What You'll Do

As an Implementation Manager, you'll be our ISV Partners' first professional services point of contact - their trusted advisor and consultant on their integrated payments journey.

You'll lead implementations for an ever-evolving portfolio of software Partners across a wide array of verticals and solution sets.

Instrumental to your success will be your ability to work closely with our Partners' Sales, Marketing, Operations, Support, and Technical teams.

They'll rely on your expertise and guidance in building and implementing best practices, training and education, and the overall strategic direction of their go-to-market effort.

Stax partners with a diverse assortment of software companies across many different industries, to enable payment acceptance within their platforms.

In this role, you'll work cross-functionally with other Stax departments to assist our ISV Partners in navigating the complexities of integrating payments into their platforms.

As a cohesive implementation team, you'll creatively solve difficult challenges that drive revenue and build institutional value for Stax and our Partners.

Throughout your journey, you'll have endless opportunities to level up your own knowledge, both within the payments ecosystem and across industries like healthcare, field services, legal, accounting, ecommerce, and much more.

• Clearly and consistently communicate with Partners to gather clarifying details and context around complex decisions and strategies, and to drive action until the project is completed
• Provide ongoing feedback to help identify trends for potential process and experience enhancements
• Develop and execute quarterly initiatives which you'll own, end-to-end, delivering value directly to your team, the organization, or to our Partners (your choice!)
• Be diligent in spotting revenue-generating opportunities, developing and executing against those opportunities with tenacity and confidence
