### Your Mission:

As our Implementation Manager, you own the critical first chapter of every customer's journey — from signed contract to confident, value-realizing user.. Your success is measured not by training completion, but by whether customers reach their first meaningful outcome: a survey captured, data visualized, a workflow embedded in their operations.

You will be directly responsible for helping customers—whether they’re in construction, mining, aggregate, or landfill industries—reach measurable project outcomes through Propeller's technology — faster time-to-value, stronger early adoption, and a foundation built for long-term growth. You will partner with CSMs to ensure every customer arrives at handoff having achieved a meaningful first outcome — not just having been trained.  

### Key Responsibilities

Customer Time to Value:

-   Lead new customer onboarding after a deal has been closed. Before kickoff, align with Sales and the CSM on customer goals/desired business outcomes — and ensure they’re documented as the foundation for the account plan.
-   Coordinate with the CSM to plan the initial meeting with the customer and sales (kickoff call).
-   Train customers on platform workflows, tools, collecting data, drone hardware, and best practices.
-   Support or instruct on-site drone training as needed during the implementation phase in collaboration with the CSM.
-   Guide customers through their initial setup, the Propeller portal, associated hardware, and organizational expectations to align with their team’s workflows.
-   Instruct customers on data collection best practices with LiDAR to support their active and future projects.
-   Connect data visualization and reporting directly to the customer's project goals — so they leave each session with an insight they can act on, not just a feature they've seen.

Implementation & Technical Setup:

-   Develop and solidify customer workflows to match project requirements and best practices.
-   Use AI tools to personalize and scale onboarding without sacrificing quality.
-   Support technical setup, data imports, and integrations as needed to ensure smooth adoption.
-   Proactively identify and resolve implementation blockers before they delay time-to-value.
-   Maintain expert-level knowledge of the platform to provide guidance, answer technical questions, and recommend best practices.
-   Define and track implementation milestones tied to customer outcomes — not just task completion — and flag at-risk accounts early.

Customer Success Enablement:

-   Own the customer's implementation health — proactively identifying risk signals (low engagement, missed milestones, unclear use case) and course-correcting before handoff.
-   Monitor early usage and engagement to identify and act upon potential blockers or opportunities for additional support.
-   Hand off to the CSM with a documented baseline: goals confirmed, first outcomes achieved, expansion signals identified, and risk flags clearly noted.
-   Gather and communicate customer feedback to improve the onboarding processes, training materials, and product features.

Process Improvement & Documentation:

-   Create and maintain onboarding materials, guides, and playbooks for customers and internal teams.
-   Use AI tools to scale content creation, documentation, and personalized training resources without adding operational overhead.
-   Continuously refine onboarding processes to ensure a consistent, scalable, and high-impact customer experience.
-   Collaborate cross-functionally with Sales, Marketing, Product, and Support teams to enhance overall customer experience.

## Requirements

-   Domain Expertise: 3+ years of experience in a customer-facing technical role (Onboarding, CS, or Tech Support) specifically within construction technology, surveying, GIS, or a closely related technical field.
-   Technical Aptitude: Proven ability to master complex software platforms quickly and independently, with the technical literacy to build out accurate, high-quality customer setups and documentation.
-   Training & Delivery: Demonstrated experience leading technical training sessions where success is measured by customer behavior change and outcome achievement — not session completion.
-   Adaptability & Pace: Comfort thriving in a fast-paced, rapidly evolving environment where onboarding processes change quickly and require immediate adaptation.
-   Outcome Ownership: Demonstrated ability to define and track customer success metrics during implementation, with measurable impact on first-year adoption — time-to-value, active usage, and expansion readiness.

Preferred Skills:

-   Industry & Technical Expertise: Hands-on experience in construction, mining, aggregates, or civil engineering, with direct familiarity utilizing SaaS/enterprise software, geospatial tools, survey data, or drone-based mapping workflows.
-   CRM & Process Discipline: Proven track record of managing a high-volume book of business with strict CRM system hygiene, ensuring all data, tracking, and implementation milestones are accurately maintained.
