About the team

The Client Commerce Platform is the client's first software-as-a-service business unit. It offers a suite of products and services across online ordering, branded mobile apps, loyalty solutions, and more, enabling merchants (restaurants, grocers, retailers, etc.) to reach customers through their own first-party channels.

Our newly launched Commerce Platform Merchant Experience pod focuses on ensuring merchants have a seamless experience when transitioning from their current tech stack to our Client Commerce Platform products, providing ongoing specialized support for merchants' tech needs. Within this pod, the Platform Implementation Manager (PIM) Team was created to help our merchants onboard, implement, and grow their business from day one. The team supports our merchants after they sign up, through their first weeks live, and delivers top-tier service and support.

About the Role

The Platform Implementation Manager is responsible for providing a best-in-class onboarding experience for our SMB merchants into our Client Commerce Platform products. The PIM acts as the merchants' "quarterback," troubleshooting, coordinating with various internal and external stakeholders, and ensuring merchants have a smooth transition from their current digital ordering solution to ours.

On a day-to-day basis, this means:

• Working closely with the sales and account management teams to set up merchants for success from day one.
• Setting up kickoff calls and project managing the implementation of online ordering, mobile apps, loyalty, and gift card programs for our merchants.
• Coordinating with several internal teams to ensure merchants are using our products as soon as they sign up.
• Technical troubleshooting of issues (within merchants' websites and internally).
• Educating our merchants on our products: answering "how to" questions, proactively guiding and educating them through the transition and setup process, and providing operational support during the initial weeks of product usage.
• Collecting and registering feedback from merchants on our products.

You will report to the Associate Manager, Strategy & Operations, and work within our Commerce Platform organization. This primarily remote role is close to one of our corporate hubs for easy co-working and collaboration across the team on occasion.
