About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Onboarding Professional to lead and orchestrate the complex, cross-functional process of bringing new commercial partners live. This role blends program management, product solutions, commercial judgment, and technical fluency. You will act as the central point of coordination between internal teams and external partners - ensuring every integration, agreement, and product enablement step is executed flawlessly.

This is a high-priority role with direct impact on revenue growth, partner satisfaction, and strategic market positioning. You’ll need to thrive in ambiguity, work at speed, and handle multiple high-stakes onboarding projects simultaneously.

Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end onboarding process for new partners - from commercial agreement to technical go-live.
• Drive alignment across stakeholders including Product, Risk, Compliance, Legal, Capital Markets, and the Management Team.
• Translate complex partner needs into actionable product or technical requirements - sometimes a product feature, sometimes an API integration.
• Develop and maintain deep knowledge of our commercial agreements, data sources, compliance frameworks (KYC/AML), and capital markets requirements.
• Serve as the trusted point of contact for partners during onboarding, creating confidence through proactive communication and solutions-oriented problem-solving.
• Ensure operational readiness for partner launch, anticipating roadblocks and resolving issues before they escalate.
• Continuously improve onboarding playbooks, processes, and tools to scale with growth.
• Report on onboarding progress, risks, and KPIs to senior leadership.

Requirements

• 8+ years experience in program management, solutions engineering, product management, or partner enablement in a high-growth, complex environment.
• Strong commercial acumen; comfortable with contracts, pricing terms, and negotiation touchpoints.
• Proven track record of orchestrating cross-functional initiatives across technical and business teams.
• Technical capabilities and familiarity with APIs, system integrations, and data architecture.
• Experience in financial services, fintech, capital markets, or compliance-heavy environments strongly preferred.
• Exceptional judgment, ownership mindset, and ability to make fast, informed decisions.
• Gravitas to influence senior stakeholders and build trust quickly.
• Comfortable working in high-pressure, time-sensitive situations with multiple concurrent partner launches.
