We’re expanding our North America business and looking for a Lead Onboarding Specialist who not only owns the onboarding experience for our customers, but also shapes the team behind it. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys rolling up their sleeves with clients while mentoring others, setting standards and building a high-performing onboarding practice from the ground up. Here’s the thing: you’ll be the person who defines what great onboarding looks like in a new market. You’ll coach onboarding specialists, refine how we work, and create a consistent, scalable onboarding motion that drives adoption, retention and long-term success. If you like the idea of growing a team, influencing strategy and leaving your fingerprints on a fast-growing SaaS scale-up.
At Workwize, we’re redefining the way global teams get the hardware and support they need. Our automated SaaS platform takes care of deployment, management, and retrieval—delivering equipment quickly and reliably in 100+ countries. With 50,000 users and over 120,000 devices under management, we’re taking the manual heavy lifting off IT teams so they can focus on the work that truly moves the business forward. We’re also proud to be recognized by LinkedIn as one of the Top 10 Startups in the Netherlands for 2025.
As the Lead Onboarding Specialist, you’ll take full ownership of the customer journey from post-sale to successful implementation, elevating every step and ensuring a seamless handoff. You’ll lead clients through adoption, configuration, and those critical early wins, while also coaching and mentoring the onboarding team to deliver a consistently exceptional experience. This role blends meaningful client partnerships with impactful team leadership. You’ll shape onboarding strategy, refine and scale processes, and help build a high-performing function as we expand across the US. The ideal candidate brings experience in SaaS or technical environments, thrives in a dynamic setting, and is comfortable managing multiple onboarding programs while supporting and developing a growing team.
