A growing SaaS company is seeking a Director of Technical Implementation to lead client onboarding, implementation, integrations, and go-live execution. This is a high-impact, hands-on leadership role for someone who can own the full implementation process, improve delivery standards, troubleshoot complex implementation issues, and help clients achieve successful go-live outcomes.

What You’ll Do

• Lead the full client implementation process from kickoff through go-live

• Manage timelines, scope, deliverables, client expectations, and launch readiness

• Oversee technical implementations involving APIs, third-party systems, data workflows, configuration, and customer-specific requirements

• Troubleshoot implementation issues and help determine whether blockers are related to integrations, data quality, customer readiness, product gaps, or internal process

• Build and improve onboarding, training, documentation, implementation playbooks, SOPs, and enablement processes

• Lead, coach, and develop a small implementation team with clear expectations and accountability

• Serve as the escalation point for complex customer implementations and technical delivery issues

• Partner with Product, Engineering, Sales, Customer Success, Support, and Operations to improve handoffs and reduce implementation friction

• Track and report key metrics such as time-to-go-live, project health, risk flags, capacity, implementation success, CSAT, and scope variance

• Identify opportunities to use AI, automation, dashboards, and workflow tools to improve implementation efficiency and reporting

What We’re Looking For

• 7+ years of experience in software implementation, technical implementation, onboarding, Professional Services, solutions delivery, or similar client delivery roles

• 3+ years of leadership or team management experience

• Strong experience leading complex SaaS or software implementations with multiple stakeholders, technical dependencies, integrations, and customer-specific workflows

• Hands-on understanding of APIs, third-party integrations, data workflows, system configuration, UAT, troubleshooting, and go-live readiness

• Ability to speak confidently with technical teams, ask the right questions, diagnose blockers, and translate technical issues into clear action plans

• Experience improving implementation processes, metrics, reporting, team performance, and customer time-to-value

• Strong analytical mindset with experience using dashboards, KPIs, project reporting, and capacity planning to improve implementation outcomes

• Comfortable being hands-on with the team, joining customer escalations, inspecting project health, and helping create structure in a fast-moving environment

• Strong client-facing communication and problem-solving skills

• Comfort using AI, automation, or technology tools to improve implementation workflows

• Bachelor’s degree preferred, or equivalent professional experience

Preferred Experience

• Experience with financial, operational, inventory, AP, procurement, POS, accounting, payments, ERP, or back-office platforms

• Experience with API-driven products or platforms that integrate with customer systems and third-party applications

• Experience with HubSpot, GUIDEcx, Jira, Salesforce, Monday.com, Smartsheet, Asana, or other implementation tracking tools

• Background in solutions architecture, technical project management, implementation engineering, technical consulting, or systems implementation is a plus

• Experience in restaurant technology, hospitality technology, retail technology, or similar complex SaaS platforms is a plus

Location / Work Environment

• DFW candidates are strongly preferred

• Hybrid schedule with an expectation of being onsite approximately 4 days per week

What’s Offered

• Competitive base salary with potential performance-based variable compensation

• Medical, dental, and vision benefits

• 401(k) with company match
