About the Role
FareHarbor is seeking a strategic, operationally strong, and innovative leader to serve as our Director, Client Onboarding & Enablement. This role will lead a large, manager-led organization responsible for helping new clients join and adopt our software successfully, supporting select live-client technical build and training needs, and enabling our commercial success through training streamlined operations while evolving our onboarding model to scale with the business.
This leader will sit at the center of the Commercial organization, partnering closely with Sales, Account Management, Support, Operations, and Product to accelerate client acquisition, reduce friction across the client journey, and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of onboarding at scale. The role will oversee and accelerate dashboard building and implementation, client training, select live-build and live-training workflows, and website integrations, while helping shape the future structure of those services over time.
Success in this role will require a leader who can both run a complex organization and transform it: building more scalable and repeatable onboarding experiences, introducing digital and automated solutions, and aligning service delivery to improve client activation, operational efficiency, and long-term customer value.

- Evolve Onboarding from a primarily transactional function into a strategic, scalable client implementation engine that supports both acquisition and retention/expansion
- Build a more connected client journey across pre-sale, onboarding, go-live, and post-live support in partnership with Sales, AM, Support, and Ops
Accelerate Client Launches and Improve Commercial Outcomes
- Own performance against key onboarding outcomes, such as time-to-live, Sales and AM Enablement
- Improve Onboarding scalability, with a focus on speed, quality, and predictability without compromising client experience
- Strengthen Onboarding’s role in supporting Sales and AM through technical consultations, retrainings and expansionary support
Build a Scalable Service Model
- Design and operationalize an updated service model, with delineation between self-service, standard-service, and white-glove
- Clarify what should be high-touch, guided-touch, low-touch, or self-serve across the onboarding journey
- Improve handoffs, intake quality, discovery requirements, and role clarity across Commercial teams
Drive Automation, AI, and Digital Enablement
- Lead efforts to identify and implement automation and AI-enabled solutions that improve consistency, reduce manual work, and increase organizational capacity, including more repeatable training formats and digital education paths
- Partner with Commercial Operations and other teams to improve tooling, workflow visibility, reporting, and process efficiency
Strengthen Operational Excellence
- Establish clear metrics, dashboards, and operating cadences that improve prioritization, resource allocation, and performance management
- Simplify and standardize fragmented workflows across tools, channels, and teams
- Ensure the team can scale while maintaining strong client experience and business impact
What Success Looks Like
- Faster, more predictable client go-lives that lead to longer retention
- Stronger and earlier partnership with Sales to support Closed Business and Onboarding readiness
- Stronger partnership with AM to support retention, feature adoption, and expansion readiness
- Lower cost per onboard through better segmentation, self-service, and automation
- A clearer service model by tier, with improved experience for both high-value and lower-tier clients
- Greater workflow consistency, less manual work, and more scalable onboarding delivery
- A team culture that remains process-oriented where needed, but is more flexible, experimental, and innovation-driven

Required Experience:
