The team
The EMEA team is a group of people who come from all over the world to help grow our ever expanding region in a great environment. It’s not unusual to see us enjoying a meal or drinks together in our lovely office at the heart of Paris. What drives us is the desire to have an impact and make the European region shine whilst acting as one team, and a fun one!
The role
As a Paris-based Implementation Manager, you will be responsible for the successful implementation of GoCardless by newly signed businesses looking to take bank payments (e.g. SEPA, Instant Bank Pay, Bacs and ACH) from their customers in France & across the globe utilizing our global payments network.
Day to day, you will:
- Kickoff French and European Quickstart implementations with a high volume of merchants.
- Monitor these merchants as they go through a digital onboarding experience. Use data and proactively engage as required to help the merchants successfully activate and transact on the GoCardless platform.
- Liaise with the relevant teams internally to get your merchants ready for payment collections as quickly as possible or in time to meet any agreed deadlines.
- Become an expert in our onboarding playbooks and best practices.
- Develop your communication skills to reach a level of clear and compelling intent through every merchant interaction. These engagements can take the form of email, chat, phone calls, video conferencing or in-person meetings.
- Take on more complex mid-market and enterprise implementations (at first in a supporting capacity and eventually leading each of the merchants within your portfolio) through the relevant milestones of their onboarding journey. Ensure any sticking points are identified and resolved quickly.
- Collaborate with Customer Success Managers (CSMs) to develop risk mitigation strategies to guide customers through their implementation within the expected timeframe, enabling them to achieve their desired outcomes.
