About The Implementations Team

The Implementations team is a part of the broader Customer Success organization at Swiftly, working to ensure customers are happy and finding immense value in the tools that Swiftly provides. We’re on the front line, being the first point of contact for customers that have questions, are encountering issues, or need more support. When problems arise, we ensure that individual customers are listened to and that their issues are cared for, and we apply a keen analytical eye to spot trends and communicate problems in proactive ways with the product team. We are passionate about improving mobility in the communities we serve, and we work side by side with transit agencies and operators to ensure their projects are impactful. We love the human aspect of our work and thrive on getting creative to solve problems or boost network performance. The Customer Success org is responsible for everything post-sale, and the Implementations team is a critical part of starting our customers on the right foot.

In this role, we’ll expect this person to manage both software-only implementations, as well as those that involve the project-management of installation and/or data integration of various onboard hardware components.

Even though Swiftly’s HQ office is located in San Francisco, CA, we are open to candidates in all locations across the U.S. as well as Ontario, Canada. At this time we are unable to provide Visa sponsorship. #LI-Remote
