Director of Onboarding, Intake & Records
About The Position
The Director of Onboarding, Intake & Records is the enterprise authority for intake governance, onboarding execution, records management, and document systems administration across multiple SpencerPruitt-affiliated entities. This role owns how information enters the firm, how it is classified, who can access it, where it lives, and how it is preserved or retired. The Director serves as the institutional memory and systems governor of the organization. While an external consultant will support systems training and documentation during the initial ramp period, this role retains full ownership and decision authority at all times. The consultant advises; the Director decides.
