Implementation Manager

About Us

At AssistIQ we are dedicated to creating a more efficient and transparent healthcare supply chain by fixing one of the core problems - providers lack accurate data and insights on their supply and implant usage. Our AI-driven software solution provides highly accurate, seamless capture of supply and implant usage in real-time, and generates actionable insights to healthcare systems, enabling better revenue capture and reduced waste, ultimately leading to better value of care and better outcomes for patients.


About the Role

In the role of Implementation Manager, you'll deploy AssistIQ's software across various surgical suites and procedural areas in hospitals across North America. You will generate learning and leverage best practices, supporting the development of a scalable implementation model that serves our customers.

Your ultimate goal is to make it easy for our customers to adopt and implement our solution.

We're excited by candidates who enjoy and are capable of working in a fast-paced entrepreneurial environment. To be successful, you will be adept at juggling responsibilities in parallel, including anticipating and identifying operational risks and mitigations, striking a balance between product and customer priorities while building strong customer relationships.


We would expect you to comfortably move between clinical teams (e.g. nurses, physicians) and administrative stakeholders (e.g. finance, procurement). Teamwork, professionalism, confidentiality, project management, understanding of software products and communication are essential.

Given the nature of startup life, the role of the Implementation Manager is dynamic with priorities evolving regularly.

Responsibilities

• Plan and execute product implementation at customer locations from discovery to live deployment, including but not limited to:
• Building and maintaining positive relationships with product end users and communicating effectively with key stakeholders including on-site clinical teams, IT, managers, supply chain/logistics and administration.

• Identifying product gaps, customer, and internal risks to product implementation.
• Partnering with the internal Product team to outline customer needs.
• Completing on-site training for end users and ensuring end user acceptance.

• Be the "boots on the ground" to drive product improvements and expansion opportunities:
• Partner with the product team to improve product post go-live by gathering and delivering product feedback to the product team and understanding the strategic impact of any requested / required features.

Requirements

• Led software and/or hardware implementations, ideally in healthcare IT (OR and supply chain a bonus but not a requirement) for multiple end user types with various training requirements and strategies. Experience in Surgical ORs or procedure rooms is an asset but not required.
