About The Role We are looking for a

Your goal is to drive internal efficiency while raising the bar on the customer experience during the post‑sale phase, ensuring customers are activated quickly, consistently, and set up for long‑term success. You will lead and develop a team, setting standards, processes, and performance expectations while working closely with multiple stakeholders and teams.

Ensure fast, consistent activation and customer readiness to launch with maximum value.
Design, implement, and continuously improve scalable onboarding processes and playbooks.
Lead, coach, and manage a team of 10 people, fostering high performance, accountability, and professional growth.
Operate on the front line with customers, working operationally alongside the rest of the team for ~50% of your capacity.
Act as the main point of coordination between Sales, Product, Customer Success, Operations, and Tech teams.
Define and monitor onboarding KPIs (time‑to‑value, activation rate, onboarding completion, customer satisfaction).
Identify bottlenecks and proactively remove friction in the onboarding journey.
Ensure a smooth and effective handover from Sales to Onboarding and Customer Success.
Gather and structure customer feedback to inform product and process improvements.
Support complex or strategic onboardings when needed.
Requirements
Proven experience owning or leading customer onboarding in a B2B / SaaS / tech environment.
Experience managing and scaling teams of 8–12 people.
Strong process and execution mindset, with the ability to scale operations across multiple products.
Excellent cross‑functional communication and stakeholder management skills.
Data‑driven approach with strong ownership of metrics and outcomes.
Ability to balance strategic thinking with hands‑on execution.
High attention to detail and a strong customer‑centric mindset.
Fluent in Italian and English.
What We Offer
Work in a small and top‑performing team that moves extremely fast where you are extremely important.
Work without having to deal with jerks and ego‑maniacs.
The opportunity to join one of the best travel‑tech sales teams in Europe.
A place where your talent can blossom.
An environment where mistakes are allowed – we make bold choices to achieve ambitious goals, learn from mistakes, and move forward.
A place where your voice matters – meetings provide space for new ideas and projects, regardless of your role or seniority.
Continuous growth – we challenge the status quo, renewing our sales processes and approaches to meet challenging goals.
We have fun while working! We are easygoing people.
Work with the best software to automate repetitive tasks and let you focus on customers and targets.
Remote working with frequent opportunities to meet up.
Fun and enriching experiences – unforgettable team‑building events that go beyond the usual outings.
