About the Role
We are looking for a Senior Implementation Manager to own how our new product lands with customers. You will be the difference between a product that gets sold and a product that actually goes live, gets used, and stays used. You will work closely with the CEO and CCO in your first few months to learn our new product end-to-end, learn our customers, and learn the way we implement at Suvera. From there, your job is to make implementation a repeatable engine, not a heroic act. Three things matter most: Delivery, Stakeholders, and Process. This role reports to the CEO.
Responsibilities
- Own project management end-to-end
- Run every implementation against a clear plan with milestones, owners and dates that survive contact with reality
- Drive multiple implementations in parallel without dropping the ball on any of them
- Hold the line on scope, timeline and quality. Say no when you need to, and explain why
- Spot risk early and escalate it cleanly - to the customer, to the team, and to me
- Run weekly project rhythms internally and externally so nobody is ever guessing where we are
- Lead stakeholder management
- Be the person the customer trusts to tell them the truth, not the person who tells them what they want to hear
- Build relationships with practice managers, partners, clinical leads and operational teams that outlast any single project
- Manage senior stakeholders without losing the room on the day-to-day
- Push back, respectfully, when expectations don't match what the product can do today. Educate, don't just absorb
- Be the single point of contact who can credibly speak for product, care and engineering
- Be the product expert in the room
- Know our new product better than the customer
- Sit close to product and engineering so what you learn on the ground feeds back into what we build
- Translate clinical and operational complexity into product requirements the team can actually act on
- Defend the product when the customer is wrong about it. Change it when they're right
- Coach customers on the use cases that matter. Stop the ones that don't before they become custom work
- Design and iterate the implementation process
- Build the playbook for how we implement. Templates, checklists, sequencing, ownership - none of it should live in your head
- Treat every implementation as an experiment. What worked, what didn't, what we change next time
- Bring structure without adding process for its own sake
- Build the muscle to measure implementation - time to go-live, time to first value, adoption at 30/60/90 days - and use those numbers to improve, not to decorate slides
- Set the foundation so the next implementation manager we hire is productive in weeks, not months
Requirements
- 5+ years running implementations of B2B or B2B2C software, ideally in healthcare, healthtech or another regulated industry
- A track record of getting complex software live with non-technical customers, on time and in scope
- Outstanding stakeholder management
- The ability to influence without authority
- The ability to push back without damaging the relationship
- A bias toward writing things down
- Operational rigour
- The judgement to know when to follow the process and when to break it
- Excitement about in-office collaboration at 3 days a week
- Treats this as personal, not just professional
- Exposure to clinical practice, especially through nursing experience, would distinguish candidates
- Direct experience implementing software into UK primary care, NHS trusts, ICBs, PCNs or community pharmacy
- A history of being a first or early implementation hire
- Experience as a point of escalation for less experienced colleagues, or coaching and managing other implementation managers
- Exposure to clinical workflows, EHRs or care operations
