You will deliver customer implementations, taking enterprise customers from signed contracts to going live on the platform. It's a role where your work shapes both how customers experience Checkfirst and how we run implementations as we grow.
This role suits someone who wants to:
- Lead customer implementations in a fast-growing, early-stage company
- Own the success of multiple customer projects
- Partner closely with experienced teammates in a collaborative, high-trust environment
- Deeply understand customer processes and requirements and influence product direction based on real implementation insights
- Shape how we onboard customers and build repeatable playbooks as we scale
- Develop your craft and grow into a senior or leadership role as the team expands
- Be a part of an AI-native SaaS platform, solving complex problems for regulated enterprises with the help of exciting new technology
Why Checkfirst
Checkfirst is on a mission to help regulated companies do better with the help of AI. Our platform frees up time for teams to focus on meaningful work, while making the world a safer place.
Our platform transforms how enterprise clients manage testing, inspection and certification (TIC). We help our customers move faster and improve quality by automating complex manual workflows. This makes the entire experience better for their customers and employees.
We're a fast-growing, AI-native company, already working with major clients across Europe. We iterate quickly, listen closely to customers, and care deeply about building great software with real impact.
We value clarity over ceremony, autonomy over micromanagement, and direct communication over politics. Day to day work involves close collaboration with customers, a strong sense of ownership, and a focus on shipping software that solves real operational problems in complex, regulated environments.
You'll have real ownership over customer outcomes, direct access to leadership, and the chance to define how we deliver value to enterprise customers.
