Implementation Manager
Job Description
About Siena
Siena is building enterprise empathic AI Agents powered by reasoning-adept LLMs. Siena is the first AI Agent of its kind, designed to integrate with existing systems and interact with customers across multiple channels from a single, unified platform.
If you're excited about the intersection of human-to-machine communication and want to be part of a team driving innovation and making a real impact in automating agentic workflows, join us on our mission to revolutionize customer experience through empathetic AI.
Our AI-First Philosophy
At Siena, AI isn't just a tool—it’s embedded in our DNA. We believe that leveraging AI-first workflows empowers individuals to work smarter, faster, and more creatively. Our team embraces AI-powered augmentation in everything we do, from research to execution, making us more efficient and innovative every day.
About the role:
As an Implementation Manager, your mission is to get new customers up and running on the Siena platform — efficiently, confidently, and excitedly. You’ll be the face of Siena during the most critical phase of our customer relationship: the implementation. This means guiding new users through onboarding, translating their SOPs into AI-powered automations, and ensuring they become self-sufficient experts on our platform.
We’re looking for an entrepreneurial mindset, a fearless attitude, and a passion for excellence in onboarding new clients onto our product. Our team not only takes pride in our work but also in the way we do it. You must be capable of successfully implementing new business while ensuring a high degree of client satisfaction. You'll work with medium to large-sized organizations, with no limit on the complexity or feature/functionality usage of the client.
What You'll Do
Customer Onboarding
Own and manage onboarding projects from kickoff through go-live (typically 4–6 weeks), working cross-functionally with Sales, Customer Success, Product, and Managed Services.
Client Management
Build relationships with stakeholders in order to proactively identify and mitigate any implementation risks
Training & Enablement
Train customer teams — from frontline AI Managers to busy executives — on Siena’s platform: how to draft automation instructions (prompts), QA automated responses, trigger actions, and leverage insights and analytics.
AI Prompt Engineering & Testing
Help customers convert their complex SOPs into high-quality automation instructions and conduct thorough testing and validation before go-live
Technical Scoping & Implementation
Partner with the Solutions Engineering team to scope complex technical solutions and the implementation of custom app integrations, requiring knowledge of how APIs function
Product & Process Feedback
Systematically collect customer feedback to improve the implementation process and contribute to the product roadmap based on implementation insights
Project Management & Change Management
Track milestones, call out blockers, and keep all stakeholders — internal and external — aligned and accountable while managing organizational change and adoption challenges within customer teams
Content & Materials Development
Maintain and create self-serve onboarding materials, including training decks, automation templates, help guides, and implementation playbooks.
You'll Work Closely With
Customer Success (you live here)
Sales (for smooth handoffs)
Managed Services (for ongoing support or white-glove onboarding)
Product and Engineering (for feature gaps or custom integrations)
What You Should Know
How to explain complex systems to non-technical users
How prompting works for LLMs and the basics of AI QA
How APIs and app integrations work in the real world of e-commerce
How to be effective in startup chaos: document as you go, forgive gaps, and ship forward
Who You Are
Have 3+ years of experience in onboarding, implementation, CSM, or CX operations in a B2B SaaS environment
Have used tools like Shopify, Zendesk, Gorgias, Kustomer, or similar
Love teaching others and know how to pace training sessions for both power users and execs
Are organized as hell, juggling multiple projects and timelines without letting balls drop
Are comfortable in fast-moving, scrappy environments where not everything is perfectly documented
Can hold your own in a Zoom room full of C-level execs — and then hop into a screen share to troubleshoot a broken automation
Are a self-starter who can move forward with minimal guidance and prioritize ruthlessly
Please Don’t Apply If You...
Expect every process to be polished and every tool perfectly set up
Need a lot of structure to operate
Don’t enjoy teaching or running 1:1 sessions
Are easily frustrated by ambiguity or fast iteration cycles
Think startup scrappiness = incompetence
What Success Looks Like
1 month: You’ve mastered the platform, understand common customer use cases, and can draft and QA automations confidently
3 months: You’ve led 2–3 successful implementations from start to finish and your customers are graduating from onboarding
6 months: You’re maintaining and improving our self-serve onboarding content, helping newer IMs, and contributing to scalable processes
