About Willow

About Willow Buildings are more complex than ever — and the teams responsible for running them are still working with fragmented tools, disconnected data, and reactive workflows. Willow is changing that. Backed by NEA.

About the role

You’ll own the end-to-end delivery of customer onboarding, from kickoff to live value — leading the internal teams that connect, model, and activate each building, and serve as the customer’s trusted technical partner throughout.

What they're looking for

  • Own the end-to-end deployment lifecycle (pre-deployment, deployment, and post-deployment) against clear milestones and the Definition of Done, driving on-time, on-value delivery
  • Lead and coordinate cross-functional, cross-group teams (integration, data, SMEs, Solutions Architects, Sales, and Product) across regions, managing dependencies and clean hand-offs
  • Prioritize competing demands across multiple customers and workstreams, balancing speed, quality, and value
  • Navigate and resolve conflicts across teams and with customers, aligning stakeholders on scope, trade-offs, and decisions
  • Manage risks and escalations, and provide clear status and value reporting to customers and internal leadership
  • Partner with customers to understand their needs, providing expert guidance and training on Willow’s product and the Skills library
