About Sedna

Sedna is at the forefront of revolutionising global trade, serving as the North Star for businesses navigating the complexities of international commerce. Our AI-powered platform is designed to make global trade more efficient, transparent, and sustainable. As we continue to grow and innovate, we are looking for exceptional talent to join our journey and contribute to our mission of transforming global trade.

As an implementation focused Delivery Manager Sedna’s suite of maritime solutions, we are seeking a SaaS experienced individual contributor to join our Customer Operations team in London.

Role Overview

The Implementation Manager owns the delivery of Sedna implementations across some of our most complex and exciting customer relationships. This is a role with real scope, ownership, and the opportunity to make a difference to how customers experience Sedna from day one.

Our customers are shipping and logistics businesses. They are operationally focused, commercially driven, and often undertaking significant change when they adopt Sedna. The person in this role has the opportunity to earn trust quickly, build credibility in a critical industry, and deliver implementations that truly transform how customers work.

This role suits someone who thrives on variety, enjoys the human side of change management as much as the technical side, and wants to be accountable for outcomes rather than just activities. Maritime or shipping experience is strongly preferred, because the ability to speak credibly to our customers about their world is an advantage in this role.

Key Responsibilities

Implementation Delivery

Own the full implementation lifecycle for a concurrent portfolio of customer projects: kick-off, technical configuration, integration, testing, training, go-live, and hypercare. You will have the autonomy to make the decisions that keep projects moving and the support of a strong team behind you.

Stakeholder Management

Serve as the primary point of contact across the project for both internal and customer-side stakeholders, from business users through to C-suite. You will facilitate technical and functional discussions, build alignment across different groups, and communicate project status clearly and with confidence.

Complex Account Ownership

For accounts that need continuity and careful handling post-go-live, you will remain the accountable delivery contact. You will spot risk early and address it proactively, building the kind of relationships that make customers feel well looked after.

On-Site Engagement

Travel to customer sites internationally to contribute to training delivery with our Education team, and manage critical project milestones in person. On-site engagement is a meaningful part of this role and one of the most rewarding, with the opportunity to work directly with customer teams across global shipping hubs.

Technical Troubleshooting

Get hands-on with configuration, data mapping, and integration work where needed, supported by Solution Consulting and Engineering. The expectation is that you can lead the resolution process and keep customers informed throughout.

Change Management

Build and execute communication and stakeholder engagement plans that bring customers through the change journey with confidence. Training plans, adoption milestones, and early usage signals all sit within your remit, supported by our Education and Success teams.

Process Improvement

Bring what you learn in the field back into how the team operates. Insights from live implementations are some of the most valuable inputs we have, and this role is well placed to drive meaningful improvements.

What Success Looks Like

In the first 90 days

You are running at least one enterprise implementation independently, have taken ownership of your customer portfolio, and have embedded well enough in the team to understand the product and where the process has room to improve.

By end of year one

You are managing a full concurrent portfolio with confidence. Customers you have worked with would describe the experience as organised, credible, and valuable. You have contributed at least one meaningful improvement to how the team delivers, and you have a clear sense of where you want to take your career from here.
