About The Position

Canvas Medical, established in 2015, is the EMR company accelerating everyday medicine at the speed of science. Canvas helps customers optimize the clinician experience using it’s unified architecture and developer tools — enabling optimized workflows, connected patient experiences, and integrated healthcare data. Canvas works with customers across all care models and verticals, from direct-to-consumer virtual care to at-risk complex care and everything in between. As an Implementation Manager, you will be the key driver in ensuring new customers successfully adopt the Canvas platform. You will lead clients through discovery, configuration, solution design, integration set up, and training. You will act as the customer-facing quarterback to ensure clinical workflows are implemented seamlessly to ensure a successful go-live. Key components of this role include technical fluency and clear communication. You should be comfortable discussing topics such as system design, APIs, data models, and SDK-driven extensions.

You’ll bridge the gap between customer teams and internal Canvas teams by understanding system design, clarifying requirements, and turning complex technical details into actionable implementation plans that help customers adopt Canvas confidently within their broader ecosystem. This position is an excellent fit for individuals with experience in healthcare technology, project management, and SaaS implementations, who excel in fast-paced, customer-facing environments.
