The Role

Your primary mandate is clear: get a newly signed school or district from contract to a live, trained, working product fast and smoothly.

The Implementation

Manager at Minga owns everything from the sales handoff call to the go-live sign-off. Once the school/district is live and the Account Manager is briefed, the account relationship is theirs.

This role lives at the intersection of project management, technical configuration, and people skills. You'll be juggling district IT teams, academic calendar constraints, rostering, and administrator walkthroughs, often in parallel across multiple accounts. Success looks like on-time launches, trained admins, and an Account Manager who receives a handoff they can actually use.

Between launches, you are Minga's deepest technical and product expert on the customer-facing side. You'll run special projects across the existing base — platform migrations, product upgrade implementations, and rollouts of new capabilities that come in through a contract — assist in building the digital content and training assets the whole customer team relies on, and get pulled in by Account Managers and Account Executives when an account needs someone who knows the platform inside and out. Expect real customer face time year-round, not just during launch season.

What You’ll Do

Lead the sales-to-implementation handoff call or review the AE's handoff documentation and build your project plan from it

Design a detailed implementation timeline calibrated to the district's academic calendar, IT availability, and staff training windows

Own all project communication with the school/district from kickoff to go-live

Implementation Planning

Lead the sales-to-implementation handoff call or review the AE's handoff documentation and build your project plan from it

Design a detailed implementation timeline calibrated to the district's academic calendar, IT availability, and staff training windows

Own all project communication with the school/district from kickoff to go-live

Technical Setup

Manage rostering integration including data mapping, validation, and troubleshooting

Oversee data import and validation: verify student records, school structures, and staff rosters are accurate before go-live

Own the IT relationship; navigate internal escalations to unblock technical dependencies

Set up bell schedule

Training & Enablement

Deliver administrator configuration walkthroughs, live (Zoom) or recorded with completion tracking

Run staff training sessions tailored to each rollout plan: phased by school, grade level, or use case

Assist the Digital team in building and maintaining digital content including help center articles, training materials, walkthroughs, videos, and self-serve resources

Host live training sessions, group implementation calls and webinars as subject matter experts to support the Digital team

Train customers on new product enhancements as they ship, and refresh the supporting content when the product changes





Support Account Managers with ongoing site-level training in the existing base: new schools coming online inside a live district, new administrators, and staff turnover

Go-Live Ownership

Assess go-live readiness against a defined checklist; make the go/no-go call with confidence

Monitor early adoption signals in the first days post-launch; address blockers before handing off

Deliver a comprehensive written handoff to the Account Manager: org structure, key contacts, open issues, usage baseline, and any promises made

Special Projects & Product Upgrades

Run platform migration projects across the existing base — for example, moving districts off Clever rostering onto MingaSync

Own product upgrade implementations and version transitions for live customers: scoping, sequencing, communication, and validation

Implement new capabilities sold into an existing contract, treating each as a scoped project with its own plan and go-live

Support campaigns and coordinated pushes across the base where the work is technical or training-heavy

Bring what you learn back into the standard process — every special project should leave behind a repeatable playbook

Subject Matter Expertise & Cross-Functional Partnership

Serve as the subject matter expert on Minga's solutions for both customers and internal teams

Support Account Executives on trials and technical evaluations: integration feasibility, security and IT questions, and configuration of pilot environments

Take Account Manager requests for technical or product depth on key accounts, where an escalation, a complex configuration, or a strategic objective needs someone with implementation-grade knowledge

Flag upsell and expansion signals to the Account Manager. You notice them, you don't run them

Provide feedback to the Product team on recurring friction points encountered during implementation

Collaborate with the AE team to improve handoff documentation standards and templates

What This Role Doesn't Own

Renewal conversations or contract paperwork

Long-term relationship strategy, account planning, or business reviews

Running upsell and expansion deals

Day-to-day support tickets after handoff The distinction on the training and special-project work above is deliberate: you provide the expertise and deliver the sessions, the Account Manager owns the account and the commercial relationship.

What Success Looks Like In the first 30 days:

Full command of Minga's implementation process, technical stack, and integration options

Working knowledge of all six Minga solutions and the workflows behind them

Shadow on active implementations; first solo kickoff call completed





Strong working relationships with Product and the AE and AM teams In the first 90 days:

Multiple implementations running independently, on schedule

First go-live delivered on time with a clean AM handoff

Feedback from Account Managers on handoff quality consistently positive

First special project or upgrade delivered, with a reusable playbook left behind

Trusted as a technical resource on at least one AE trial or evaluation

Ongoing

Time to value (contract → go-live): [TBD] days average

On-time launch rate: [TBD]%

Training completion rate: [TBD]%

Handoff quality rating of 4+/5 from Account Management team

What We Require

2+ years in SaaS implementation, onboarding, technical customer success, or a similar role

Experience with SSO configuration (SAML, Google SSO) and rostering integrations (Clever, ClassLink, OneRoster) strongly preferred

Strong project management skills, you can run multiple implementations in parallel without dropping a ball

Comfortable leading technical conversations with IT staff and non-technical walkthroughs with administrators

Excellent written and verbal communication; your project plans and handoff documents are transparent and complete

HubSpot or similar CRM/project tool experience

K-12 EdTech or education technology experience is a strong asset

Who You Are

Methodical and organized. You build a plan and work it, and you hate leaving loose ends A clear communicator who can switch registers between a district IT director and an assistant principal in the same day A great troubleshooter. When something technical blocks a launch, you dig in and find the path

Accountable for the handoff, not just the launch. You care that the Account Manager has what they need

Calm under pressure. School calendars don't flex, and you don't panic when timelines compress

Mission-aligned. You understand that a smooth implementation isn't just a project milestone; it's what determines whether a school actually gets value from Minga
