Position Overview
The POS Project Manager is a hands-on, customer-facing role that goes beyond traditional project management by actively overseeing and supporting the installation, configuration, and deployment of POS and payment solutions. Serving as the primary point of contact throughout the implementation lifecycle, this individual coordinates project timelines, manages cross-functional teams, and works directly with merchants to ensure a seamless onboarding and successful go-live.
The ideal candidate combines strong project coordination skills with technical knowledge of POS systems and payment processing. They are comfortable managing multiple implementations while assisting with system configuration, hardware staging, installations, merchant training, troubleshooting, and ensuring a smooth transition to ongoing support.
Duties and Responsibilities

• Participate in testing and validation of database configurations (database review) prior to go-live, ensuring alignment with client expectations and operational readiness.
• Perform end-to-end hardware and software imaging and staging to ensure proper configuration, testing, and readiness for deployment
• Execute remote and on-site installations ensuring all POS technologies (e.g., terminals, printers, payment peripherals) are configured with merchant-specific settings. Validate site installation readiness using connectivity tests and checklist audits prior to installation and in alignment with merchant go-live targets. Coordinate with logistics and field service teams to align installations.
• Troubleshoot and resolve software, hardware, and network configuration issues throughout implementation and post-deployment phases.
• Train and assist merchant staff during go-live, offering real-time troubleshooting, operational guidance, and best practices for POS usage.
• Ensure a smooth handoff from implementation to ongoing support. Monitor and resolve post-deployment issues during live transition including database configurations, technical blockers, and training.
