This role requires strong execution, sound business judgment, comfort operating in ambiguity, and the ability to solve complex problems through influence rather than authority.

As the program scales, you’ll partner closely with Product, Fulfillment, and CX teams to reduce onboarding time, streamline processes, and help define product roadmap priorities that remove friction and enable brands to activate faster. You’ll leverage data and operational insights to anticipate risks, identify qualitative issues early, and continuously improve onboarding workflows at scale.

• Track onboarding progress across multiple workstreams, proactively identifying risks, delays, and quality issues


• Leverage data and operational metrics to anticipate qualitative issues and drive informed decision-making


• Partner cross-functionally with Product, Fulfillment, and CX teams to resolve issues and improve onboarding workflows


• Influence outcomes without direct authority while balancing brand needs with operational constraints


• Contribute to the continuous improvement of onboarding processes, documentation, and internal tooling


• Support brands post-onboarding to ensure ongoing success and a high-quality fulfillment experience
