What does this role mean to us?

The Onboarding Manager (OM) acts as the active onboarding orchestrator for all new Cutover customers, ensuring structured, predictable, and high-quality onboarding experiences. This is a customer-facing role that partners directly with customers throughout onboarding to drive alignment, clarity, and momentum. The OM raises the bar on onboarding standards, drives delivery governance, and ensures customers progress efficiently from implementation to their defined value realization moment within six months.

 

The OM is accountable for the onboarding plans of all new Cutover customers, managing multiple customers concurrently. They provide cross-workstream oversight across Customers, AE, CSM, and Delivery teams to proactively identify risks, misalignment, and execution gaps throughout onboarding. The OM ensures issues are surfaced early and escalated through defined governance forums in line with our methodology, maintaining transparency, accountability, and forward momentum.

 

While AEs and CSMs own the overall customer relationship, the OM owns the onboarding plan, governance structure, and execution oversight. The role counsels and supports onboarding teams and customers alike, driving clarity on progress, blockers, resourcing, decision-making, and next steps to ensure successful, timely onboarding outcomes.
