- Familiarity with customer engagement tools like Intercom, HubSpot, Pendo, Jira, and Looker.
- A data-informed approach to onboarding, client behavior, and performance reporting.
Key Objectives and Responsibilities
- Own the onboarding experience for all new clients (DP1 with Creative Services) from post-sale through Day 30.
- Act as the client's primary point of contact during onboarding, providing clarity, confidence, and care from Day 1.
- Partner with Customer Success Managers and Production Supervisors to ensure correct CDA (Customer Designer Allocation) setup, recalibration, and service alignment.
- Coordinate delivery of first-request Surprise & Delight experiences—ranging from elevated design touches to non-creative gifts or gestures.
- Lead kickoff calls and asynchronous welcome messages, tailored to service level and client type.
- Guide clients through platform orientation, brand profile setup, and ticket submission best practices.
- Monitor onboarding checklists, customer activity, and early risk signals using tools like HubSpot and Pendo.
- Track onboarding progress and report weekly insights, trends, and friction points to internal stakeholders.
- Partner with Product, CX, and Ops teams to recommend improvements based on onboarding data and client feedback.
- Once the onboarding criteria are met, coordinate the handoff to the client's long-term owner (CSM, CSC, or Support).
