Become a part of Team Rapsodo as we challenge limits and unveil endless potential, one data point and one heartwarming success story at a time. Powered by Athletes who get it, and Engineers who can do it. Role Purpose This is a hands-on individual contributor role responsible for designing and operating Rapsodo's onboarding-to-activation pipeline — from pre-installation readiness through the first 60 days of product usage. You will build and own the process, not simply execute against an existing playbook. We are looking for someone from operations, implementation, technical program management, partner/channel operations, or logistics coordination backgrounds — someone who thinks in checklists, dependencies, and repeatable systems, and who is equally comfortable on the phone with a customer or a VAR as they are building a tracker from scratch. This role focuses on the operational execution of onboarding and activation, ensuring customers get up and running with Rapsodo products smoothly and consistently. What We're Looking For Someone who has built or scaled a process before, not just run one that already existed Background in implementation, onboarding operations, technical program management, supply chain/logistics coordination, or partner/channel operations Comfort with ambiguity and a bias toward building structure where none exists yet Strong cross-functional influence skills — able to align partners, installers, and internal teams without formal authority over them Working comfort with data and early usage signals to flag risk, even though this is not a data analyst role Why This Role Matters At Rapsodo, we know that the early stages of the customer journey are critical to long-term success. How customers are onboarded, set up, and supported in their first 30–60 days directly impacts whether they successfully adopt and continue using the product. This role exists to ensure that every customer has a smooth, structured, and successful start. By improving onboarding, installation readiness, and early customer experience, this role directly impacts activation, reduces early churn, and protects revenue. It also works closely with the Customer & Partner Enablement function to ensure that certification programs and training standards are effectively applied in real-world onboarding and installation scenarios.

Ensure customers are successfully onboarded and able to use the product effectively Coordinate onboarding steps across teams (support, partners, product where needed) Identify and remove friction points in the onboarding experience Ensure consistency in onboarding across customers and segments 3. First 30–60 Day Customer Success Drive early customer success and engagement post-installation. Conduct structured activation check-ins with customers Monitor early usage signals and identify at-risk customers Intervene where needed to resolve issues and improve outcomes Ensure customers are progressing toward successful product usage 4. Partner & Installer Coordination Ensure partners and installers are aligned and effective in delivering a strong customer experience. Work closely with VARs, installers, and partner networks to ensure consistent and high-quality customer onboarding and setup experiences Identify gaps in partner readiness and surface them to Enablement Ensure field execution aligns with defined onboarding and activation standards 5. Activation Insights & Feedback Loops Create visibility into activation performance and challenges. Track activation progress, onboarding completion, and early customer success indicators Identify recurring issues in onboarding, installation, or early usage Provide structured feedback to Product, CX Operations, and Enablement teams Contribute to improving onboarding processes and customer experience 6. Process Improvement & Scalability Continuously improve how activation is executed as the business grows.
