About Outreach

Outreach, founded in 2014, is the only complete agentic AI platform for revenue teams. Outreach infuses agentic AI, conversation intelligence, and assistive AI to power hundreds of use cases across revenue motions. From new logo prospecting to expansions, deal acceleration, driving retention, and forecasting, Outreach AI automates workflows and frees sellers to focus on more strategic conversations and actions. Revenue leaders benefit from connected account visibility, performance insights, and higher forecasting accuracy across every GTM team. World leading enterprise organizations use Outreach to power their revenue teams, including Databricks, SAP, Siemens, and Verizon to name a few.

About the Team

FDE, Onboarding Services sits within Professional Services. We're Outreach, CRM, GTM, and agentic AI experts and the main point of contact for customers after a sale is complete.

Our Onboarding Services FDEs are trusted advisors. They make every customer's onboarding and implementation exceptional, get AI Agents live and adopted, and set customers up to immediately start exceeding their KPIs.

The Role

You’ll join our FDE, Onboarding Services team, chartered with onboarding and implementing new Outreach customers — from core platform configuration through delivery and adoption of our AI Agents.

You’ll guide customers through best practices and hands‑on configuration, providing strategic insight on GTM strategy, technical configuration, change management, and how best to engage their teams to drive adoption. You’ll use AI to turn discovery conversations into clear requirements faster, spot adoption risk earlier in usage data, and spend more of your time on the strategic guidance customers hire us for.

The role mixes technology and business consulting with solution design and project management. You’ll work across Sales, Presales, Customer Success, Education, Support, Product, and Engineering to keep the customer journey well documented, handoffs seamless, and customer feedback captured.

You’ll own results for your implementations against Onboarding Services KPIs, and report to the Practice Manager, FDE Onboarding Services.

Key Performance Indicators: On‑time go‑live against agreed milestones, delivery within budget and margin, project utilization, customer sign‑off and satisfaction, and AI Agent adoption at handoff — ultimately setting customers up for successful renewal and expansion.

Location: This is a remote role, based in the United States (Eastern or Central time zones preferred). There may be occasional in‑person or team events.

Working Hours: This is a customer‑facing role and will require working US‑based business hours, with flexibility for key customer milestones.
