For a decade, Engine has built the proprietary technology and supply behind modern business travel, serving over 40,000 customers and nearly 2 million travelers, along with leading travel and AI companies that build on Engine's infrastructure. One system powers business travel, group travel, human agents, and AI agents.\nThat work has earned recognition as one of Fast Company's Best Workplaces for Innovators (2025), TravelTech's Reservation Platform of the Year (2026), and one of Built In's Best Places to Work (2020-2026).\nWe're looking for bold, ambitious people to help redefine how businesses manage and experience travel. Working here, you can expect exponential growth, an ambitious pace, full ownership, and high-caliber colleagues who push you to do the best work of your career. Every hire raises the bar.\nCome outpace the ordinary and build the future of travel with us.\nJoin Our Journey at Engine\nAt Engine, we’re revolutionizing work travel. Our modern travel platform isn’t just about booking trips; it’s about transforming how businesses and their teams experience travel. From seamless booking with top airlines, hotels, and car rental providers to single-invoice billing and flexible trip modifications, we make travel easier to manage and better to experience.\nEngine is bringing its platform to the corporate-travel channel: travel management companies (TMCs) sign on, bring their corporate accounts, and book flights, hotels, and cars on Engine, direct bill, and Flex built in. Every TMC we sign, and every corporate account behind it, has to be configured, trained, and taken through its first booking before any of that value shows up. That work is this job.\nYour Mission:\nAs Senior Lead OBT Implementation Manager, you'll own the path from signed agreement to live, booking TMC. You'll stand each agency up on Engine (GDS credentials, agency profile, queues, agent access), configure their corporate accounts (travelers, departments, travel policies, direct bill, Flex, custom fields, rewards), train their agents, and hold the timeline across several activations at once. You'll be our first dedicated implementer, which means you define how Engine implements TMCs: you build the playbook while you run it, set the standard for the implementers who follow you, and make sure the twentieth TMC goes live in a fraction of the time the second one did.\nWhat You’ll Do: \nLead TMC implementations end to end: kickoff, discovery and scoping, project plan, risk log, go-live, and 30-day stabilization. Run several launches in parallel.\nConfigure the platform for each TMC and its corporate clients: travel policy, approval flows, traveler profiles, display and content rules, Engine-only rates alongside TMC-negotiated rate programs, and chain rate-access approvals.\nOwn GDS readiness across Sabre, Travelport, and Amadeus: pseudo-city and agency setup, PNR structure, queue placement, profile sync, ticketing and mid-office handoff.\nScope and deliver integrations: SSO, HRIS profile feeds, expense systems, duty of care, reporting and BI, commission tracking.\nRun UAT with TMC agents and corporate admins; triage defects with Product and Engineering; make the go/no-go call.\nBuild the implementation playbook: standard timelines, configuration templates, UAT scripts, and migration runbooks for corporates moving from legacy OBTs or from Engine.com self-serve onto Engine OBT+.\nTrain agents, admins, and travel managers; produce written and video collateral they can reuse.\nFeed the roadmap: document TMC requirements and gaps, and carry the implementation lens into product reviews.\nSupport Sales on pre-sale technical discovery, RFPs, and implementation scoping for enterprise TMCs.\nWhat You'll Bring to Engine:\n7+ years in implementation, onboarding, or customer success, including time at a TMC or a travel technology company, and at least one role where you built the process rather than ran someone else's.\nHands-on GDS experience in at least one of Sabre, Travelport, or Amadeus. Multi-GDS is a strong plus.\nHands-on experience administering or supporting an online booking tool (Concur, Deem, Spotnana, or similar): profiles, policies, approvals, payment and billing setup.\nStrong written communication: you can turn a setup call into a reusable guide and a customer problem into a clear brief for Product.\nYou've managed or mentored other implementers, or built an implementation function from the first hire.\nComfort using AI tools to document, diagnose, and scale implementation content without sacrificing accuracy or depth.\nBonus points\nYou've worked inside a TMC and know the account-manager and agent workflows from the inside.\nExperience with direct bill, central billing, or corporate card setup in a travel program.\nBackground in meetings and events or group travel.\nApplications for this role will be accepted through February 20 or until the role is filled. We encourage you to apply early, as we may begin reviewing applications before the deadline.\nOTE Compensation\nIn addition to a competitive base salary, our listed compensation range includes the estimated variable target. Your OTE (on-target earnings) are based on several factors including your experience, expertise, and location. In addition, all roles receive equity. Your recruiter will share your complete compensation package as you move through the process.\nTotal OTE Range (Base Salary + Variable)\n$185,000—$210,000 USD\nThe Engine Edge: Perks & Compensation\nWe believe in rewarding great work with great benefits:\nCompensation: Competitive base pay tied to role and experience, with equity for all employees. Some roles are also eligible for bonuses or commissions.\nBenefits: Check out our full list at engine.com/culture \n Environments for Success: Different roles have different needs in terms of the environments that drive success which is why we have a hybrid-hub model. Whether you are in one of our amazing offices or fully remote, we'll make sure you have what you need to succeed.\nPerks and benefits may vary based on employment type, location, and more","description_format":"text","description_chars":6139,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Travel Technology","Business Travel"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-15T23:20:58Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 2","filings_12m":2,"filings_prev_12m":0,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":212500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":63,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.632,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":54,"reasons":["conf:3","stale_co","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-16T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":210000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/engine-sr-lead-obt-implementation-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/engine-sr-lead-obt-implementation-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-16T17:58:34Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":2810,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-17T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3763},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3763"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fengine-sr-lead-obt-implementation-manager"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fengine-sr-lead-obt-implementation-manager"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fengine-sr-lead-obt-implementation-manager"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/engine-sr-lead-obt-implementation-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fengine-sr-lead-obt-implementation-manager"}]}
