About The Position

Intellum is the leader in corporate education technology and powers the largest, most successful customer, partner, and employee learning programs in the world. Large brands and fast-moving companies like Google, Meta, Amazon, Walmart, Xero, Atlassian, Mailchimp, Airbnb, Stripe, and TikTok rely on Intellum to engage and educate the audiences they touch. We have always been a “remote first” company and are proud to have team members located all over the world. We value Curiosity, Creativity, Perseverance, and Kindness and strive to demonstrate these core values every day. Our culture is very important to us. We invest in our people in fun and exciting ways, including personal development budgets and an annual all-company retreat that is focused less on work and more on human connections. We are in growth mode, and our “smart growth” approach ensures that we will continue to scale our company effectively. This is not a traditional Project Manager role focused on internal stakeholders, PMO governance, or back-office project tracking. This is a client-facing SaaS implementation and onboarding role responsible for guiding Intellum customers through complex technical implementations, platform launches, integrations, and customer-specific configuration projects. The Implementation Project Manager plays a key role in delivering efficient and effective services experiences for new and existing Intellum clients. Responsible for directly managing end-to-end implementation projects and technical initiatives, the TPM ensures alignment between technical requirements and business goals while providing a structured, high-quality customer experience. This role requires strong project management capabilities, platform expertise, and the ability to collaborate across internal and customer teams to deliver measurable outcomes. As a member of the Technical Project Management team within Professional Services, you will guide internal stakeholders and clients through complex implementation efforts, proactively identifying risks, resolving issues, and providing clear technical guidance throughout the project lifecycle. You will partner closely with cross-functional teams, including Sales, Customer Success, Product, Engineering, Support, and Education, to ensure clients are positioned for long-term adoption and success. This role reports to the Director of Technical Project Management.
