The work is cross-functional by default; Payroll Operations, Customer Experience and Sales, as well as Product and Engineering, all having a stake in whether an implementation is successful. You will also be building a team, and the PMs you hire will set the standard for what customers experience in their first interactions with Remote. This role is critical to getting customers off to a good start and building a solid foundation upon which they can grow with the Remote.

Be the escalation point when a project loses focus or gets behind. Resolve the immediate challenge and then address the root cause to ensure it is not repeated.
