Job description

Think of this role like an air traffic controller for new customer launches. You are the single point of accountability from the moment a Sales Order is signed until the customer’s fleet diagnostic environment is live, their technicians are in the portal, and our team has handed off to steady state support within 30 days.

Every new managed services customer follows a structured onboarding journey: hardware ships pre-staged from Olathe, technician and location data flow in, email accounts and ticketing credentials are provisioned, devices are configured and validated, and the customer goes live. Your job is to orchestrate every handoff, make sure nothing falls through the cracks, and ensure the customer feels confident and informed at every step.

This is a high-visibility, high-ownership role reporting directly to senior leadership. As AE Solutions grows 30%+ annually, you will help build the scalable processes that make that growth possible., * Manage the full onboarding process for new managed services customers from Sales Order through the 30-Day Check-In, ensuring projects stay on schedule and go-live deadlines are met

  • Serve as the primary point of contact during onboarding, providing proactive communication, milestone updates, and customer support throughout implementation
  • Coordinate onboarding activities including workbook collection, account provisioning, device setup, shipment tracking, kickoff calls, and go-live validation
  • Partner with Operations, IT, and Account Managers to resolve blockers, confirm readiness, and ensure a smooth customer onboarding experience
  • Maintain accurate onboarding trackers, documentation, playbooks, and customer records while identifying opportunities to improve processes and scalability
  • Track onboarding performance metrics including time-to-go-live, customer satisfaction, and onboarding completion accuracy

  • 3+ years of project management, customer success, or implementation experience - MSP, SaaS, field services, or technology deployment preferred

  • Strong written and verbal communication - you can translate technical processes into plain English for non-technical customers
  • Proficiency with project tracking tools (spreadsheets, CRMs, or PM platforms - you pick the best tool for the job)
  • A bias for action: you don’t wait for things to be perfect before moving forward
  • Comfort working in a fast-growing, process-building environment where not everything is documented yet

  • Experience supporting field service, fleet, or utility customers
  • Familiarity with ticketing systems, MDM platforms, or device provisioning workflows
