About Flagright Flagright is an AI operating system for financial crime compliance used globally by Fortune 500 companies, large banks, fintechs, and fast growing startups. Flagright enables real-time risk detection, automated investigations, and intelligent decisioning, helping compliance teams operate at their full potential in the fight against financial crime. We operate as a lean, high-performance team with high individual ownership and direct access to leadership. Role overview Our Implementation team owns the success of every Flagright deployment, from first onboarding through long-term growth. As our enterprise customers grow larger and their implementations more complex, we are hiring Implementation Managers to own the execution of our hardest projects and go-lives. You will run complex, enterprise implementations end to end: the project plan, the engineering coordination, the data migration, the cutover, and the post go-live stabilization. You will work alongside our Customer Success Managers, who own the customer relationship; you own the delivery. You take the heaviest, highest-stakes execution and get enterprise customers live cleanly, on time, and with no surprises. This is a high-ownership role in a fast-moving environment. You will be expected to operate independently, manage multiple complex projects at once, and proactively drive outcomes with minimal supervision. People who thrive at Flagright Have been knocked down before and gotten back up Are resourceful, they figure things out with whatever tools are available Have strong opinions and can defend them Are hungry to learn & contribute Want to work with no-BS people People who struggle here Need extensive hand-holding View high expectations as “unreasonable” Expect strict 9 to 6 boundaries Can't handle ambiguity or rejection Prefer consistent routine over fast-changing priorities Key responsibilities Complex Project Delivery: Own the execution of complex, enterprise implementations end to end. Run the project plan, the critical path, the workstream coordination, and the risk log, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks. Discovery & Solution Design: Work with the customer to understand their environment, use cases, and compliance requirements, and translate them into a clear implementation plan and configuration that meets their needs. Integration & Onboarding: Guide customers through technical integration with the Flagright platform, including API integration, data migration, backfills, and validation, and ensure their setup is production-ready. Project Management: Run the project end to end: build and maintain the project plan, own the critical path and timeline, coordinate workstreams across the customer, engineering, and product, track dependencies and risks, and keep the delivery on schedule. Stakeholder Management: Map and manage the stakeholders on both sides of a delivery, from the customer's project sponsors and technical teams to internal engineering and product. Keep everyone aligned, set clear expectations, and drive decisions across groups with competing priorities. Go-Live Execution: Plan and run dry runs and cutovers. Take a launch from “the configuration is ready” to “it works in production for this customer.” Training & Enablement: Train customer teams on the platform and produce the documentation and runbooks that let them operate confidently and independently after launch. Hypercare & Stabilization: Stay engaged through the post go-live period, resolving issues quickly and ensuring the deployment is stable before transitioning the customer into ongoing operations. Risk & Issue Management: Identify risks early, manage issues to resolution, and elevate proactively so problems are surfaced and solved before they affect the customer. Who we are looking for Based on or willing to relocate to the Bay Area (H1B visa sponsorship available), this is a fully in-person role at our Santa Clara office 3-5 years of experience in delivery, implementation, or technical project management, ideally for a B2B software product sold to enterprise customers. A track record of personally owning complex deliveries from kickoff to a live, stable production state. Strong project management skills: building and owning a project plan, holding a critical path, sequencing work, tracking risks and dependencies, and driving a multi-stakeholder project to completion without letting things drift. Strong stakeholder management skills: aligning customer and internal stakeholders with competing priorities, setting and holding expectations, and driving decisions across groups. Technical fluency. You do not need to write production code, but you are comfortable with APIs, data, and integrations, and can hold a credible technical conversation with both engineers and customers. Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English are essential for effective customer interactions. Demonstrated ability to work independently, take ownership of tasks, and meet deadlines consistently. Travel flexibility for customer meetings or team gatherings, as needed. Preferred Skills Understanding of anti-fraud, anti-money laundering, or compliance domains. Previous experience implementing software for banks or large, regulated financial institutions. Exposure to cloud data and event-driven systems, such as AWS, streaming pipelines, or columnar stores. Hands-on comfort with SQL or scripting to validate data during a migration or backfill. Understanding of financial data security and privacy regulations, such as GDPR or PCI-DSS.
