About The Position

The Implementation Manager / Senior Implementation Manager is responsible for guiding clients through the full implementation and onboarding lifecycle for Euna Grants. This individual brings deep grants knowledge, a strong technical foundation, and a genuine curiosity for how AI and emerging tools can improve the way work gets done — for both our clients and our team. This role is the product expert in the room. You will lead discovery, configure systems, deliver trainings, manage cross-functional relationships, and help clients connect their grants management goals to the capabilities of Euna Grants. You bring an understanding of the public sector grants landscape — ideally from direct experience — and you know how to translate that knowledge into practical, high-quality implementation work. The level of this role is determined based on experience. Senior-level candidates bring a more complex portfolio, greater independence, and a leadership presence within the Implementation team. Both levels report to the Manager of Professional Services and work closely with Customer Support and Product teams. ECP is at an exciting point in its growth - the foundation is solid, the mission is clear, and we are focused on scaling what is working. People who do well here help write the playbook rather than wait for one. They think on their feet, stay flexible as things change, and collaborate openly - information does not get siloed and people step in beyond their lane when the client or team needs it. If you are energized by momentum and want your work to matter, you will fit in here.
