• Champion experimentation, rapid prototyping, and continuous improvement, driving adoption of AI-powered tools across the team
• Own delivery of data conversion activities across a portfolio of customer implementations, tracking KPIs for quality, productivity, and customer satisfaction
• Support complex, strategic, and at-risk customer engagements, serving as an escalation point for migration challenges and solution design

What We’re Looking For

• 2+ years of leadership experience managing technical, consulting, implementation, or data-focused teams
• Demonstrated success leading organizational change or transformation initiatives
• Strong coaching, mentoring, and people development skills
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to navigate ambiguity and make decisions in evolving environments
• Experience with AI, automation, machine learning, generative AI, or digital transformation initiatives
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience, plus 5+ years working in data conversion or analysis roles

Bonus points if you also have:

• A background in data migration, data integration, implementation services, SaaS, or professional services organizations
• Experience building and scaling operational processes
• Familiarity with change management frameworks and evaluating emerging technologies

• Experience evaluating and implementing emerging technologies

Talent shows up in a lot of different ways, and we mean that. We welcome candidates from all backgrounds and experience levels, including military members and their spouses and those without a traditional degree or tech background. If this role speaks to you, apply.

How We’ll Support You

We invest in the whole person, not just the role. Our benefits and resources are built to support your health, your time, and your life outside of work:

• Medical, Dental, and Vision Coverage 
• Holiday and Vacation Time 
• Health & Wellness Days 
• A Bonus Day for Your Birthday
