Implementation Manager

ABOUT the company

The company is building a modern, all-in-one software platform for equipment dealers and rental businesses. The equipment dealer and rental market is a key part of the multi-trillion dollar construction, agriculture, and logistics industries, and is currently underserved by antiquated incumbent software solutions (most of which were founded in the 1980s and 1990s). Our vision is to connect everyone who is selling, buying, renting, servicing, or utilizing equipment, starting with a new system-of-record for equipment rental businesses that will help our customers create efficiency in the back office and generate more revenue in the front office.

We’re a small team of energetic, dedicated, and passionate individuals. We value team members who can not only roll up their sleeves to do hands-on work, but also think clearly and creatively about the big picture. At the company, you’ll find significant room for career growth, fostered by a meritocratic culture that prioritizes individual and team development.

This is the type of role where you’ll consistently have to do the job of someone two levels above you (e.g., meet with a CEO of a large business) and two levels below you (e.g., respond to customer support tickets). This role rewards do-ers.

• You’ll lead cross-functional efforts, building project roadmaps, getting alignment from different parties, and working through roadblocks as they come up, owning the end-to-end implementation of a given initiative.

• You’ll pinch hit where necessary, filling in critical gaps to ensure the business can run smoothly.

• You’ll identify consistent pain points and develop and iterate on processes to help the company solve issues over time.

• You’ll communicate across teams, bridging different parts of the organization to achieve cross-functional outcomes.

• You’ll deepen client engagements through strategic interactions, serving as an advisor and advocate for key stakeholders, driving advocacy, organic growth, and referrals.

WHAT YOU NEED

• Either 8+ total years of experience working at a top equipment rental company (e.g., United, Sunbelt, Herc, Cat Rental Stores, top speciality rental companies etc.) or 4+ total years managing complex software deployments

• You have an incredibly high execution bar and will see projects through from conception to tactical completion to move the company forward.

• You consider people, and you love solving complex, ambiguous, cross-functional problems in a people-centric way.

• You’re both high ownership and low ego, approaching everything with strong outcome orientation and high humility.

• You’re genuinely curious and creative, wanting to dive deep into a variety of operational processes and systems problems and wanting to think critically to define optimal solutions.

• You’re observant and anticipate cross-functional issues/needs and potential solutions before the the rest of the company notices.

• You’re tactical and don’t only sit at a 30,000 foot level.
