As a Manager, you’ll lead sell‑through strategy with advisory and consultancy partners—expanding market reach, SaaS implementation delivery, Client onboarding, consulting delivery, strengthening relationships, and turning complex sales cycles into measurable wins. Lead end-to-end client implementations of Diligent solutions, from project kick-off through go-live, ensuring projects are delivered on time and within scope. Translate client goals and current processes into clear solution designs and implementation plans that drive tangible governance, risk and compliance outcomes. Coordinate cross-functional project teams (Advisory Specialists, Customer Success, Sales and Product), providing clear direction, removing blockers and managing risks.

Proven ability to run multiple projects at once in a high-paced environment, with strong organisation, prioritisation and stakeholder management skills. Confidence leading client workshops and training sessions, with excellent written and verbal communication in English. Comfort working with tech platforms or complex workflows — you don’t need to be an engineer, but you do need to be curious and hands-on. A collaborative, solutions-focused mindset, with the ability to navigate ambiguity and keep projects moving forward. Eligibility to work in the hiring location and flexibility to work with clients both in person and remote across different jurisdictions/time zones when needed.
