Each year, roughly 10% of an employer's workforce experiences a significant personal event that requires a leave of absence. Once thought of as a compliance risk, leave is now recognized by leading employers as a critical moment in the employee journey.

At Veer, we believe every employee deserves the time and support needed to thrive. We work with HR leaders at leading enterprise employers to transform the leave experience—moving beyond the \"DMV-like\" processes of forms, wait times, and confusion. Our digital and mobile platform guides employees from leave planning through return to work, ensuring a smooth, supportive transition.

The results speak for themselves: higher employee satisfaction, stronger operational effectiveness, and greater business continuity. Today, we're reinventing a $10+ billion industry. Tomorrow, we aspire to help make paid leave a universal human right.

In your first year, you'll:

• Successfully lead 3-5 enterprise implementations from kickoff to launch
• Identify and implement AI-driven automation opportunities that reduce implementation time by 20%+ (e.g., automated requirement gathering, documentation generation, testing scripts, customer communication)
• Build repeatable processes and documentation that reduce engineering dependency over time
• Become a trusted advisor to customer stakeholders on leave program strategy
• Identify product gaps and advocate for improvements based on customer feedback
• Help us scale the implementation function by mentoring future team members

What we are looking for (required)

• 5+ years of experience in enterprise software implementation, project management, or a customer-facing advisory/consulting role in a fast-paced B2B SaaS company
• Enthusiastic about leveraging AI tools to automate repetitive work, scale implementations, and enhance the customer experience. You're constantly asking \"how can we do this faster/better with AI?\" rather than defaulting to manual processes.
