Role Description

We're hiring an Onboarding Specialist to own the customer onboarding experience end-to-end.

• Playbook & Process Building

  • Document onboarding workflows and continuously improve them
• Handoffs & Cross-Functional Coordination

  • Set clear expectations with customers on steps, timelines, and responsibilities
  • Hand accounts to the CS team with strong notes and context once onboarding is complete
  • Collaborate with Support to ensure smooth transitions for technical issues
• Tracking & Reporting

  • Collaborate with Product and Support to improve the onboarding experience
  • Contribute to the Voice of Customer program by surfacing patterns and insights

Qualifications

• Practical troubleshooting ability — you can figure out integrations and explain them simply
• Experience with helpdesk or CRM platforms (Zendesk, Intercom, HubSpot, Freshdesk, Salesforce, etc.)
• Organized and process-oriented — clear notes, repeatable workflows, no dropped balls
• Available for night shift: 9 PM – 6 AM PHT
