AI Implementation Manager

Role Summary

AI is fundamentally changing how enterprises operate.

For decades, procurement teams have relied on fragmented systems, manual processes, and disconnected workflows. As AI agents become capable of executing increasingly complex tasks, successful implementation becomes just as important as the technology itself.

At Lio, we're building THE AI workforce for procurement.

As an AI Implementation Manager, you're not just managing projects.

You're helping some of the world's largest enterprises successfully adopt AI Agents in their day-to-day procurement operations. You'll lead implementations from kick-off to go-live, work closely with customers and internal teams, and ensure every deployment creates measurable business value.

• Own end-to-end enterprise implementations from kick-off to successful go-live
• Translate customer requirements into scalable implementation plans and solution designs
• Act as the primary project owner and trusted advisor for DAX and Fortune 500 customers
• Coordinate Product, Engineering, and Customer Success to ensure seamless execution
• Proactively manage timelines, risks, stakeholder communication, and escalations
• Turn customer feedback into actionable product improvements
• Build scalable implementation processes and playbooks that enable future growth

WHAT'S NOT REQUIRED

You don't need previous procurement experience or deep technical expertise.

We're much more interested in ownership, structured thinking, customer empathy, and your ability to deliver successful enterprise implementations than in having the perfect background

Responsibilities

You'll thrive in this role if you

• Have experience in software implementations, customer success, implementation consulting, or technical project management.
• Take ownership by default. You enjoy driving projects from start to finish and making customers successful.
• Communicate with confidence. You build trust with enterprise customers and coordinate effectively across technical and business teams.
• Stay structured under complexity. Managing multiple stakeholders, timelines, and priorities is something you enjoy.
• Think in solutions. You understand customer challenges and translate them into scalable implementation approaches.
• Are curious about AI and excited about helping enterprises adopt a new generation of software.
