Implementation Lead
Who we are
Kiplot enables large organisations to turn their strategy into reality.
Business strategy is about building a plan to be better tomorrow than you are today. Getting this right can be the difference between leading the market and total irrelevance. Kiplot is an enterprise SaaS platform that gives organisations the power to easily plan, prioritise, fund, and manage their projects to deliver on their strategy.
Right now, managing large numbers of projects and interwoven technology roadmaps is a painful issue for Executives and their teams. They feel like they’re flying blind, unable to make sense of the noise generated through endless PowerPoint and Excel reports. Kiplot gives them the capability they need to steer their organisation towards their vision.
This market and problem space (known as PPM) is not new - it's already worth over $4 billion, and is projected to grow by 50% over the next 4 years. But the solutions landscape is dominated by outdated legacy players (most over 15 years old) who can't keep up with the emerging landscape of technology and digital transformation. Successful implementation of Kiplot enables organisations to realise multi-million $ benefits from Kiplot. By example, a Bank in the UK has achieved a 24% increase in their return on investment delivering projects. When you're spending over $100M/year, that's worth more than $24M/year.
Kiplot belongs to a new breed of enterprise software. Beautiful, visual, interactive, easy to use and endlessly configurable without the need for technical expertise or paid support. Our customers rave about the product and the business outcomes it drives for them. Now we just need to get it into the hands of more people.
We are backed by a consortium of angel investors and are about to undertake a significant fund raise. Despite being a young start-up, Kiplot's platform is already relied upon by some of the world’s biggest and best known financial services companies in the UK and abroad (sorry, we can only name some of them publicly). We are looking for fun, extremely smart and exceptionally driven people to join us as we transform ways of working in the enterprise organisations.
About the Role
As an Implementation Lead, you will help new customers unleash the power of Kiplot. This involves working with senior stakeholders in big organisations, driving the transformation of their business processes to make the most of Kiplot. Kiplot is typically used by 100s of users across the enterprise organisation. From Product Owners using Kiplot to align their roadmap to the organisational strategy... to CIO's ensuring that they're maximising the utilisation of their organisation's capacity... to CFO's using Kiplot to enhance their control over project spend. The breadth and depth of exposure to the way the enterprise organisation "ticks", combined with the mandate to transform it, is impossible to find elsewhere.
You will be working in a fun and supportive team of curious, hardworking, and exceptionally driven people who genuinely care about building incredible software to transform the way organisations work.
A typical day will see you:
Work directly with senior stakeholders (including executives) to:
- Work with our customers to help them build and deliver complex, transformative implementation plans for their new business processes
- Run workshops to help design new end-to-end business processes to enable them to exploit the Kiplot Platform
- Build deep, long lasting, "trusted advisor" relationships
- Develop deep expertise in the way multi-billion dollar enterprise organisations operate. From the c-suite to software engineering, from ideation through to execution
Work with the wider Kiplot team to:
- Manage our growing Customer Success team helping us build for scale
- Drive prioritisation on our own product roadmap to ensure we're always focused on the highest value features

You enjoy building powerful relationships with senior stakeholders and believe that the most valuable relationships are based on trust and not subservience.
You run towards complex problems not away from them. You know that nothing worth doing is ever easy.
You enjoy working in an environment that knows how to blend fun with hard work.

- Some experience of Product Management and an understanding of what Agile means in this context
