Apollo.io is hiring a Senior Manager, High Touch Onboarding to lead and scale our onboarding delivery function for mid-to-high-value customers through a blended model:
- High-Touch Onboarding (Apollo-led) — complex implementations, technical configuration, integrations, and launch management
- Partner-Led Onboarding (partner-delivered) — driving scale through consulting/agency partners with strong quality controls, enablement, and governance
This role is responsible for people leadership and services operations: managing a portfolio of onboarding engagements, building the operating cadence (forecasting, resourcing, QA, escalations), and ensuring partners deliver consistently to Apollo standards. You’ll partner cross-functionally with Sales, CS, Solutions Consulting, Product, Support, and Partner teams to drive predictable launches and faster time-to-value.
You’ll collaborate closely with a Sr. Manager, Post-Sales Solutions Architect (peer role) who is split 50/50 across Onboarding + GTME and owns technical architecture patterns and complex technical escalations. Your focus is delivery leadership, partner execution, and team performance.
What You’ll DoBuild Services Delivery & Cross-functional Orchestration- Own a portfolio of onboarding implementations (high-touch + partner-led), ensuring predictable delivery across timelines, scope, and customer outcomes—similar to a PS leader running enterprise implementations end-to-end
- Establish a services operating cadence: kickoff standards, weekly status, risk management, exec-level steering as needed for strategic accounts.
- Drive clean handoffs from pre-sales to onboarding delivery (scope clarity, success criteria, dependencies, stakeholders).
- Partner deeply with Sales/CS to align engagement model: what’s included in onboarding vs. what becomes follow-on services or partner work.
- Own partner agency strategy for onboarding delivery: partner selection inputs, onboarding/ramp, certification, and ongoing enablement so partners act as a true extension of Apollo.
- Build the partner governance system: playbooks, QA gates, audit/review processes, escalation paths, and performance scorecards.
- Ensure partner-led implementations maintain Apollo’s bar for customer experience, technical correctness, and timeline discipline (not “outsourced,” but operationally integrated).
- Create scalable collateral for partners and internal teams: templates, discovery guides, rollout checklists, and launch criteria (standard PS “best practice” assets).
- Hire, coach, and develop a high-performing onboarding delivery team (High-Touch + Partner Ops / Partner Managers).
- Build the “services ops” backbone: capacity planning, utilization forecasting, delivery prioritization, escalation management, and delivery reporting (weekly metrics + exec-ready updates).
- Establish process discipline around documentation, project hygiene, and execution standards (project plans, RAID logs, status reporting, and delivery retros).
- Identify recurring delivery friction and drive improvements across process, tooling, enablement, and product feedback loops.
- 5+ years in Professional Services / Implementation / Customer Delivery in B2B SaaS (technical product preferred).
- 2+ years people management (hiring, coaching, performance management, leveling).
- Strong delivery leadership: can run a portfolio of implementations with clear project governance and stakeholder management.
- Comfort with technical GTM ecosystems (Salesforce/HubSpot context, integrations, data/workflow concepts).
- Experience building/scaling a partner-led implementation model as a strategic lever for speed, coverage, and efficiency.
- Experience with PSA / implementation tooling (Rocketlane, Smartsheet, Asana, Monday, etc.) and services metrics reporting.
- Prior Apollo.io experience (as a user or implementer).
- Familiarity with services packaging/scoping (SOW-like clarity even if not formally billed).
