Implementation Manager

As an Implementation Manager at haku , you’ll lead new clients through the onboarding, configuration, and adoption of our SaaS platform. This is not a traditional IT or internal project management role — it’s a customer-facing, B2B SaaS implementation role where success means ensuring our clients launch smoothly, adopt quickly, and see measurable value from day one.

You’ll partner closely with clients, Sales, Product, and Customer Experience to deliver implementations that balance speed, quality, and long-term client success. The ideal candidate has led SaaS implementations before, understands the nuances of configuring software for diverse customers, and thrives in a fast-growing, high-change environment.
