About the Opportunity
A fast-growing enterprise planning technology company is seeking a Professional Services Manager to take ownership of complex customer implementations from initial scoping through successful delivery.
This is not a traditional project management position. You’ll combine EPM implementation expertise, FP&A knowledge, client leadership, and project delivery, working directly with customers before and after deals are signed.
You’ll own projects end-to-end, partner with Sales during the pre-sales process, oversee both internal and partner-led implementations, and act as a trusted advisor to senior Finance stakeholders throughout their transformation journey.
Key Responsibilities
Implementation & Project Delivery

- Identify potential delivery risks early and implement appropriate mitigation strategies

- Scope prospective implementation projects and estimate delivery effort
- Develop and present Statements of Work (SOWs) directly to customers
- Establish clear expectations around scope, timelines, resources, and delivery before contracts are signed
- Critically evaluate project scope and identify potential delivery risks before implementation begins
Client & Stakeholder Management
- Act as a trusted advisor to senior Finance and business stakeholders
- Advise customers on process and organizational changes required to maximize value from their planning platform
- Facilitate discussions across technical and business stakeholders
- Coordinate with Sales, Product, Support, Customer Success, and implementation partners to provide a consistent client experience
Delivery Excellence & Innovation
- Develop strong enough platform knowledge to help unblock teams on product and FP&A-related questions
- Help evolve implementation methodologies, templates, sprint structures, and design practices
- Explore and deploy AI capabilities to accelerate implementation delivery and improve the customer experience
- Mentor junior delivery professionals and partner-side consultants
- Help establish and maintain delivery standards across the wider Professional Services organization
