Own the journey that sets customers up for success
The first 90 days of a customer relationship are critical. We're looking for someone who can orchestrate seamless transitions for businesses moving their IT Managed Services to Focus Group – combining technical knowledge, project coordination, and genuine customer focus to ensure every onboarding is exceptional.
You'll lead end-to-end transitions from incumbent providers, building comprehensive onboarding plans, conducting project meetings (including onsite visits when needed), and ensuring every department plays their part at exactly the right time. You'll work directly with customers throughout the transition and their first 90 days, spotting risks early, facilitating their move to our portal and systems, and making sure any gaps identified by our support team get resolved quickly.
This role combines technical understanding with customer relationship management. You'll conduct documentation checks, work with engineers on technical onboarding components, define customer processes like joiner/leaver procedures and device build standards, and capture everything from renewal dates to automation opportunities. You'll also support discoveries during the later sales stages, helping set realistic expectations before transitions even begin.
When risks emerge during onboarding, you'll work with customers and sales teams to discuss them openly. When you spot upsell opportunities, you'll flag them to the right people. And throughout it all, you'll contribute to improving how we onboard customers across the board.
