Senior Implementation Manager

Meet Ascertain

Ascertain is building AI agents to automate the administrative work that burdens care teams. We are in major health systems and large specialty groups, saving hundreds of staff hours every week.

Our backers include Northwell Health, New York's largest health system, and Deerfield Management, a leading healthcare investment firm.

Together, we're on a mission to restore time, trust, and focus to the people who keep healthcare running. Our work is urgent not because of startup timelines, but because our customers rely on us to drive financial resilience and operational clarity in a system under strain.

About the Job

As a Senior Implementation and Engagement Manager, you will lead post-sale success and retention efforts for Ascertain's most important partners. This role is ideal for someone with experience in healthcare technology, SaaS implementation, or healthcare consulting who's ready to build a high-impact function from the ground up.

You will own end-to-end customer success after the initial sale: overseeing pilot delivery, driving change management and adoption, and ensuring long-term retention and expansion. You'll work directly with care management and revenue cycle teams to make sure our platform integrates smoothly into their daily workflows, delivering real, measurable value.

You will manage end-to-end deployments, from initial implementations to ongoing customer success initiatives and onboarding for future products. You'll partner closely with Sales, Product, Engineering, and Marketing to ensure each deployment delivers measurable impact, provides clear ROI metrics for go-to-market decisions, and sets the stage for seamless adoption of our offerings.

This is a hands-on, high-ownership role for an operator who is comfortable in ambiguity and focused on reducing it. You use data to drive decisions and turn complex workflows into clear, repeatable systems. You'll help define our partner success strategy, build scalable SOPs and playbooks, and shape the partner experience.

This position is remote with up to 25% travel to support customer implementations and key deployments.

• Leverage Impact Metrics: Use established KPIs (e.g., time saved, turnaround reduction) to demonstrate ROI and support customer expansion strategies.

• Collaborate with Commercial. Upsell and cross sell new products to established customers; and then develop a scalable customer-success framework (onboarding, training, support, upsell).
