The Opportunity
As a Project and Client Success Manager, you will be responsible for managing implementations of Embark, our Employee Experience platform, which is delivered as a Software as a Service offering. You will be responsible for managing the life cycle of the implementation by managing project team members, ensuring deadlines and budgets are met, quality standards are upheld, and project success criteria are achieved. The ability to effectively communicate with the client, as well as internal team members, is critical to success in this role.

Upon project completion you become the clients primary contact for questions related to the technology, facilitate periodic strategic business reviews, probe on upcoming challenges that are coming for the client, and identify new ways that your client can gain more value from their Employee Experience software. You will also manage a group of clients throughout the life of their contract (typically 3 to 5 years) to ensure that your clients are using the software to meet their employee experience needs. By partnering with Lead Relationship Managers and all of our Employee Experience advisory services and other lines of business, you’ll find new ways to utilize our software to solve our clients’ challenges.
