Implementation Specialist - Remote

May 14, 2026 Auto Import

The Implementation Specialist owns the post-sale onboarding and rollout of Coast, from kickoff through go-live and handoff to Customer Success. This is a technical, project-oriented role—not frontline support. You'll spend the majority of your time translating complex, real-world operational workflows from industries like facilities management, manufacturing, healthcare field services, and hospitality into Coast configurations that actually work for teams in the field.That means running discovery to understand how a maintenance team or field operation really works, then designing and building automations, configuring integrations, and structuring the platform so customers can adopt it quickly and confidently. You'll juggle multiple implementations in parallel, ranging from fast-moving rollouts to complex, multi-phase deployments—and you'll be expected to manage both without dropping the ball.The Implementation Specialist will work closely with Customer Success, Product, and Engineering, and will primarily support customers in North America while being based in the Philippines.<h3 dir="auto">What You'll Do</h3><ul dir="auto"><li dir="ltr">Lead end‑to‑end implementation projects from kickoff through go‑live and handoff, managing scope, milestones, and risks across multiple simultaneous accounts</li><li dir="ltr">Run deep discovery sessions to understand customer workflows, operational environments, and technical constraints—then translate that into a concrete configuration and automation plan.</li><li dir="ltr">Design and build automations using Coast's native triggers and rules engine.</li><li dir="ltr">Configure Coast fully: settings, user roles and permissions, data structures, workflow templates, and integrations aligned to each customer's operational reality.</li><li dir="ltr">Coordinate data migration, testing, and validation with customer and internal technical teams.</li><li dir="ltr">Learn unfamiliar industries quickly. Our customers work in facilities, manufacturing plants, healthcare field operations, and hospitality.
