Job description
Location(s)
This is a hybrid role based out of our San Francisco, CA or New York, NY office. Our team works in-office time on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
About the Role
We're looking for a Director of Implementations to own and scale our customer onboarding function. You'll lead a team of TPMs, own the methodology that gets customers live on Casap quickly, and serve as the connective tissue between Sales, Product, Engineering, and Customer Experience.
Team Leadership
- Hire, develop, and grow a team of TPMs (Technical Program Managers) across a range of experience levels.
- Set performance standards and create clear career paths within the implementation function.
- Build a culture of accountability and continuous improvement on your team.
- Equip TPMs with the context and judgment to make sound calls independently.
Implementation Excellence
- Own Casap's implementation methodology end-to-end: kickoff, system integration, configuration and testing, data migration, go-live, and the handoff to the Customer Experience Organization.
- Develop and maintain implementation playbooks, templates and documentation so the team can deliver consistently at scale
- Build and continually evolve the governance model, including dashboards, metrics, and a regular cadence, that keeps customers aligned with implementation progress as volume and team size scale, reinforcing Casap as a trusted partner in their dispute and fraud operations.
- Drive down time-to-value without sacrificing quality or customer experience.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Partner with the team on pre-sales scoping and clean handoffs at close.
- Create a tight feedback loop with Product and Engineering, surfacing integration patterns from the field that should inform the roadmap.
- Partner with Engineering to build a self-serve configuration tool that speeds up customer launches and reduces reliance on engineering resources.
- Work with Customer Experience Managers to ensure a seamless transition post go-live and support long-term account health.
Metrics & Operations
- Own implementation KPIs: time to implement, time to first value, go-live slippage rate, implementation CSAT, and TPM capacity/utilization.
- Identify bottlenecks, iterate on process, and report on implementation health to leadership.
What You’ve Done
Required:
- 10+ years of experience in fintech, banking technology, or payments implementation, with meaningful time in a client-facing or professional services role.
- Demonstrated experience leading and managing implementation or solutions teams, including hiring and developing talent.
- Strong project management instincts: you stay on top of timelines, proactively surface risk, and keep customers and internal stakeholders aligned.
- Excellent communicator; able to build trust quickly with customers and collaborate effectively across product, engineering, and go-to-market teams.
- Executive presence and high emotional intelligence: you read a room, manage escalations calmly under pressure, and build lasting relationships with customer executives and internal stakeholders alike.
- Proven experience scaling an implementation or delivery function, rebuilding process, tooling, and governance as the team's needs grow.
- Comfortable prioritizing under pressure across multiple concurrent, competing implementation timelines.
Preferred:
- Background at a fintech or payments company, combined with SaaS or fintech implementation experience.
- Hands-on core banking and card network integration experience, with enough technical depth to advise financial institutions directly.
- Experience in management consulting or professional services, managing complex client engagements.
- Familiarity with card network certification processes, PCI compliance, or dispute/fraud regulatory frameworks (Reg E, Reg Z, Nacha, card network rules).

- Notable perks: Not explicitly listed, but the engineering culture is a priority — a Founding Engineer/Head of Engineering role exists, and the technical team makes up a significant portion of headcount.
