The Opportunity

Faro is looking for a Director, Implementation Services to lead the technical implementation of our platform across customer environments. This role sits at the intersection of customer delivery, infrastructure, data integration, and AI configuration, and is responsible for ensuring each customer can securely connect, configure, and operationalize Faro within its existing technology ecosystem.

The role has three core areas of technical ownership: (1) customer infrastructure setup, including SSO, identity provider configuration, service accounts, and API integrations; (2) mapping customer and third-party data fields to Faro’s structured data model using JSON-based configurations; and (3) developing and refining custom AI prompts that support document ingestion and protocol authoring workflows.

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who is equally comfortable working with customer IT teams, troubleshooting technical implementation issues, translating data requirements into configuration, and building repeatable delivery approaches. You will partner closely with Faro DevOps, Product, and Engineering while owning the customer-side implementation from technical discovery through go-live.

What You’ll Do

• Lead end-to-end technical implementation of Faro across customer environments, translating requirements into secure, scalable configurations, integrations, and workflows.
• Own infrastructure setup with customer IT and Faro DevOps, including environments, SSO/SAML and identity provider configuration, user access, service accounts, APIs, and other technical prerequisites for go-live.
• Scope, coordinate, and troubleshoot API integrations and system connections, working across customer IT, DevOps, Product, and Engineering to resolve issues and keep implementations moving.
• Define, configure, validate, and troubleshoot JSON-based field mappings that connect customer and third-party data to Faro’s structured data model and downstream systems.
• Develop, test, and refine custom AI prompts that support customer-specific data ingestion and protocol authoring workflows, including extracting, classifying, transforming, and structuring clinical content.
• Translate customer requirements into practical technical solutions, including configuration changes, scripts, workflow adaptations, data transformations, and third-party connections.
• Build repeatable implementation playbooks, standards, and processes that improve consistency and time-to-value as Faro scales.
• Manage a Project Manager responsible for implementation timelines and deliverables, and partner closely with Customer Strategy, Solutions Onboarding, Product Experience, Product, DevOps, and Engineering.
