes that create real value for clients.
• Make sure every implementation hand-off includes complete, up-to-date documentation.
