Manager of Implementation

Higharc is a VC-backed startup that is changing how new homes are designed and built. Join a founding team who’ve shipped products for Autodesk, Electronic Arts, Nike, and Apple. In 2024, we raised a $53M Series B fundraising round with support from top-notch venture capital firms and more than 18 strategic investors—industry leaders in construction, building products manufacturing, and distribution.

As the Manager of Implementation, you will oversee a team of implementation leads that are responsible for customer implementation, home plan optimization and initial training phases of builder clients, using Higharc. This role requires in-depth knowledge of implementation planning, capacity forecasting, homebuilding processes and/or construction management, and digital tools like CAD/BIM (e.g. Revit, AutoCAD, Sketchup) to ensure clients experience a smooth transition to Higharc’s platform. You’ll manage a team responsible for guiding clients through discovery, optimization, plan implementation, and provide ongoing support with a focus on speed and quality, minimizing the Time-To-Value.

About the Job

• Strategic management and planning: Responsible for implementation project planning, initial sizing and scoping, resource assignment, capacity modeling and performance evaluations for a team of implementors. A forward thinking mindset is important as we scale the team.
• Client Implementation and Setup: Manage the initial implementation process, including requirements gathering, plan optimization, customer education, and initial configuration of client accounts to align with builder specifications. Focus on value added implementation is important. 
• Project Management: Own our implementation projects, ensuring deadlines, resources, project scope, and client expectations are met. High attention to detail and process are key. You’re the escalation point to get ahead of any issues and drive resolution to the client’s satisfaction.

• Quality Assurance and Testing: Establish processes for effective quality checks that ensure correct setup, and functionality of platform features.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with Product, Engineering, Customer Success and Sales teams to align on client needs, report platform bugs and feature requests.
• Metrics and Reporting: Track and report to leadership on key implementation metrics: chiefly time-to-value, but also customer satisfaction, referencability, and adoption.
