- Run discovery sessions to understand customer goals and tailor onboarding plans that accelerate time-to-value.
- Deliver high-impact training and enablement sessions that help customers confidently adopt Hive.
- Build strong relationships with high value / new customers, understand their objectives, and reinforce the value of Hive in achieving them.
- Identify patterns, gaps, and opportunities to improve our onboarding process and operations and lead initiatives to optimize and scale it.
- Create or refine onboarding frameworks, templates, documentation, and customer-facing enablement content.
- Track and report on onboarding metrics (e.g., time to go-live, adoption benchmarks), using these insights to drive continuous improvement.
- Help customers clearly articulate their goals—even when they’re unsure—translating these into actionable onboarding plans.
- Proactively surface risks, communicate timelines, and ensure a smooth transition to long-term success teams.
- Provide feedback loops to Product and CS based on recurring customer needs, patterns, and insights from your team.
- Mentor and support a team of onboarding specialists, helping them grow in delivery, customer communication, and project management.
- Serve as a point of escalation for risks, blockers, or complex onboarding scenarios.
- Model “what great looks like” through your personal client work, communication style, and problem-solving approach.
Requirements
- 3+ years in onboarding, customer training, or implementation—preferably in SaaS.
- Experience mentoring others, leading processes, or operating as a senior member of a CS team (formal management experience is a plus but not required).

- Strong communication skills—you can lead a room, simplify complex concepts, and build trust quickly.
- Familiarity with SaaS tools and customer success platforms (HubSpot experience is a plus).
