About this role
About Self Bill Pro:

About the Role: $100,000 - $135,000, dependent on experience
The Manager of Implementations is a high-impact position responsible for leading the Implementation Manager team. This role is accountable for the end-to-end delivery of client onboarding, from requirements gathering and EDI data mapping through testing, deployment, and transition to ongoing support. Internally, this leader will build, coach, and scale a high-performing team of Implementation Managers while driving consistency, on-time delivery, and operational excellence.
Reporting to the Director of Operations, this is where hands-on implementation ownership sits. The role sets escalation and quality standards for complex integration challenges while staying close enough to the work to review data mappings and unblock at-risk projects.
The ideal candidate combines strong people leadership, deep EDI and benefits administration fluency, and the project management discipline to keep a high volume of concurrent implementations on track.
This is a remote position.
