Delivery Management & Implementation HealthOwn end-to-end delivery health across a portfolio of Prophix One CPM/FP&A implementation and migration engagements across North America not just schedule adherence, but whether each engagement is on a trajectory to produce a renewable, referenceable customer.Know when to escalate and when not to: distinguish normal implementation friction from early warning signs of scope creep, stakeholder disengagement, or risk to go-live and raise the right issue to the right person before it becomes a renewal problem.Hold the team accountable to delivery best practices and methodology as the mechanism that prevents the predictable failure modes (unclear success criteria, weak CS handoff, slipping hypercare exit) that lead to mid-term churn.Actively watch for and intervene on churn risk during delivery: disengaged sponsors, missed milestones, shifting business priorities and own the corrective action.Keep stakeholders current through both written and verbal updates: concise, data-forward status to clients and to internal leadership (PS, Sales, CS) that reflects real engagement health.Maintain accurate, current data in delivery and reporting tools so portfolio health, capacity, and forecast are trustworthy at a glance. Reporting hygiene is a delivery responsibility.Surface expansion opportunity uncovered during delivery (new use cases, adjacent pain points, underused modules) and route it to Sales/CS with enough context to act on it.Close the feedback loop on scoping: when delivery reveals that an engagement was under-scoped, mis-estimated, or missing key assumptions, proactively flag it to your manager and to Sales so the pattern gets corrected upstream.Serve as the senior escalation point for engagement risk, scope challenges, and client issues, bringing judgment on severity and the right next move.Collaborate with Project Managers and Solutions Architects to ensure engagements are scoped, resourced, and executed to plan, and to close out projects as quickly as quality allows.Contribute to delivery methodology, tooling, and process improvement across the NA PS organization particularly where recurring issues point to a gap in the playbook.People ManagementHire, onboard, develop, and retain a team of Professional Services consultants across North America.Conduct regular 1:1s, performance reviews, and career development conversations.Coach the team on judgment and mechanics on when to escalate, how to read a stakeholder relationship, how to have the hard conversation early rather than late.Provide hands-on coaching on delivery quality, client communication, and technical problem-solving.Collaborate with the PS leadership team and Talent Acquisition on workforce planning.Client & Stakeholder EngagementBuild trusted advisor relationships with key NA client stakeholders, including CFOs, controllers, and FP&A leaders.Partner with Sales, Customer Success, and Support to ensure seamless handoffs and a cohesive client experience across the NA market.Represent PS in pre-sales conversations where delivery credibility and scoping input are required including flagging scoping risk before a deal closes, based on patterns seen in delivery.What You Will Bring
