Responsibilities
Lead end-to-end implementation projects from contract signature through successful go-live, managing project plans, milestones, risks, and dependencies across all workstreams
Ensure implementations are delivered on time, within scope, and aligned to customer success criteria—with clear accountability for school-year launch deadlines
Partner with Product Engineers on SIS data integrations (PowerSchool, Infinite Campus, Synergy, etc.), Clever/ClassLink rostering, SFTP feeds, SSO configuration, and platform setup
Translate district technical environments and constraints into clear implementation plans. Serve as the technical point of coordination between Edia and district IT teams
Receive structured handoffs from Sales (SOW, technical requirements, district champion introduction) and manage a clean transition to the CSM at go-live (adoption metrics, training completion, configuration documentation)
Coordinate across Product, Engineering, Support, and CS to remove blockers and drive progress. Own the internal status cadence for active implementations
Understand district goals, procurement timelines, and operational realities to tailor implementation approaches. Guide customers through rollout best practices and early adoption
Proactively identify risks to adoption or value realization and drive mitigation plans before they become blockers
We’re scaling from a handful of concurrent implementations to 3–4x that volume in 2026. You’ll design the playbooks, tooling, templates, and success metrics to make that possible
Provide input into when deeper technical engagement (e.g., Forward Deployed Engineer support) is required. Help define the long-term shape of the implementation team as we grow
