• Serve as the primary point of contact for clients throughout the implementation phase, providing strategic guidance, pre/post deployment support, and issue resolution.
• Travel up to 30% to client sites for project kickoffs, on-site support, and stakeholder engagements.

• Develop, refine, and implement standardized processes and best practices to improve efficiency and consistency in execution.
• Leverage data and analytics to identify trends and drive continuous improvements in implementation performance.
• Ensure all implementation activities comply with relevant regulations, industry standards, and company policies.
• Conduct quality checks and audits to maintain high standards of service delivery.
• Build and manage an effective highly skilled team by recruiting, training and coaching employees, communicating job expectations and goals, succession planning, and appraising their performance.
• Provide strong leadership, motivating, mentoring, building trust and developing team members for maximum performance aligned to ABM core values in a distributed and remote working environment.
• Provide project priority direction and task delegation for the team and ensure deadlines are met and on budget in a complex dynamic environment.
• Monitor performance, provide ongoing feedback, and foster professional growth within the team.
• Coordinate resource allocation and scheduling to ensure project deadlines are met.

• Bachelor’s degree in business, technology, project management, or a related field (Master’s preferred).
