Managed Services Solutions Lead in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania at ConnectUs Corp

ROLE MISSION

Own the bridge between what a customer needs, what Sales sells, and what ConnectUs delivers. This person uncovers customer problems, translates requirements into an executable Scope of Work, quarterbacks cross functional delivery, and builds repeatable processes and automation that allow Managed Services to scale.

THE OPPORTUNITY

This is not a traditional Project Manager role. The Managed Services Solutions Lead is a customer facing solutions and delivery leader who can move comfortably between discovery calls, solution design, SOW development, implementation leadership, operational problem solving, and process improvement.

The right person takes ownership of the outcome. They make sure the customer, Sales, and delivery teams have the same definition of success before work begins and remain accountable through implementation and operational handoff.

3. Build Scalable Processes, Systems & Automation

• Map current workflows and identify manual steps, bottlenecks, duplicated effort, and tribal knowledge.

• Turn repeatable work into documented SOPs, playbooks, templates, and system driven workflows.

• Partner with technical and development resources to identify opportunities for APIs, integrations, workflow automation, customer self service, and internal automation.
