About the Client Integration Lead - Implementations position:

The Client Integration Lead plays a critical role in guiding clients through Avalon’s Lab Benefit Management (LBM) implementation journey, serving as the primary point of contact and trusted advisor from project initiation through successful implementation. This role focuses on building strong, collaborative relationships with client stakeholders, ensuring they remain informed, aligned, and supported throughout the implementation journey while delivering a seamless integration experience.

Acting as the central liaison between clients and Avalon's internal Technical Implementation and Quality Assurance teams, the Client Integration Lead facilitates the resolution of technical questions and complex integration requirements. The role collaborates closely with the Technical Integration Lead (TIL) and QA subject matter experts to evaluate solutions, communicate recommendations, and ensure clients receive accurate, timely, and actionable guidance. By serving as the single, consistent voice for the client while drawing on the deep expertise of internal partners, the Client Integration Lead bridges the gap between client needs and technical execution — ensuring nothing gets lost in translation and every stakeholder stays aligned throughout the process.

This role requires strong client relationship management, proactive expectation setting, and the ability to drive implementation efforts through effective collaboration with clients and cross-functional stakeholders while maintaining project timelines and delivering high-quality outcomes.

This position is eligible for remote work, but quarterly travel will be required to Avalon’s corporate office located in Tampa, Florida.
