About the Role
At Aiwyn, our Implementation team is pivotal to our company's success. As an Implementation Specialist, you'll serve as the primary owner of the end-to-end implementation experience for accounting firms onboarding onto Aiwyn's platform. You'll combine rigorous project management discipline with deep technical engagement — managing timelines, surfacing risks, driving firm readiness, and coordinating across internal and external stakeholders to deliver a world-class go-live experience.
This role sits at the intersection of project management, client services, and technical execution. You will own the implementation lifecycle from kickoff through production cutover, while partnering closely with technical staff on data migration, environment setup, and integration work.
What will you do in this role?
At Aiwyn, our Implementation team is pivotal to our company’s success. You will be a key member of our fast-growing and high-performing Go-To-Market (GTM) organization working to deliver an unparalleled experience to our customers and integration partners as we work to 1) onboard and educate new firms in using our software modules, 2) advise firms on best operational practices when using Aiwyn’s software, 3) provide the customer a transparent, supported experience as they go-live with our products.
In this role, you will primarily be working with representatives from our customer firms to manage the Implementation process, acting as the primary lead for interfacing with customers throughout implementation, configuring their system based on their chosen specifications, training the firms on what to expect from the experience of using our software and testing the data flowing through our software. You will also be integral in designing and refining our standard operating procedures as well as contributing and leading internal development and improvement projects.
Key Responsibilities
Project Management & Delivery

Maintain a living project plan in ClickUp capturing all milestones, task ownership, and critical path items — updated weekly and shared transparently with firm stakeholders
Proactively identify, document, and escalate project risks before they become blockers; maintain a formal risk log with mitigation owners and resolution timelines
Run structured project cadences: kickoff meetings, weekly status calls, internal delivery syncs, and go/no-go reviews prior to production cutover
Facilitate clear, timely communication to firm stakeholders at all levels — from system administrators to CFOs — translating technical complexity into actionable decisions
Manage change control when scope, timeline, or resource requirements shift; ensure changes are documented, approved, and reflected in the project plan

Coordinate with technical staff on staging environment provisioning, SSO configuration, and system deployment readiness
Validate that environment-specific configurations are accurate before firm-facing testing begins
Support the setup and testing of integrations, ensuring data flows are confirmed end-to-end prior to go-live
Data Migration & Validation
Partner with technical specialists to manage the firm's data migration workstream, including historical data mapping from legacy PMS systems to Aiwyn equivalents
Lead balancing and validation reviews with the firm: reconciling Open AR and Unbilled WIP reports, resolving discrepancies at the transaction, invoice, and client level
Flag data issues that cannot be resolved before cutover and own the documented remediation plan and timeline
Ensure production cutover balancing is completed and signed off before go-live is authorized

Firm Training & Enablement
Configure the firm's system based on their chosen specifications and operational preferences
Design and deliver tailored training sessions for firm staff, ensuring adoption of Aiwyn's software across relevant workflows

Internal Contribution
Take ownership of internal improvement projects, contributing to SOPs, process documentation, and tooling enhancements
Surface patterns across engagements to inform playbook development, risk frameworks, and implementation methodology improvements
Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, and Customer Success to resolve escalations and improve the customer journey
