About the Team

The Implementation team onboards our Premium, Pro and Enterprise customers onto the Perk platform, guiding them from signup to launch. We provide consultative, administrative, technical and educational support, and recommend ways to optimise each client's experience.

About the Role

The Senior Implementation Specialist is a change management and consultative expert who owns the onboarding and successful adoption of our Enterprise clients. You dig deep into client needs, define the best onboarding strategy, and lead change inside the customer's organisation. You bridge platform capabilities and client expectations, delivering a 7-star experience from first contact through long-term success.

You ensure new clients are fully prepared to book business travel on Perk: configuring accounts to their requirements, supporting integrations and troubleshooting, and getting users ready through tailored training. You are confident steering clients towards the recommendations that serve them best in the long term, even when these differ from their original request.

Technical expertise is central to the role. You are the in-depth expert on the Perk Travel platform and its configuration options, and you understand integrations and open APIs well enough to guide clients and their IT teams through marketplace partner and custom-built setups. You can troubleshoot issues, translate complex technical concepts for both technical and non-technical audiences, and recommend the most effective mix of automations, integrations and platform features for each client. You also learn new tools and concepts quickly as the product evolves.

You are also a mentor for the Implementation team and the wider Revenue organisation, trusted as a source of expertise both internally and externally.

Responsibilities

• Be the first impression of Perk and the first point of contact for clients and escalations throughout implementation, always delivering 7-star service.

• Hold consultative conversations to gather client requirements, and answer them with experience and data-driven best-practice recommendations.

• Own the timeline, rollout plan and account while it is in implementation, preparing and executing onboarding plans with strong project management and directing work across the internal team.

• Act as the subject matter expert in change management and adoption, leading customers through introducing a new travel tool and policies, and providing guides, templates and recommendations to support long-term success.

• Act as a technical solutions expert: identify the best solutions for each client's needs, prioritising automations, integrations and the full range of platform functionality.

• Configure client accounts to their specifications and provide technical support and troubleshooting, including setting up integrations with marketplace partners or custom-built API solutions.

• Plan and deliver tailored training sessions for newly onboarded customers, including executive-level stakeholders and company-wide training.

• Lead cross-functional projects, keeping all internal stakeholders aligned on the goal of full customer ramp-up. Collaborate with Sales, Account Management, Product, Engineering and Finance.

• Prioritise accounts based on client and business needs.

• Simplify complex technical information for all audiences.

• Support Pre-Sales by explaining what an implementation will look like and how the platform can meet prospects' needs.

• Validate configuration and account satisfaction by monitoring client booking behaviour after launch, and proactively offering support or recommendations.

• Review completed implementations to improve your own process and the team's, following a cycle of execute, assess, improve, repeat.

• Mentor colleagues and set an example for the Implementation team and the wider Revenue organisation.

What we look for

• A customer-first mindset, focused on a smooth onboarding and on what clients need to be happy in the long term.

• A proven track record as a high achiever in an Implementation Specialist role, with previous experience working with Enterprise clients.

• Success managing and delivering complex, international projects in a fast-paced environment, including defining scope and handling changing requirements while keeping the project on course.

• Demonstrated ability to work with C-level stakeholders to clarify their requirements and concerns clearly and professionally.

• Superb communication skills, and the ability to build relationships at all levels internally and externally, adapting your approach as needed.

• A thoughtful, consultative approach to making recommendations to clients and internal stakeholders.

• Organised, structured and analytical, with strong problem-solving skills, creativity in solutions and keen attention to detail.

• Tech-savvy, with an understanding of basic technical concepts around integrations and open APIs, and the ability to learn and adapt quickly.

• A solution-oriented, proactive mindset with a commitment to continuous improvement, spotting opportunities to improve things for clients and the team.

• Excitement for challenges and a personal drive to make a difference.

AI at Perk
AI is embedded in how we work across every function. The tools you'll use day-to-day are AI-enabled so you can move faster and spend more time on the work that matters. In practice, that means using AI to research and prioritise accounts, draft and refine outreach, handle customer interactions more effectively, synthesise information, and cut through shadow work - the invisible tasks that pull people away from the work only they can do - so you can focus on relationships and outcomes.
