Root Causing Blocked Cases: Develop a shared tracker for blocked cases, analyze trends, and work with cross-functional partners to resolve issues and implement sustainable fixes.
Integrations Enablement: Design and refine onboarding workflows for new integration types (e.g., Shopify), and establish scalable processes as SMB Retail expands in 2027.
Product & Tooling Guidance: Translate workflow gaps into actionable product requirements for systems like SFDC, and advocate for automation that reduces manual work.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with MXO, GTMT, IA, Sales, and Product to ensure end-to-end alignment on onboarding priorities and execution.
Data & Insights: Create and maintain onboarding performance dashboards to measure success and track progress toward SLAs and OKRs.
