Create project status reports, to track the delivery of the project with regards to timelines, dependencies and risks

Use Dayshape software internally to manage project financials and take accountability for the success of the project

Be firm with the client and manage a tight scope, making concessions or changes intentionally and tracking dependencies closely

Follow a change control process and coordinate with Finance to raise any necessary invoices for changes

Work closely with the product and engineering teams to ensure that any critical development for this implementation is on track and fit for purpose

Thoroughly understand Dayshape and how our customers use it, in order to propose the best solutions.

Work with our implementation consultants to manage the data migration process

Coordinate planning and delivery of customer training

Ultimately hand over the relationship to Customer Support and Account Management following the successful conclusion of the implementation
