Lead Implementation Engineer

About the Role

As an Implementation Engineer, you will be responsible for setting clients up for long-term success on Clutch products by managing the implementation process for our Customers. As one of our technical post-sale consultants, you will drive the design, configuration, and delivery of Clutch’s platform.

This role is a good fit for people with strong communication skills and a technical background who are experts at communicating and empathizing with both internal and external stakeholders.

About the Team

Our Professional Services team is a fast-paced team that implements Clutch's platform for our Credit Union customers. We gather requirements, build out the platform to their specifications, work with them to test and ensure it works as intended, and then get them live so they can realize value. We’re a team with a bias for Customer Success - our top metric isn’t getting customers live, it’s ensuring their success through renewal and expansion.

Professional Services team members should have high agency, a consultative approach to client implementations, a strong technical foundation, and be proactive communicators to ensure internal teams remain aligned.

Our company is rapidly growing, and so is our team. We’re looking for individuals who want to help us evolve as a team as we strive for a world-class delivery motion.
