Position Overview
Fusion Manage PLM supports transformation across engineering, operations, and manufacturing. The Fusion Data Implementation Specialist leads post-sale implementation quality and adoption, ensuring partner services and deliverables are complete, accurate, and aligned with customer requirements. This role helps customers achieve sustained use, satisfaction, and measurable value.
Autodesk’s culture emphasizes curiosity, rapid innovation, and ownership. We believe in “reimagining what is possible,” taking smart risks, and pursuing results with urgency. Within Fusion we live that. You’ll be joining a team that combines the agility of a startup, the backing of a global leader, and a passion for meaningful change in manufacturing.
Working with customers, implementation partners, Sales, Customer Success, Support, Product, and Engineering, you connect customer goals with product capabilities from sales handoff through go-live and ongoing adoption. Pre-sales support is a secondary responsibility, focused on sound scoping and a realistic path to delivery.
Why Fusion, Why Now
Manufacturers are modernizing to improve how product information and workflows move across their organizations. This role helps make that change practical through dependable partner delivery, customer-ready implementation, and adoption that continues after go-live.
This is a fast-moving organization. Expectations are high. Technical sellers who thrive here know how to simplify complexity, build trust fast, and move deals forward with confidence.
This will be a remote position.
Responsibilities
- Set expectations for partner delivery quality, project plans, deliverables, and customer handoffs
- Review partner scope, plans, and outputs—including workflows, configuration, data migration and quality, integrations, training, and documentation—for completeness, accuracy, and alignment with customer requirements
- Track delivery risks and gaps, agree on corrective actions with partners and internal teams, and follow through to resolution
- Use recurring findings to coach partners, improve enablement, and strengthen repeatable delivery practices
- Build adoption plans around customer outcomes, priority workflows, stakeholder readiness, and success measures
- Monitor implementation and post-launch usage; identify barriers in process, data, configuration, training, or change readiness and coordinate support
- Gather customer feedback, resolve or escalate concerns, and communicate clearly through implementation and transition to ongoing use
- Coordinate with Sales, Customer Success, Support, Product, Engineering, and partners to maintain clear ownership and a consistent customer experience
- Share delivery and adoption insights to improve services, inform product feedback, and strengthen future customer engagements
In a pre-sales capacity, support Fusion Data Sales Specialists with discovery, workflow mapping, requirements and data-flow reviews, and solution walkthroughs. Co-scope partner services, integrations, migrations, and deployment plans; surface assumptions and risks so proposed approaches are technically sound and deliverable.
Qualifications
- Deep experience in PLM, manufacturing systems, product development, quality management, customer success, professional services, partner delivery, or enterprise software implementation
- Extensive knowledge of product development processes such as change management, bills of material, document control, and configuration management
- Ability to assess implementation plans and deliverables and connect customer requirements to workflows, data, integrations, and configuration with a focus on standards and consistency
- Strong customer communication, facilitation, and issue-resolution skills; confidence with technical teams and executive stakeholders
- Ability to use project data, customer feedback, and usage indicators to identify adoption risks and improvement opportunities
- Pre-sales capability in discovery, workflow mapping, solution walkthroughs, and partner services scoping; able to influence across teams in a fast-moving environment
- Travel Requirement: 30%
The Ideal Candidate
- Partner deliverables meet standards for completeness, accuracy, and customer alignment, with fewer defects, avoidable rework cycles, and unresolved gaps
- Customers meet adoption milestones, use standardized Fusion Manage workflows, and report strong satisfaction during implementation and after launch
- Delivery and adoption risks are identified early, communicated clearly, and resolved promptly
- Pre-sales guidance supports realistic service scoping and smooth transitions into delivery

Entry Level Payroll Implementation Specialist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level payroll implementation specialist job?
Employers hiring at the entry level look for candidates who understand payroll fundamentals, have exposure to HR or accounting software through coursework or internships, and can demonstrate attention to detail in data-heavy work. Certifications like the Fundamental Payroll Certification give new candidates a concrete credential to show alongside any school or hands-on project experience, which helps when a resume is otherwise thin.
Which companies hire entry level payroll implementation specialists?
Companies hiring entry level payroll implementation specialists right now include Paylocity, Apple, and Corpay, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Hiring at this level tends to come from HR technology vendors, payroll software companies, and professional employer organizations that build internal teams to onboard new clients onto their platforms.
Are there remote entry level payroll implementation specialist jobs?
Yes, though availability varies by employer and role scope. About 38% of entry level payroll implementation specialist openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the software-driven nature of the work. Junior candidates willing to work on-site may find more options overall, since some employers prefer in-person training for new team members learning complex payroll systems.
Are these new grad payroll implementation specialist jobs?
Yes, many of these postings are new grad roles that explicitly welcome recent graduates and junior candidates with little or no professional experience. A new grad-friendly posting typically calls for zero to two years of experience, accepts an internship or relevant coursework in place of full-time history, or lists a payroll or accounting degree as the primary qualification rather than requiring prior implementation work.
Which industries hire the most entry level payroll implementation specialists?
Entry Level payroll implementation specialist roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Accounting & Auditing, and Electronics & Hardware, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive hiring at the entry level because they either operate large in-house payroll functions that need junior support staff or sell payroll software products that require implementation teams to onboard and train business clients.
