The Role We're looking for a Customer Success Manager focused on Onboarding to own the earliest and most critical phase of the customer journey at Metaforms. When a research agency signs with us, they're not just buying software — they're changing how their entire operations team works. Your job is to make that transition fast, structured, and successful. You'll own onboarding end-to-end, run pilots with new accounts, and ensure customers are confident and productive on the platform before you hand them off. This is a hands-on IC role where your success is measured by how quickly customers reach their first milestone — and how few of them struggle to get there. What You'll Own Onboarding and Time-to-Value - Own the onboarding process for every new customer — from signed contract to fully live on the platform - Build and continuously improve structured onboarding playbooks, timelines, and success criteria for different customer segments - Run kickoff calls, training sessions, and check-ins that set customers up with the right habits and configurations from day one - Track time-to-value metrics across your book and identify where customers slow down or drop off Pilot Management - Design and run structured pilots with new accounts — defining success criteria upfront, managing the timeline, and driving the evaluation to a clear outcome - Work closely with Sales during the pilot phase to ensure technical and operational requirements are met - Gather structured feedback during pilots and feed it back to Product and Engineering with clarity and context Customer Enablement - Develop customer-facing training materials, onboarding guides, and workflow documentation tailored to research agency operations - Proactively identify knowledge gaps and build resources that help customers self-serve where possible - Run product walkthroughs that go beyond feature demos — connecting platform capabilities to the customer's specific workflows and outcomes Cross-Functional Collaboration - Work closely with the Technical Product Support team to resolve onboarding blockers quickly - Partner with Product to surface friction points and recurring onboarding challenges that can be addressed at the platform level - Hand off successfully onboarded accounts to the ongoing CS function with clear documentation of configuration, goals, and any open items What We're Looking For Must-Have - 3–5 years of experience in customer success, onboarding, or implementation at a B2B SaaS company - Proven track record of managing structured onboarding programmes for enterprise or mid-market customers - Strong project management instincts — you can run multiple onboardings in parallel without dropping the ball - Excellent written and verbal communication: able to run confident customer calls and produce clear documentation - Comfortable working with technically complex products — you don't need to write code, but you need to understand how the platform works deeply enough to troubleshoot and advise - High ownership: you follow every customer through to a successful go-live, not just through the kickoff call Nice to Have - Experience onboarding customers onto AI-driven or data-heavy SaaS platforms - Familiarity with market research, survey programming, or research operations workflows - Experience running structured pilots or proof-of-concept engagements - Exposure to enterprise customers with complex technical and organisational requirements Why Metaforms - Own a function that directly determines whether customers succeed — your impact is immediate and measurable - Work with sophisticated customers at major research agencies running high-volume, high-stakes operations - Build onboarding systems and playbooks from scratch — this is a function being shaped, not inherited - Zero-bureaucracy culture: high autonomy, fast feedback loops, and direct access to leadership - Well-funded and financially stable, with a clear roadmap and the runway to execute on it Benefits - Full family health insurance - $1,000 USD annual learning and development budget - Dedicated mentor and coaching support - Free snacks and dinner at the office  
