These consist of 1 Senior Implementation Consult, and 2 more junior Implementation Consultants. As previously mentioned, there will be elements of travel involved in this role however this is a remote first role, with the only requirement to be in office about once a quarter.

This position can be split into three key areas; people management (as above), Project Management and delivery and lastly, strategy. This role will have strong elements of Project Management and you will need to ensure projects are appropriately planned and managed to ensure on time and on budget completion.
