[Hiring] Implementation Consultant @Tropic

Role Description

We’re looking for an Implementation Consultant responsible for ensuring customers are set up for long-term success with the Tropic platform. This person will be the first stop for a new customer that signs with Tropic! Their main goals will be to:

We’re helping our customers see systematizing their purchasing as a necessity & true competitive advantage to drive cost savings. Procurement, when done correctly, can enable top-line growth by providing teams with the tools they need to achieve their goals while maintaining maximum flexibility for the ever-changing needs of today’s businesses. This role will identify our customer’s biggest company goals and position Tropic’s role in their future successes.
