Role Overview: What will you work on?

As an Senior Engagement Manager at CivCheck, you'll own the end-to-end delivery of implementations across city partners: ensuring projects meet timelines, deliver measurable transformation to their permitting processes, and build lasting trust with stakeholders from mayors and CIOs to plan reviewers and private-sector applicants. You'll bring a blend of strategic advisory, rigorous project management, and empathy-led stakeholder engagement to drive success across multiple concurrent projects.

If you're energized by a fast-paced environment, have a proven track record of leading complex teams, and are committed to elevating implementation services to drive data-backed customer success stories, this role is a great fit.

This includes developing and managing project governance plans, project schedules, team goals, project milestones, budgets, and defining and measuring success criteria.
• Champion a delivery culture grounded in structured, data-backed metrics and storytelling. Connect delivery performance to tangible government outcomes, like reduced permitting times, faster intake cycles, measurable throughput improvements, and arm key stakeholders with the data-backed success stories that build lasting trust.
• Design and implement repeatable delivery frameworks, structured retrospectives, and customer feedback loops that allow CivCheck to scale across new city partners without sacrificing quality or speed.
• Serve as a trusted advisor to city leadership, department leads, and end users, facilitating alignment across diverse stakeholders by surfacing shared goals and clarifying competing motivations.
• Implement quality control processes and proactively identify and mitigate risks, issues, and concerns associated with service delivery, client relationships, and project execution.
• Hold internal and external teams accountable, escalate when needed, and manage customer expectations throughout engagements.
• Lead recurring executive and steering check-ins, connecting project progress to city outcomes in a way that resonates with both operational and executive audiences.
• Build city personas and playbooks that translate project-level insights into organizational learning and product feedback loops.
• Mentor Implementation Consultants and Technical Account Managers on client engagement and delivery excellence.
• Surface customer insights that influence CivCheck's product roadmap.
• Provide regular reports and updates to the CivCheck COO on the performance and progress of all assigned projects.

• Outstanding written, verbal communication, and presentation skills with team members and audiences of all levels in technical and business settings. 

Key Qualifications: What do you bring to the team?

• 8–10+ years of experience leading and delivering enterprise-level engagements in a SaaS or professional services environment, with a track record of managing complex, multi-stakeholder projects end-to-end.
• Track record of building excellent relationships with executive stakeholders and leading delivery for large transformation projects.
