Implementation Manager - UKG Ready

 

Growth, Impact & Ownership

At TalentPro, the Implementation Manager plays a pivotal role in shaping how client implementations are delivered. You’ll work with a growing mid‑market client base, lead a trusted implementation team, and have the opportunity to put your fingerprints on processes, tools, and outcomes. This is a role for someone who wants to move beyond simply “running the project” and toward owning the success of both clients and people in a fast‑growing organization where thoughtful leadership and execution truly matter.

 

Why TalentPro?
TalentPro delivers comprehensive payroll, HR, and time management solutions that support clients across the United States.

 

We believe our work matters. We are driven by the impact we create—for our customers, our communities, and each other. We believe that every voice counts, and that meaningful contribution is not limited by title or tenure. Collaboration, curiosity, and courage fuel our progress, and together, we build a culture where everyone belongs and everyone contributes.
