At Toolio, we’re on a mission to help retailers navigate the complex, competitive, and ever-changing retail landscape so they can deliver what their customers want—when and where they want it. Merchandise planning is one of the most critical retail disciplines, yet it has long been dominated by manual, error-prone spreadsheets. As inventory risk continues to rise, accurate, agile planning has never been more important.
Toolio’s cloud-based merchandise planning platform helps next-generation retailers automate critical workflows, gain real-time insights, and make faster, data-driven merchandising decisions. Toolio is trusted by 100+ leading brands and retailers including Rothy’s, Knix, Filson, Tommy John, Peloton and more.
We are hiring a Project Manager to own the end-to-end onboarding experience for new Toolio customers—from contract signature through successful go-live.
In this role, you are the single-threaded owner of implementation success. You will lead complex onboarding projects, align internal and customer stakeholders, manage scope and timelines, and ensure customers are fully configured, trained, and ready to operate independently on Toolio at go-live.
This role is highly cross-functional and execution-focused. You will work closely with Sales, Implementation Specialists, Solution Consultants, Product, Engineering, Support, and Customer Success to deliver predictable, high-quality implementations. After go-live, you will hand off the customer to a Customer Success Manager who owns long-term adoption, value realization, and retention.
This is a critical role in shaping Toolio’s customer experience, implementation rigor, and scalability as we grow.

4+ years of experience in project management, customer implementation, professional services, or customer success within a SaaS environment.
Proven ownership of complex, cross-functional implementations from kickoff through go-live.
Experience with data-heavy software implementations strongly preferred.
Background in retail SaaS, planning systems, or merchandising-related workflows is a plus.
Strong project management fundamentals, including scoping, planning, risk mitigation, and dependency management.
Highly organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to manage multiple implementations in parallel.
Clear, confident communicator with comfort engaging both operators and executive stakeholders.
Ownership-driven and proactive, with a solutions-oriented approach to problem solving.
Comfortable operating in ambiguity and bringing structure to fast-moving environments.
Calm under pressure, collaborative, and execution-focused.
Experience with project management tools (e.g., Smartsheet), customer success platforms (e.g., Vitally), and/or CRM systems (e.g., Salesforce).
This role is foundational to Toolio’s success. Great implementations create confident customers, strong adoption, and long-term partnerships. As the owner of onboarding execution, you will directly shape customer trust, product perception, and long-term outcomes.
Come build the future of retail planning with us.
Toolio is a distributed team with headquarters in NYC and offices in Turkey backed by top VCs and apparel industry executives. Toolio was founded in 2019 by Eytan Daniyalzade and Berk Atikoglu, serial entrepreneurs who have worked together for more than 10 years. Their previous company, Stylr, was acquired by Walmart Labs in 2014. At Walmart, they lead teams that delivered various groundbreaking products like Sam’s Club Scan & Go and Walmart Pay which reach millions of users and process billions of dollars each year. While at Walmart they got to see that the tools used by planners and merchants were years behind the technology they had built for consumers. So they set out on a mission to change this by building a modern merchandising platform, Toolio.
Toolio is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
