      <title>Implementation Program Manager</title>
      <description>&lt;h3&gt;About the Job&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As an Implementation Program Manager at Positive Energy you will lead deployments of our cutting-edge product suite for our utility clients. Once a contract is signed, you will be responsible for insuring our program is delivered on-time and under-budget, thereby exceeding the client&amp;rsquo;s expectations. You will lead the implementation by working closely with the Account Executive and the Implementation Engineering team to identify the tasks needed to complete the implementation, set and drive the project plan, coordinate the resolution of technical issues, secure deliverables from the client team, and support communication with key client stakeholders. You will develop solid, trusting relationships with the client and be required to travel for face-to-face meetings with the client on important milestones. You will also be responsible for managing multiple implementations at any given time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is an ideal job for a professional, technical project/implementation manager who wants to be part of a rapidly growing startup, and contribute to our success by delivering our world-class product suite to our clients.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;About You&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ul class="bulletedblack"&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You have 3-5 years of project management experience in a rapidly paced environment (PMP certification is a plus)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You have a technical background and a BS or MS in a computer-related or analytical field.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You love working with clients, leading a team, and delivering world-class technical projects with high quality.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You understand that the success of each project with each client will determine whether the client remains with us, and that you own making that success a reality.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You thrive when given the opportunity to work on multiple projects simultaneously, and have the ability to make multi-tasking look effortless.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You know how to build an effective project plan that takes into account technical details, internal and external dependencies, shared resources, and risks&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You understand technical concepts, including application architecture, data relationships and features at a deep functional level. This helps you identify problems with prospective implementations (and your project schedules).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You are an excellent communicator who can work well with clients remotely, and move projects along using conference calls, Webex, wikis, and other project management tools.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You have an eye towards process improvement and efficiency and are not satisfied until you feel you&amp;rsquo;ve been able to exceed the expectations of clients and internal stakeholders.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You are equally comfortable working with project managers, business analysts, engineers, and executives.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Traveling 10%-20% of the time to meet with a client&amp;rsquo;s project team for key milestones (e.g. kick-off meetings and major-milestone delivery meetings) is what you know allows you to establish a strong relationship with the client, enabling you to get the job done right.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You function well in a fast-paced, informal environment where constant change is the norm and the bar for delivering results is set high.&lt;/li&gt;
