About the Job
At Xendit, we are looking for a Senior Implementations Manager to lead the successful onboarding of large mainland Chinese enterprise clients onto our payments platform.
In this role, you will own the end-to-end implementation journey - from post-sale handover through to go-live - ensuring clients are set up for long-term success. You will work closely with customers to understand their business models, payment flows, and operational requirements, translating these into structured implementation plans and technical integrations.
You will manage complex onboarding projects involving API integrations, payment method configuration, and system alignment with clients’ internal processes. This includes coordinating across internal teams (Sales, Product, Engineering, Compliance) and external client stakeholders to drive timely and high-quality delivery.
As the primary point of contact during onboarding, you will proactively manage timelines, risks, and dependencies, while maintaining clear and consistent communication with clients - including enterprise stakeholders in Greater China. You will also guide clients through best practices, provide enablement and training, and ensure a smooth transition to post go-live ownership.
This role is ideal for someone who combines strong project management discipline with client-facing experience in complex B2B or fintech environments, and is comfortable operating in fast-paced, high-growth settings.

- Experience working cross-functionally with Sales, Product, Engineering, and Compliance teams to deliver client outcomes
- Strong communication skills in English and Mandarin (business proficiency required) to effectively support Greater China clients
- High level of ownership and accountability, with the ability to operate independently in fast-paced, high-growth environments

- Experience in payments, fintech, or financial infrastructure, particularly working with APIs, payment flows, or regulated environments
- Prior experience supporting or onboarding enterprise clients in Greater China (Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong)
- Background in consulting, system integration, or professional services, with exposure to structured project delivery methodologies
- Familiarity with project management frameworks (e.g. Agile, Scrum, or Waterfall) and tools (e.g. Jira, Asana, Notion)
- Demonstrated ability to manage multi-market or cross-border implementations, including navigating regulatory, operational, or cultural nuances
- Experience working in high-growth or fast-scaling technology companies, with the ability to adapt processes and operate in evolving environments
- Exposure to data migration, system mapping, or workflow design as part of client onboarding
- Strong problem-solving mindset with the ability to identify process gaps and proactively improve implementation playbooks
