As Implementation Specialists, we are responsible for guiding and helping Plaid’s most strategic customers and partners integrate with Plaid products, our API and technology. We work closely with both Revenue and Partnerships Account Managers in addition to many other internal teams such as Sales, Product, and Support. In this role, you will be responsible for the implementation phase in the customer lifecycle and ensure net-new Plaid customers and partners are properly onboarded and our solution is implemented and launched. This stage is incredibly important in the success of our clients, as for many, their Plaid integration is the foundation of their application and / or platform. Behind each successful launch is an Implementation Specialist that provides superior technical guidance and support to make it all possible.
You will be a highly visible technical and product expert in Plaid’s offerings, learning and knowing how to work with and leverage the Plaid API. You’ll work with clients to answer their technical product or integration questions. When technical issues arise, you’ll leverage internal tools, teams, and resources to ensure customers meet their development / integration milestones. In collaboration with Account Managers, you will support clients as they test, pilot and ultimately launch their Plaid integrations. Members of the Implementation team are expected to manage many implementations / customers and partners simultaneously, and to stay up to date on Plaid’s technological improvements and new product offerings.
