Role overview

What does a Customer Onboarding Specialist do?

The first 30 days of a customer relationship determine whether they stay for 30 months—or churn. Marco's Customer Onboarding Specialists manage the critical transition from signed deal to active, successful customer. They run kickoff calls, configure accounts, deliver training, and track activation milestones to ensure every customer reaches first value fast.

What does a remote customer onboarding specialist do? They lead onboarding kickoff calls, configure customer accounts and integrations, deliver tailored product training sessions, track onboarding milestones and activation metrics in tools like Gainsight or ChurnZero, create onboarding playbooks and video tutorials, and hand off successfully onboarded customers to CSMs. A remote onboarding specialist costs $1,000–$1,500/month through Marco versus $5,500/month for a U.S.-based hire.
