Who we are looking for
As part of the Professional Services organization within Mercatus, the primary goal of the Program Manager will be ensuring successful Implementation and Configuration Services ("ICS") to meet customer requirements while promoting customer adoption and providing a channel for the sale of other company Software and Services. This role is extremely critical as it takes the handoff of a client from a finalized Sales contract to ensuring that customer is effectively on-boarded (a consulting engagement that could last several months). As a new hire on this team in high growth phase, this person has the unique opportunity to also support business development efforts heavily throughout the sales process. As such, the role is equal parts Sales, Client Management, and Operations, and it works closely with every area within the company while gaining a deep understanding of all areas of the business. The Program Manager will be the key interface to customer success and have consistent exposure to large private markets funds and multi-national companies.
