Requirements
Who You Are
You are the best implementation person on your current team. You have personally designed and delivered complex B2B SaaS implementations from end to end — not just modules, not just coordination — whole accounts. You can run a steering meeting with a VP and configure a workflow in the same afternoon. You develop the people around you because you know that's how the function scales.
You are:
- A hands-on operator who owns outcomes, not just status updates
- Someone who designs before configuring — you ask the right questions first
- Comfortable managing scope creep and pushing back on customers when it matters
- Calm under pressure — you surface risks before they become crises
- A structured developer of people — you know how to coach, not just direct
- Clear and confident in writing — your documentation is a team asset, not a box-ticking exercise
- Comfortable with US-based enterprise customers and late-hour working patterns (India timezone, US customer hours)
Requirements
Must-have:
- 4+ years in B2B SaaS implementation or solutions, ideally with enterprise or mid-market accounts
- Has independently owned and delivered complex B2B SaaS implementations end-to-end at the account level — not just individual modules
- Experience implementing software of comparable complexity — ideally in manufacturing, quality management, or similar process-heavy or regulated environments (either industry-specific or software-specific experience required)
- Can design workflows, manage multi-stakeholder delivery, and handle escalations without senior hand-holding
- Comfortable using low-code / no-code tools
- Produces clean written output — account summaries, handoff documentation, and implementation plans
- Comfortable with US-based enterprise customers and late-hour working patterns
Good to have:
- Experience mentoring or formally coaching junior implementation team members
- Has built and shipped reusable playbooks, templates, or checklists that a team actually adopted
- Exposure to regulated industries: manufacturing, life sciences, QMS, aerospace, automotive
- Experience running structured post-go-live or hypercare programmes
- Has pushed back on founders, senior stakeholders, or customers with evidence and maintained the relationship
Hard no's:
- Coordination-only profiles who lack technical depth in workflow design
- Candidates who delegate without personally owning delivery outcomes
- Pure domain specialists without delivery management capability
- Candidates who escalate routine decisions rather than making them
