The Opportunity
This is a true entry-level role built for someone who is ready to begin their career in FinTech. As an Implementation Associate, you will be a junior member of the Stream US Implementation team, supporting the onboarding of new clients across our Small and Medium Business (SMB) portfolio. This is a ground-floor opportunity to learn the full lifecycle of implementation - from the first kickoff call through to a client going live - while working alongside an experienced team that will invest in your growth.
You will report directly to the Head of US Implementation, but will primarily work day-to-day in support of our Implementation Managers, who will guide your work and help you build the skills to run projects.
What You'll Be Doing
- Preparing and executing kickoff calls: Coordinate sales handover. Schedule, prepare for, and execute kickoff calls with new SMB clients. You'll be the one keeping things organized and ensuring clients feel confident from day one.
- Track decisions and configurations: Keep a clear record of client decisions, configuration choices, and open items so nothing falls through the cracks.
- Support launch day: Be hands-on and ready for feedback on go-live day, help the team monitor activity, resolve issues in real time, and ensure a smooth experience for clients and their employees.
- Assist with configuration: Learn the various Stream configurations and help set up the Stream platform for new clients, working closely with Implementation Managers
- Support the team: Wherever the team needs help - whether that's pulling together project status updates, coordinating with internal teams, or jumping on a client call - you're ready to contribute.
Who We Are Looking For
- A recent graduate ready to get to work: You've recently finished your degree (or are about to) and you're eager to get started. You don't need experience in FinTech - you need the drive to learn it fast.
- Genuinely curious about FinTech: You're interested in how financial tools can make a real difference in people's lives. You want to understand the product you're helping to deliver, not just execute tasks.
- A can-do attitude: No task is too small. You jump in, figure it out, and get it done. When something is harder than expected, you push through rather than step back.
- Organized and detail-oriented: You're someone who takes pride in keeping things accurate, up to date, and easy for others to follow.
- A team player: You enjoy being part of a team and learning from people around you. You ask good questions, take feedback well, and look for ways to be useful.

Standing Out

- Ask great questions. Curiosity and intellectual honesty will take you far here.
