    About the team:

    The Implementation team is responsible for the onboarding of all our Premium and Pro customers on the TravelPerk platform, and providing recommendations to optimize the client experience. We guide new customers from signup to launch, providing consultative, administrative, technical, and educational support to maximize the client's experience with the TravelPerk platform.

    About the role:

    As a Senior Implementation Specialist (Sr IS), you are a platform expert who gets to know your clients' needs, and provide proactive recommendations and support to them throughout their onboarding by flexing your strong change management skills. In this role you'll use your platform expertise and stakeholder management skills to build a bridge between platform capabilities and client expectations.

    By producing a solid rollout plan that accurately covers the scope of the specific client's needs, including immediate travel and a long term success, you'll take a visible position of ownership and expertise throughout the global Implementation and Revenue teams.

    You will ensure that new clients are fully prepared to use TravelPerk to book their business travel, by executing platform configuration, providing technical support and troubleshooting, and user readiness. This includes configuring client accounts to their specifications & requirements, providing proactive support on any integrations, as well as coordinating and executing tailored training sessions with key client stakeholders.

    The Sr IS role requires strong project and change management skills and excellent problem-solving skills. This role requires keen attention to detail, confidence to solve challenging situations or client requirements, and proactivity in making recommendations. You are never a passenger - you are the driver throughout a client's onboarding experience and must be confident in driving the execution of implementation, steering clients to use best practice recommendations, and dealing with strong personalities. You'll work across multiple teams in a collaborative environment both internally & externally, manage key internal and external stakeholders, and drive successful client rollouts to enable long-term success.

    • Taking full ownership of timeline, rollout plan, and handling of the account while the account is in implementation, including directing work through the internal team supporting clients.
    • Coordinating & conducting training sessions for newly onboarded customers, including executive-level stakeholders and company-wide training.
    • Providing technical support to clients as they set up integrations to marketplace partners or custom-built API solutions.
    • Validating client configuration & account satisfaction by monitoring client booking behavior post-implementation & proactively offering support or recommendations.
    • Collaborating with multiple different departments in the TK organization, including within the Revenue organization (Sales and Account Management), Product, Builders (Engineering), and Finance.
    • Analyzing completed implementation work to find ways to improve your own process & that of the team.
    • Embracing a pattern of execute, assess, improve, repeat & evolving as the team & organization evolves.
    What will you need to succeed:
    • A customer-first mentality; you'll focus on ensuring a smooth onboarding for your clients and must understand what they need to be a happy customer for the long term.
    • Proven track record of successfully managing and delivering complex projects in a fast-paced environment, including defining scope and managing changing requirements or priorities but maintaining the trajectory of the project.
    • Demonstrated ability to work with C-level stakeholders to define their requirements and or concerns in a clear, concise, and professional manner.
    • Ability to develop relationships with all levels of the organization, both internally and externally, and adapt communication & approach accordingly.
    • A thoughtful consultative approach to making recommendations to both clients & internal stakeholders.
    • Willingness to seek out ways to improve & a mindset of continuous improvement.
    • Excited by challenges and have a personal drive to make a difference.

    How we work

    Our Vision is for a world where TravelPerk serves as the platform for human connection in-real-life (IRL). We take an IRL-first approach to work, where our team works together in-person 3 days a week. As such, this role requires you to be based within commuting distance of our Boston or Chicago hub. We fundamentally believe in the value of meeting in-real-life to improve connectivity, productivity, creativity and ultimately making us a great place to work.

    At TravelPerk, we prioritize experience and potential over academic qualifications for this role. We believe that talent and ability aren't always reflected in formal credentials

    TravelPerk is a global company with a diverse customer base-and we want to ensure the people behind our product reflect that. We're an equal opportunity employer, meaning you're welcome at TravelPerk regardless of your appearance, where you're from, or anything else that makes you.
