Drive Value Realisation for Apollo’s UK Customers

Apollo.io is scaling rapidly across EMEA, and our sales-led SMB and Mid-Market customers require structured, high-touch onboarding to activate quickly and realise value from our platform.

We’re looking for a Senior High-Touch Onboarding Manager (Individual Contributor) to own the onboarding journey for a portfolio of UK customers acquired through Sales. In this role, you will guide customers through structured onboarding programmes, align activation to their specific commercial objectives, and ensure meaningful, long-term adoption.

This is a high-ownership, customer-facing role suited to someone who thrives in fast-paced SaaS environments, enjoys solving complex customer challenges, and takes pride in delivering measurable outcomes.

What You’ll Do:

Own High-Touch Customer Onboarding

  • Lead 3 - 6 structured onboarding sessions per customer.

  • Manage a portfolio of 15 - 25 active onboarding accounts simultaneously.

  • Conduct 15 - 20 customer meetings per week.

  • Deliver structured, solution-oriented follow-ups with clear next steps and ownership.

  • Maintain onboarding momentum and accountability across multiple stakeholders.

  • Partner closely with Sales and Account Managers to ensure seamless handovers.

Your ability to manage concurrent onboarding journeys efficiently and professionally will directly impact customer satisfaction and retention.

Drive Goal-Led Activation

Activation is not feature-led - it is outcome-led.

You will:

  • Analyse sales handover documentation to understand customer objectives.

  • Conduct pre-session research to understand each customer’s go-to-market motion.

  • Align onboarding sessions to their specific jobs-to-be-done.

  • Prioritise workflows that drive measurable commercial impact (prospecting, account expansion, recruiting, etc.).

  • Realign expectations where necessary while preserving trust and forward momentum.

Success in this role is measured by meaningful adoption and value realisation - not feature walkthroughs.

Navigate Cross-Functional Environments

  • Collaborate with Sales, Product, Engineering, GTM Engineering, and Support to remove blockers.

  • Handle escalations calmly and professionally.

  • Document progress, milestones, and activation outcomes clearly.

  • Continuously refine onboarding quality and delivery.

You’ll operate in a dynamic environment where priorities shift - maintaining structure, clarity, and professionalism is essential.

What Success Looks Like:

  • Customers activate core workflows quickly and confidently.

  • CSAT consistently ≥ 90%.

  • Strong portfolio management with no dropped accounts or missed follow-ups.

  • Reduced onboarding friction through proactive cross-functional coordination.

  • Clear alignment between onboarding outcomes and customer commercial goals.

What We’re Looking For:

  • Experience: 2 - 4+ years in SaaS OnboardingImplementation, or Sales Engineering, Solutions Architecture, Technical Project Management

  • Hands-on experience with GTM tech stacks is required - including CRM platforms, sales engagement/sequencing tools, and email deliverability infrastructure (SPF/DKIM/DMARC, sending domains).
  • Experience running structured onboarding programmes (multi-session journeys).

  • Strong consultative communication skills with executive-level confidence.

  • Proven ability to manage multiple customers simultaneously without sacrificing quality.

  • Excellent organisational skills and follow-through.

  • Comfortable handling difficult customer conversations and expectation resets.

  • Native or fluent English.

Based in the UK and comfortable operating in a hybrid working environment (London preferred).
