Every site we activate is a product deployment — and right now, many of those sites are running on alpha or beta builds, with the complexity that comes with it.The Implementation Manager owns the execution layer that sits between a validated product and a successfully activated clinical site.

You will be doing that work at a company that is iterating fast, where the deployment model you design and refine today will scale to hundreds of sites.As an early hire on a lean team, you will also carry some operational responsibilities that a larger organization would split across multiple roles.
