Implementation Engagement Manager

As a IEM you will be the primary point of contact for all technical things related to a given project. You will be responsible for a portfolio of projects. You are the leader that owns the overall success of the project(s) where you are the project owner. In the large enterprise segment you may team with a Large Enterprise Program Manager for overall engagement success. You will be responsible for stakeholder management (internal cross functional teams, customers, and partners), and project management (including project planning, estimations, identifying dependencies, risk management and mitigation, project governance ,drive steering committee meetings, and technical problem solving).

In addition to the 'post-sale' delivery of PS Projects, you may also participate in select opportunities in the pre-sales stage. Your role in pre-sales will be to work with an IA on opportunity scoping, effort estimate, SOW creation and Level of Effort (LOE). In this pre-sales activity, you may also be called upon to help sell the value of the PS engagement to the customer.
