  • 4+ years in implementation, solutions engineering, or customer onboarding roles
  • Fluent in one product stack (Salesforce, HubSpot, Workday, or equivalent SaaS platform)
  • Comfortable with project management tools (Asana, Jira, Monday) and basic data hygiene (spreadsheets, simple SQL queries a plus)
  • Experience writing and running checklists, runbooks, and training documentation for non-technical audiences
  • Strong communication: ability to translate between technical jargon and business outcomes in real time
  • Track record of delivering 8+ implementations per year on time and within scope
