Onboarding Associate, New Accounts

This is more than onboarding—it’s the moment where trust is built, momentum is created, and the client journey takes shape.

A day in the life:

You start your day by reviewing your onboarding pipeline—quickly identifying where you can drive progress. 

You follow up with clients who haven’t completed key steps, clarify what’s needed, and remove friction to keep them moving. Client follow-up may include, but is not limited to, phone calls, emails, chat, video calls, and any other communication channels currently in use or adopted in the future.  

You review submitted documents, resolve issues early, and ensure everything is accurate and complete. 

Throughout the day, you maintain momentum—answering questions, sending targeted follow-ups, and guiding clients toward funding readiness. 

You prepare clients for handoff—confirming all requirements are met and ensuring a smooth transition to the next team. 

Your focus is simple: drive progress, reduce friction, and ensure every client is ready for funding. 

 

You’ll succeed in this role if you: 

• Take full ownership of moving clients from application to funding readiness  

• Stay proactive and persistent in driving progress  

• Communicate clearly and confidently with clients  

• Balance speed and accuracy  

• Identify and resolve issues before they become blockers  

• Stay organized and manage multiple clients effectively
