• Identify and execute opportunities to shift implementation tasks to strategic global locations
• Work closely with product and engineering to build internal tools that enable faster, more effective deployments

• Create systems to monitor customer usage, adoption, and ongoing solution health
• Design training and onboarding materials that upskill team members and improve consistency across deployments
• Drive experimentation with GenAI (e.g., GPTs, agents) to reduce manual work across implementation and support workflows

• 6+ years of experience in enterprise software delivery, post-sales operations, or scaled customer implementation, preferably in a data-intensive SaaS environment
• Proven ability to design operational systems that deliver measurable efficiency and margin improvements
• Experience leading cross-functional programs involving engineering, product, and customer teams
