About the Role:

As an Implementation Specialist, you will lead customers through onboarding, data migration, implementation, and training for small to mid-sized firms. You'll act as a trusted partner during the implementation phase, supporting customers as they adopt Karbon and ensuring they achieve rapid time-to-value and long-term success on the Karbon platform.

As an Implementation Specialist, you will...

• Own the customer implementation journey: Manage end-to-end implementation projects for small to mid-sized accounts, building and maintaining project plans, tracking milestones, and ensuring deliverables are completed on time, escalating complexity as needed.
• Communicate across multiple stakeholders: Partner primarily with firm administrators and key users to align priorities, clarify responsibilities, and maintain momentum throughout the implementation.
• Facilitate structured onboarding: Lead kickoff meetings, configuration sessions, and training sessions using established frameworks and playbooks, adapting delivery to customer needs.
• Provide professional guidance: Guide customers on Karbon best practices for workflow setup and day-to-day usage, helping firms establish efficient and repeatable processes.
• Coach through change management: Help customers prepare their teams for new processes, reinforce adoption, and address common questions or resistance during implementation.
• Ensure data integrity: Support customers in importing contacts and work items, leveraging Excel and other tools to ensure accuracy and completeness.
• Identify and mitigate risks: Monitor project progress and flag potential delays or adoption challenges early, escalating risks to senior team members when appropriate.
• Collaborate internally: Partner with Sales, Customer Success, Product, and Support teams to ensure seamless customer handoffs and capture valuable feedback.
• Deliver measurable value: Help customers achieve early wins and milestones that demonstrate value and set the foundation for long-term success with Karbon.
• Use AI in day-to-day implementation work, including ChatGPT licenses and AI-driven workflow automations, to support project planning, customer communications, and process optimization.

The range provided is broad and takes into consideration a wide range of factors that are reviewed when making a hiring decision, such as physical location/cost of living in that location, years of experience, skills, and other business needs.

It is not typical for a candidate to be hired at or near the top of the pay range and each compensation decision is dependent on each individual case.
