This role is a remote role based in The United States. In this role, you’ll play a key role in driving the success of large-scale, high-visibility customer engagements within Professional Services by leading complex, multi-workstream implementations from contract signature through validated business outcomes. You’ll ensure solutions are delivered on time, within scope, and aligned to measurable impact by owning end-to-end engagement governance, aligning executive stakeholders, and orchestrating cross-functional execution across Sales, Customer Success, Solution Architecture, Product, and Engineering. This is a great opportunity for someone who thrives in fast-paced, evolving product environments and enjoys working cross-functionally with executive stakeholders, Field Delivery Engineering (FDE), Product, Engineering, and Customer Success teams. The ideal candidate brings strong skills in strategic project leadership, executive stakeholder alignment, and disciplined scope and financial management, along with the technical fluency needed to guide architectural discussions and proactively mitigate delivery risk.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent experience) and 10+ years of relevant experience.
• 7+ years managing enterprise-grade software or SaaS implementations within Professional Services or Technical Consulting.
• Proven track record managing multi-workstream engagements with complex stakeholder environments and contract values exceeding $500K+.
• Strong project governance, financial management, and executive stakeholder alignment capabilities.
• Technical fluency in APIs, data models, and enterprise integrations sufficient to guide architectural discussions and manage risk.
• Experience partnering cross-functionally with Product and Engineering teams.
• Exceptional communication skills for both technical and executive audiences.
• Ability to operate effectively in fast-paced, evolving product environments.
• Willingness to travel up to 10–15%.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end accountability for complex, multi-workstream customer engagements, including scope, timelines, budget, and risk management.
• Partner with executive stakeholders to define success criteria, governance structures, and outcome validation frameworks.
• Translate business objectives into structured delivery plans, work breakdown structures, and cross-functional execution models.
• Drive disciplined scope control, change management, and financial oversight across strategic engagements.
• Coordinate cross-functional teams including Solution Architecture, Customer Success, Product, and Engineering to ensure aligned delivery.
• Identify and proactively mitigate risks across technical, operational, and organizational dimensions.
• Ensure technical solutions are architecturally sound by partnering with technical teams, without serving as the primary engineer.
• Lead steering committees and executive status reviews, communicating progress, risks, and outcome alignment.
• Develop reusable playbooks, governance frameworks, and strategic delivery standards to elevate the broader Professional Services practice.
• Mentor Senior TPMs and contribute to leadership capability within the team.
