About the Role
As an Implementation Manager, you will be the key driver in ensuring new customers successfully adopt the Canvas platform. You will lead clients through discovery, configuration, solution design, integration set up, and training. You will act as the customer-facing quarterback to ensure clinical workflows are implemented seamlessly to ensure a successful go-live.
Key components of this role include technical fluency and clear communication. You should be comfortable discussing topics such as system design, APIs, data models, and SDK-driven extensions. You should also be equally comfortable translating those concepts into plain language for non-technical stakeholders. You’ll bridge the gap between customer teams and internal Canvas teams by understanding system design, clarifying requirements, and turning complex technical details into actionable implementation plans that help customers adopt Canvas confidently within their broader ecosystem.
This position is an excellent fit for individuals with experience in healthcare technology, project management, and SaaS implementations, who excel in fast-paced, customer-facing environments.

What We’re Looking For
Implementation experience in healthcare SaaS, EHR/EMR, practice management, billing, payer connectivity, clinical operations tools, or adjacent health tech.
Strong project management fundamentals: scoping, milestones, RAID (risks/assumptions/issues/dependencies), stakeholder comms.
Ability to reconstructing solutions from fundamental elements to drive radical innovation
Individuals that approach ambiguous problems with a hypothesis-driven mindset, identify key inputs / feedback loops and tests assumptions before scaling a solution
Technical curiosity and learning agility - able to become conversant in APIs/SDKs quickly.
