Job description

The Machine is Stagwell’s AI orchestration platform powering creative and strategic work across the Stagwell network. It unites data, AI, and human insight to help marketers collaborate better, produce more effective work, and act faster. The Machine team operates at the intersection of product, engineering, design, and strategy, building tools that make agencies and brands smarter.

Coordinate with agency stakeholders, Machine leadership, and Stagwell IT/data infrastructure teams

Track milestones, dependencies, and deliverables to ensure on-time, high-quality launche

Report implementation progress and adoption metrics to leadership

Create and maintain onboarding documentation, training materials, and data setup guides

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

Extensive experience in solutions engineering, onboarding engineering, or implementation management in a SaaS, data, or analytics environment

Strong technical fluency in data systems, APIs, and cloud-based architectures (Google Cloud, Azure, etc.)

Proven success managing complex, multi-stakeholder projects from initiation to delivery

Experience leading technical teams and establishing repeatable onboarding frameworks

Excellent communication and relationship management skills across technical and non-technical audiences

Familiarity with creative agency operations or marketing analytics ecosystems preferred

Comfort working in ambiguity and designing structure in rapidly evolving environments
