Position Summary

The Sr. Associate – Implementation Specialist provides technical leadership and hands-on expertise across client implementations of apex portal™ and smartVM™. The role owns the technical success of an implementation end to end — from requirement discovery and solution design through ERP integration, data mapping, testing and go-live.

The successful candidate combines strong technical depth in SaaS platforms, APIs, ETL and databases with the consulting presence to build trusted client relationships. Practical, hands-on experience applying AI tools within a delivery or implementation environment is mandatory for this role. This is also a mentoring role: you will guide junior team members and act as an escalation point for complex technical issues.

Key Responsibilities

Client Implementation & Delivery

• Identify critical implementation requirements and build an implementation plan that delivers project milestones on time and to scope.
• Present technical overviews of apexportal and associated technical requirements to clients during implementation and upgrade planning.
• Manage the setup and configuration of the technical environment for hosted clients.
• Take end-to-end ownership of release and delivery activities, including cutover and post go-live stabilization.

Solution Design & Integration

• Design and develop workflows for apexportal functionality and present them to key stakeholders for sign-off.
• Assist clients in designing and building interfaces between their ERP systems and apexportal, and lead the testing of those integrations, including data reconciliation between the client ERP and apexportal.
• Develop and unit test baseline modules of the apexportal Solutions product.
• Apply AI tools and automation to accelerate delivery tasks such as data mapping, configuration, testing, documentation and issue diagnosis.

Technical Leadership & Support

• Serve as Subject Matter Expert and technical lead for client configurations and installations of apexportal and smartVM.
• Act as the escalation point for internal and external deployments, troubleshooting and diagnosing the root cause of software issues.
• Provide guidance, training and knowledge transfer to junior team members across both products.
• Partner with the Client Value and Audit teams to resolve client issues and support ongoing accounts.

Process Improvement & Reporting

• Design, implement and enhance high-impact business process improvement initiatives for client software implementations.
• Create and maintain mockups, BRDs, FRDs and wireframes using tools such as Visio, Excel, Microsoft Project, Adobe and Snagit.
• Provide recommendations to leadership on a regular and ad-hoc basis and prepare periodic status reporting for management.

Required Skills & Experience

Candidates must demonstrate all of the following:

• AI experience — hands-on experience applying AI tools and technologies (for example AI-assisted development, automation, document or data extraction, or AI-supported analysis) to real delivery work. Candidates should be able to describe specific use cases and the outcome achieved.
• Implementation / ERP background — 4+ years in an implementation, technical consulting or professional services role, including exposure to ERP systems and their data structures.
• SaaS product understanding — solid understanding of SaaS architecture, multi-tenant delivery models, configuration-led implementations and the release cycles they operate on.
• APIs, ETL & data warehousing — working knowledge of REST/SOAP APIs, ETL mapping and table design, and core data warehouse concepts.
• Database skills — hands-on experience with SQL Server, PostgreSQL or an equivalent relational database, including the ability to write and troubleshoot complex queries, stored procedures, views, indexes and jobs (2+ years).
• Communication — excellent written and verbal communication, with the confidence to present technical concepts to non-technical client stakeholders and executives.
• Delivery methodology — 4+ years delivering within Agile / Scrum SDLC environments.

Additional Technical Skills

• Experience with Supply Chain or Procure-to-Pay technology implementations.
• Working knowledge of integration technologies including SSO, SAML, SSL, web services, REST and SOAP; ServiceNow integration experience is an advantage.
• Experience with version control tools such as Git, SVN, CVS or TFS.
• Familiarity with business intelligence tools such as Power BI, Tableau, QlikView or SSRS.
• Comfortable working with the command line and standard system commands.

Preferred / Good to Have

• Hands-on experience with Workday or Oracle.
• Consulting experience across multiple ERPs — specifically MDM, Vendor Master and P2P (SAP, Oracle, PeopleSoft and similar).
• Exposure to Accounts Payable modules within ERP systems such as Workday, SAP, Oracle or J.D. Edwards.
• Knowledge of report migration, subscriptions and data extraction from ERP systems.
• Experience defining application and system configuration standards with cross-functional teams and business units.

Core Competencies

• Strong analytical and structured problem-solving skills, with a track record of diagnosing root causes rather than symptoms.
• Client-service mindset, with the ability to translate client requirements into automated, scalable solutions.
• Highly organized and detail-oriented; able to multi-task with limited supervision and meet changing deadlines under pressure.
• Takes initiative and accepts accountability for outcomes.
• Collaborative and willing to share knowledge across the team.
