Technical Implementation Project Manager Jobs (NOW HIRING)

This is not a traditional Project Manager role focused on internal stakeholders, PMO governance, or back-office project tracking. This is a client-facing SaaS implementation and onboarding role responsible for guiding Intellum customers through complex technical implementations, platform launches, integrations, and customer-specific configuration projects.

The Implementation Project Manager (IPM) plays a key role in delivering efficient and effective services experiences for new and existing Intellum clients. Responsible for directly managing end-to-end implementation projects and technical initiatives, the IPM ensures alignment between technical requirements and business goals while providing a structured, high-quality customer experience. This role requires strong project management capabilities, platform expertise, and the ability to collaborate across internal and customer teams to deliver measurable outcomes.

As a member of the Technical Project Management team within Professional Services, you will guide internal stakeholders and clients through complex implementation efforts, proactively identifying risks, resolving issues, and providing clear technical guidance throughout the project lifecycle. You will partner closely with cross-functional teams, including Sales, Customer Success, Product, Engineering, Support, and Education, to ensure clients are positioned for long-term adoption and success. This role reports to the Director of Technical Project Management.
