Responsiv Overview
Responsiv is building the leading regulatory operating system for compliance, legal, and risk teams. Too many compliance leaders are still stuck stitching together fragmented alerts, manual spreadsheets, inconsistent sources, and disconnected pieces of advice, just to figure out what a regulation requires them to do. Responsiv solves this end-to-end, giving teams the ability to:
• Build and manage their regulatory universe: Create and maintain registers of the complex laws, rules, and regulations that apply to their business, across every jurisdiction and regulator they answer to.
• Cut through the noise: Filter and route relevant regulatory alerts to the right owners, so teams focus only on the changes that actually matter.
• Turn legal text into action: Translate dense regulatory language into clear, actionable obligations and requirements.
• Find gaps before regulators do: Map new requirements against existing policies, procedures, and controls to surface gaps and recommend the changes needed to close them.
• Move from finding to fix: Automatically draft policy and control updates, and track remediation through a defensible audit trail.
• Get back to the business faster: Understand the regulatory context behind situations existing policies don't cover, so the business can keep moving.
We are entering the market at a genuine inflection point. Nearly half of compliance organizations still use no dedicated regulatory intelligence technology today, and this category now has the highest purchase intent of any compliance technology segment — yet buyers are rightly skeptical of vendors making big AI promises without proof. That's exactly why we built Responsiv — a market-leading platform designed to deliver high-impact, defensible results. There's a clear opportunity to become the trusted partner compliance teams need.

Strategic Implementation Lead Overview
Responsiv is hiring a Strategic Implementation Lead to own the customer journey from pre-sale solution design through implementation, adoption, and value realization.
This is a senior individual contributor role for someone who can blend:
• Implementation — configuring and launching the product successfully
• Customer Success — driving adoption, value realization, and referenceability
• Solutions — translating customer problems into credible Responsiv workflows and responding to RFPs
The ideal candidate is a former consultant, regulatory change practitioner, compliance transformation operator, or legal/compliance technology implementation lead who understands how regulated organizations actually change processes — not just how software is deployed.
This person will work directly with customers, prospects, Sales, Product, Design, and Engineering to make Responsiv successful in complex regulated environments.
Own Strategic Customer Implementations
You will own implementations from kickoff through value realization. That means leading customer kickoff, implementation planning, workflow design, configuration, launch, and adoption. You will help customers define success criteria, prioritize use cases, align stakeholders, and create the operating cadence needed to make Responsiv successful.
This role is not just about getting customers live. It is about ensuring customers use Responsiv in meaningful regulatory, legal, compliance, and risk workflows. You will be responsible for helping customers build the process around the product, including governance, cadence, roles, approvals, escalation paths, and operating routines. Software alone does not transform a compliance program; this role is responsible for making sure Responsiv becomes embedded in how customers actually work.
Lead Pre-Sale Customer Discovery to build the Customer's Regulatory Foundation
You will help customers build the regulatory foundation required for Responsiv to deliver useful outputs. That starts with understanding the customer’s business model, products, services, jurisdictions, regulators, licenses, permissions, policies, controls, procedures, and existing compliance processes. You will translate that discovery into credible solution designs, tailored product demonstrations, proof-of-value plans, implementation assumptions, and clear recommendations for how Responsiv should be configured and positioned. You will help ensure regulatory alerts are properly scoped and relevant. You will ensure their gap analysis is actionable and defensible. This requires knowledge of both the law and the customer.
Refine the Customer's Obligation Register
Responsiv helps customers build and maintain their register of obligations. Your role is to guide the final refinement: making sure obligations are described, organized, and scoped in a way that supports useful monitoring, alerting, impact assessment, gap analysis, and downstream policy or control updates.
Be the Connective Tissue between Customers and Product
Implementations are where the product meets reality. You will be one of Responsiv’s strongest sources of customer insight because you will see how customers actually use the product, where they get stuck, and what capabilities would make implementations more repeatable and valuable.
Operate well in a fast-paced environment.
Build competence in our industry and product. You will have high expectations for our team and of yourself as we expect to get work done with quality and speed. You will own the SLAs to respond quickly to prospect and customer questions, as well as internal colleagues. Your ability to adapt, shift and change quickly as the environment changes will give you an edge in your selling position as we are learning frequently and inserting improvements into our business and processes.
