About Us Logistics is broken. Let’s fix it. We are a team of engineers, product designers, and customer champions applying the most transformative technology of our times, AI, to one of the largest industries in the world: the supply chain. Our mission is to streamline B2B distribution, freight brokerage, carrier management, and 3PL operations through automation, freeing teams to focus on high-value strategic work. We are looking for implementation experts with deep expertise in B2B distribution, freight, logistics, and technology implementation to help scale our impact. If you're excited about managing a high-performing team and optimizing customer workflows with AI-driven solutions, we want to hear from you. Overview As an Implementation Manager at Augment, you will serve as both a leader and an individual contributor, directly owning end-to-end customer onboarding while simultaneously coaching and developing a team of Customer Success Representatives (CSRs). Your objective will be to manage workflow go-lives through meticulous project planning and technical implementation—driving adoption, improving product satisfaction, and collaborating directly with B2B distribution organizations (e.g., distributors, wholesalers, and manufacturers) to integrate AI-driven automation into their operational workflows. What You’ll Do Biased for action; be proactive about scoping, executing, and coordinating all implementation activities with external and internal stakeholders with minimal oversight.

Oversee customer go-live and hypercare processes, ensuring fast response times and effective issue resolution.

Monitor client performance and engagement, proactively address adoption gaps, and identify opportunities to increase value realization. Standardize training and best practices to help CSRs enhance customer onboarding and ongoing support. Act as an escalation point for customer concerns, working cross-functionally with engineering and product teams to resolve challenges and unblock delivery. Analyze customer data and feedback to improve AI-driven automation and identify process improvement opportunities across implementation and ongoing success motions. Collaborate with the Customer Success Leader (CSL) to align execution strategies and ensure smooth communication across teams.
