You'll work in close partnership with Sales, Compliance, and Customer teams, ensuring that onboarding processes are completed efficiently and accurately—without compromising on quality.

Work cross-functionally to identify bottlenecks or risks and support automation and process enhancements.

We’re looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.

Claridians in a hybrid mode split their time between working from the office, talking to or visiting customers, or working from home. This hits a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility about how to do this in a way that makes sense for each individual and team.

We don't enforce a minimum number of days for most roles, but you're expected to spend time at the office organically, and be at the office most days during your ramp-up or when required by your leader.
