• Coordinate with customers and internal teams to gather onboarding information, provide status updates, document progress, and follow up on open items through completion.
• Maintain organized onboarding trackers, status reports, documentation, and runbooks to ensure leadership, customers, and technical teams have clear visibility into progress.

• Minimum experience and education levels: Ten (10) years + High School Diploma/GED; Eight (8) years + Associate’s Degree; Six (6) years + Bachelor’s Degree; Four (4) years + Master’s Degree; Two (2) years + Doctorate’s Degree.
