Founded in 2015, the company is one of the fastest growing companies in SaaS, raising approximately $250 million to date and valued at $1.6 billion. Apollo.io provides sales and marketing teams with easy access to verified contact data for over 210 million B2B contacts and 35 million companies worldwide, along with tools to engage and convert these contacts in one unified platform.

Apollo.io is hiring a Senior Manager - Onboarding Architect to oversee the post-sale experience for mid-to-high-value customers. This role is critical in transforming the early customer experience into one of clarity, speed, and value realization. You will design and build the roles and responsibilities for the function and operating model, while also executing individual contributor onboarding work to stay deeply versed in the process. You will lead implementation efforts, complex migrations, guide customers through configuration and onboarding milestones, and ensure each account is set up for long-term success.

You'll work cross-functionally with Sales, CS, Solutions Consulting, Product, Engineering, and Support to drive strategic onboarding engagements for customers with more complex use cases or integrations. You will also contribute to documentation, playbooks, and process improvements that raise the bar across the entire onboarding org.

  • Player-Coach Leadership & Continuous Improvement

  • Conduct weekly live sessions, guiding customers through the Apollo platform.
  • Maintain clean records and notes in CS platforms (e.g., Salesforce, Vitally, etc).
  • Document playbooks, checklists, and best practices to scale onboarding success.
  • Continuously refine the R&Rs and processes you designed, incorporating feedback and performance data.

  • Exceptional communication skills, both written and verbal, with executive presence and the ability to simplify complex concepts for diverse audiences (sales leaders, admins, and technical teams).
  • Demonstrated success working cross-functionally with Sales, Solutions Consulting, Customer Success, Product, Engineering, and Support to orchestrate end-to-end onboarding delivery.
