About the Role
Job Summary:
The Customer Implementation Specialist is an essential, internal function that supports Filevine Sales and our Certified Implementation Partners (CIP). The role's primary goal is to ensure a successful start to implementation by establishing correct expectations, project scope, and partner fit for every customer. This function focuses on coordinating internal teams and partners to align on best practices.
By intervening before and during the transition to implementation, this role helps improve the quality of discovery and overall readiness. This proactive approach significantly reduces the risk of rework, escalations, and misalignment in later stages, ultimately delivering a smoother and more successful implementation experience for Filevine customers.

Refine activities to thoroughly document customer processes, technical landscape, requirements, and KPIs upfront.
Validate implementation-relevant details, assumptions, and expectations by reviewing Sales and discovery calls for accuracy before issuing quotes.
Help Sales and Partners align customers to the right implementation partner based on implementation complexity (for example, basic setup versus complex implementation).
Partner & Scope Alignment
Validate Certified Implementation Partners’ Statements of Work (SOWs) to ensure scope aligns with customer needs uncovered during discovery.
Improve CIP quote accuracy by ensuring partners are working from complete and accurate discovery inputs.
Address gaps earlier in the process to reduce the need for post-quote discovery calls, rework, and clarifications.
Guide partner selection based on compatibility to ensure a more balanced and diverse distribution.
