The plan, the customer relationship, the scope, the timeline, the outcome. You hand over to Customer Success once the customer is live.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em"></p><p style="min-height:1.5em">Your customers are Financial Controllers, Finance Directors and CFOs at fast-growing multinational SaaS and tech companies. Senior, technical, time-poor.

You'll work the problem, ship the answer, and move on to the next one.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em"></p><h2>Key Responsibilities</h2><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Own several concurrent implementations end to end, from kickoff to go-live</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Run the customer relationship through implementation — Controllers, Finance Directors, CFOs</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Translate finance requirements into platform design — chart of accounts, entity structure, consolidation logic, reporting</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Lead data migration — chart of accounts mapping, opening balances, historical data, cutover</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Hold scope through the project — keep delivery aligned to what was sold, surface and reset drift early</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Push back on requests that won't work, and bring the customer with you</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Spot projects going off-track before the cu
