Choco is on a mission to enable the global food system to become sustainable by optimizing the way food is sold, ordered, distributed, and financed.

A problem of this magnitude requires a massive scale and only the best people will be able to solve it. Are you in?

Here’s what we’re up to: https://bit.ly/4fyXonB

Choco is scaling rapidly in the UK&I market, and every new customer implementation is critical to long-term success. As our customer base grows, ensuring fast, structured, and high-quality onboarding becomes essential.

As an Implementation Manager, you will own the onboarding and implementation of food distributors joining the Choco platform in the UK&I region. Your role will ensure customers launch successfully, adopt the product quickly, and realize value from day one.

You will be the operational driver of customer implementations: coordinating internal teams and customer stakeholders, managing timelines and dependencies, and ensuring projects move smoothly from post-sale handoff to go-live and Customer Success transition.

What You’ll Do

• Own the end-to-end implementation lifecycle from post-sale handoff through go-live and Customer Success transition
• Drive structured onboarding and implementation programs, ensuring milestones are met and timelines stay on track
• Act as the primary point of contact for customers throughout the implementation journey and manage project scope, timelines, risks, and dependencies across multiple concurrent implementations
• Lead customer kickoff meetings, onboarding sessions, and structured training
• Coordinate cross-functional collaboration across Sales, Customer Success, Product, and Solution Engineering
• Support customers with technical integrations including APIs or ERP systems where required
• Identify risks early, remove blockers, and drive mitigation plans to ensure successful launches and track implementation performance metrics such as time-to-go-live and time-to-first-value
• Contribute to scalable onboarding frameworks including templates, documentation, and implementation playbooks

What You Bring

• 2-4+ years of experience in SaaS implementation, customer onboarding, project management, or similar roles
• Experience managing multiple customer projects simultaneously with clear delivery outcomes
• Strong stakeholder management and customer communication skills, followed by an ability to bring structure and clarity to complex or fast-moving environments
• Proactive mindset with strong ownership and problem-solving ability
• Experience working with cross-functional teams such as Sales, Product, Engineering, and Customer Success
• Familiarity with APIs, ERP systems, or technical integrations
• Comfort operating in a fast-growing startup or scale-up environment
• Fluent English (C1/C2)

Why Choco

• Join a high-performing, ambitious implementation team with real ownership and impact.
• Help to build and refine implementation playbooks, processes, and cadences - not from zero, but at a pivotal scaling moment.
• See clear impact from your work, measured by customer success rather than vanity KPIs.
• Work on a product with purpose and proven traction, driving meaningful adoption in an underserved industry.
• Be part of a culture that values ownership over ego - transparent, collaborative, and execution-focused.
