Customer Onboarding Manager (COM) 

The Customer Onboarding Manager (COM) is responsible for delivering a tailored and strategic onboarding experience that sets SailPoint customers up for long-term success. This role acts as a trusted advisor and strategic guide, helping customers achieve rapid time-to-value and confidence in their SailPoint Identity Security journey. The COM is not a quota-carrying role and is focused on enablement, education, and strategic customer outcomes during the onboarding phase.
