About The Position

The Product Implementation Specialist is responsible for the successful configuration and implementation of DESIGNA software solutions for customers across the U.S. market. Serving as the bridge between a customer’s parking operation and DESIGNA’s products, this role works directly with customers to understand their business processes, operational requirements, workflows, and available data and translate those needs into the appropriate product configuration. The position takes hands-on ownership of application setup, customer data imports and migration, implementation testing and validation, and product-related issue escalation. Throughout the implementation process, this role ensures customers are properly configured, prepared for launch, and positioned for successful long-term use of the solution. This is a product and business implementation role rather than an IT infrastructure role.

Requirements

5+ years of experience in software or product implementation, business systems implementation, implementation consulting, or a similar customer-facing role.
Demonstrated experience independently managing implementations from business discovery through configuration, data migration, testing, and go-live.
Strong ability to understand business processes and translate operational requirements into application configurations and workflows.
Experience with customer data imports, migrations, mapping, validation, and reconciliation.
Strong functional aptitude and ability to develop expertise in complex business software.
Excellent customer-facing communication skills and the ability to work effectively with both operational and technical stakeholders.
Strong organizational and problem-solving skills with the ability to manage multiple implementations and escalations simultaneously.

Nice To Haves
