Implementation Consultant - Americas

Implementation Consultant - AmericasHi! I’m Morgan, the Manager of Strategic Implementations here at Ashby. Our customers are at the center of everything we do, and that’s especially true during implementation. We take pride in being responsive, collaborative partners who focus not just on delivery, but on thoughtful execution.

I’m thrilled to be expanding our implementation motion by hiring an Implementation Consultant. As part of our growing Professional Services team within Ashby’s Customer Success organization, you’ll play a critical part in helping customers bridge the gap between potential and actual value.

About this role:As our Implementation Consultant, you will own execution of the technical configuration for a defined set of new Ashby customers. During these implementations, you will partner closely with an Implementation Specialist to confirm customer requirements before leading the tailored configuration of native platform functionality. As initial configuration concludes, you will define and carry out a testing plan ahead of go-live. You will also document final configuration choices made to ensure visibility and allow for ongoing optimization post-launch.

As we scale, we’re investing in more specialized implementation roles to ensure customers get to value quickly. This role is ideal for someone earlier in their implementation or customer-facing career who is excited to learn, grow, and develop deep expertise in a complex product.

• Customer Centricity: You are adept at understanding enterprise customer needs and tailoring implementation configurations to meet their specific requirements. You build strong customer relationships by maintaining high levels of engagement and communication. You serve as the customer’s proactive guide and advocate related to technical configuration, balancing empathy and practicality throughout the implementation. Bonus points if you have prior familiarity with Talent Acquisition teams and processes.

• Technical Proficiency: You have a solid understanding of a complex product (ideally Ashby) and its technical intricacies. You are technically curious and creative.

• Critical Thinking & Solutions Orientation: You proactively address thematic customer opportunities and improve our processes accordingly. You don’t rely on ‘I’ve seen this done,’ but instead think critically to solve problems. You anticipate how configuration decisions might impact customer goals, ask questions to validate options, and pair your recommendations with risk mitigation tactics.

• Best Practices & Recommendations: You take pride in advising customers on best practices specific to their usage of software to ensure optimal value.

• Change Management: You are experienced in navigating change management processes and helping customers adapt to new systems and a refreshed approach.

• Cross-functional Collaboration and Communication: You effectively partner with cross-functional stakeholders across Customer Success, Sales, Product, Engineering, and Operations to align and define progress. You proactively communicate progress and risks with internal and external s...
