Job Purpose

The Merchant Onboarding Specialist is responsible for managing and facilitating the onboarding journey of new merchants, ensuring a seamless transition from Sales / Pre-sales to operational readiness. This role focuses on coordination, communication, and process facilitation rather than commercial account management, upselling, or cross-selling.

The coordinator ensures all stakeholders—both internal and external—are aligned, tools and processes are properly introduced, and the merchant is fully prepared for a successful go-live. Contract negotiations and pricing remain under the purview of the Account Management (AM) team and can still be handled if needed.

Key Responsibilities

• Take ownership of the merchant onboarding process following the kickoff initiated by the Sales Team.
• Develop and manage onboarding plans, ensuring all stakeholders understand timelines, responsibilities, and deliverables.
• Act as the central point of coordination, ensuring a smooth transition from the kickoff to the operational go-live phase.
• Ensure data quality between CRMs and other back-office components.

Process Facilitation and Tool Presentation

• Guide merchants through the onboarding process, presenting tools, systems, and processes essential for successful integration.
• Provide demonstrations and training of back-office tools to ensure merchant readiness.
• Ensure merchants follow established processes, providing clear guidance and support.

Internal and External Stakeholder Coordination

• Collaborate with internal teams, including Integration, Risk, Compliance, Fraud, Legal, Sales, AM, and Support to meet merchant requirements.
• Act as a proactive liaison between the merchant and internal departments, escalating and resolving issues as needed during the onboarding phase.
• Maintain open communication with merchants, providing regular updates on progress and addressing concerns promptly during the onboarding phase.

Kickoff and Progress Management

• Lead onboarding activities from the point of kickoff (owned by Sales), ensuring alignment on goals and next steps with all parties.
• Track and monitor the onboarding progress, identifying and mitigating potential delays or roadblocks.
• Serve as the merchant’s advocate during the onboarding journey, ensuring their needs are prioritized.

Go-Live Preparation and Handover

• Oversee the readiness of all technical integrations, compliance checks, and operational processes leading to go-live (ensure financial is live and working).
• Conduct a final review with merchants to ensure all requirements are met and they are fully prepared for live operations with integration teams.
• Facilitate a comprehensive handover to the Account Management (AM) team and ensure insights are transferred effectively.

Feedback and Continuous Improvement

• Collect feedback from merchants on the onboarding process to identify opportunities for improvement.
• Collaborate with internal teams to optimize tools, processes, and resources based on insights.
• Stay informed about industry trends and best practices to enhance the merchant onboarding experience.

Position Requirements

• Experience in customer success, project coordination, or operational roles in payments, fintech, or a related industry.
• Strong organizational and project management skills with the ability to manage multiple tasks simultaneously.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills to effectively explain processes and tools.
• Problem-solving and conflict resolution skills to address onboarding challenges proactively.
• Familiarity with payment technologies, platforms, and compliance requirements is a plus.
• Proficiency in CRM systems (Efficy, PowerBI, Zendesk, JIRA, REDMINE) and project management tools.
• Ability to understand and communicate technical requirements for payment integration.
• Fluency in both French and English is required.

We believe in equal employment opportunity, a culture built around gender-balanced development opportunities for our professionals, a flexible and healthy working environment, and general equality in the workplace.
