• Own the Jira-based delivery schedules, project scope, technical build requirements, and timelines for individual customer implementations.

• Manage 2–3 concurrent implementation projects using Agile methodologies, coordinating daily activities across engineering teams, solution architects, Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs), QA specialists, and analysts.

• Facilitate daily stand-up meetings to identify blockers, dependencies, delivery risks, and potential timeline delays.

• Establish and maintain structured processes for tracking risks, assumptions, issues, and dependencies (RAID).

• Ensure technical and operational issues are identified, escalated, and resolved efficiently.

• Develop standardized development and operational task workflows to make customer implementations more consistent and repeatable.

• Maintain clear and accessible process documentation in Confluence.

• Provide Implementation Managers with transparent visibility into project milestones, delivery timelines, technical dependencies, and issues requiring customer involvement.

• Serve as the central coordination point between technical teams, ensuring effective communication and minimizing unnecessary handoffs.

• Partner with Product and Engineering leadership on additional operational improvement initiatives based on business priorities and individual expertise.

• Contribute to engineering metrics reporting, bug management, dashboard development, and release notes process improvements.

• Support Jira workflow standardization and recommend relevant tools or integrations to improve delivery management.

• Explore AI-powered automation solutions to streamline recurring technical setup activities and improve team productivity.

• Continuously improve implementation processes to reduce delivery risks, increase efficiency, and enhance customer implementation outcomes.
