Our Business Implementation Consultant role is a key aspect of our services organization, working to ensure our customers have a successful implementation. Our customer experience and overall success starts with the onboarding journey, which this role will help scope and guide.
Our BICs are the type of people that once they find a problem, they cannot let go of that problem until they have found the right solution for the customer. This may require having expert knowledge of what the platform can do, but it may also require the ability to think outside the box and problem solve in new and creative ways. A BIC is an advocate for the customer and is willing to zealously defend the requirements of the customer, both internally and to the customer themselves.
Working for a Series A startup is not for everyone. It requires a desire to build from the ground up. That is easy to say and harder to do. It requires working long hours, working within ambiguity, and a selfless dedication to do whatever it takes to make the customer successful. However, the results, if you are the right minded person, are incredibly rewarding. Beyond potential financial gain, there is large personal growth with deep job satisfaction as you can step back and admire what you and the team built together.
