About The Position

The Customer Onboarding Specialist is the first human connection new PushPress clients have after signing up, and that moment matters. This is a full-stack onboarding role, meaning you work across the entire PushPress product suite — gym management, CRM and marketing automation, and website services — onboarding customers on individual products, multiple products, or all of them together depending on what they’ve purchased. This role is responsible for guiding new customers through setup, accelerating Time to First Value, and setting the foundation for long-term success. You own the onboarding experience from kickoff through launch. Some customers are setting up one product. Others are standing up multiple products simultaneously, which means sequencing setup tracks, managing dependencies between platforms, and adapting your approach when priorities shift. You bring strong product knowledge, clear communication, and disciplined follow-through from day one. With a significant portion of churn occurring in the first six months, this role plays a direct role in retention and customer confidence.
