This Onboarding & Implementation Manager role gets new customers set up and getting value quickly. In Phase 1 it combines two jobs: building each new customer's dashboards and running onboarding for a share of new customers (about 10 a month). In Phase 2, dashboard builds are automated and the role shifts it's time to onboarding calls and training. This phase will introduce more opportunity to be a process builder, as we begin rolling out a tech-touch onboarding tier.

Responsibilities

• Build customer dashboards for every new customer ahead of and during onboarding (manual in Phase 1; automated in Phase 2).
• Run onboarding for about 10 new customers a month, through calls, training, and onboarding material. You own the customer for the first 28 days and are responsible for building sustainable habits that start with adoption.
• Track onboarding progress in the customer success platform so status and risk are visible to the team.
• Hand off cleanly to Success: pass each customer to their CSM with their goals, progress, and any open issues.
• Work with Data Validation to ensure handover between the two responsibilities is smooth.
• Improve the program: share what's working and what isn't in onboarding material and delivery.
