If you’re energized by ambitious work, creative collaboration, and helping to build something great, you’ll want to keep reading.

ABOUT YOU

You’re not just looking for a job — you’re looking for a place to do your best work. You bring:

  • A community mindset — You see customers as partners and coworkers as collaborators. You lift others up, always follow through on your commitments, and thrive in a team that does the same. (Community First)
  • Momentum and ownership — You act with optimism, take initiative, and turn ideas into results. You move fast and bring others with you. (Fast Forward)
  • Vision and boldness — You don’t just react — you anticipate. You think big, challenge the status quo, and push the work (and the industry) forward. (Ten Steps Ahead)
  • Joy in the craft — You care deeply about what you build and how it makes people feel. You bring thoughtfulness, transparency, and a sparkling sense of humour to the table. (Delightful Work)

A BIT MORE ABOUT US

commonsku supports hundreds of promotional products distributors and suppliers with technology that drive efficiency, growth, and connection. Our skummunity (commonsku + community = skummunity, get it?) is powered by events, education, and shared knowledge and is core to who we are.
We’ve grown by being “for promo by promo” and now, we’re scaling our impact to elevating an entire industry. We’d love your help doing it.

Responsibilities

ABOUT THE ROLE: ONBOARDING SPECIALIST

We’re growing — and we’re hiring an Onboarding Specialist to join our Customer Success team! In this role, you’ll help new commonsku customers quickly realize value from the platform and are set up for long-term success by delivering effective and fun onboarding training. You’ll collaborate closely with teammates across Success and Sales, contribute to a high-trust environment, and play a direct role in the success of businesses in the promo industry.

️ WHAT YOU’LL DO

Here’s what you’ll do:

  • Lead the customer journey from signed contract through onboarding completion, including kickoff, training, and milestone check-ins.
  • Deliver structured onboarding sessions that drive customer adoption of core features and workflows, tailored to the customer’s needs.
  • Coordinate light technical setup (integrations, data imports, user configuration) and escalate complex needs to technical support teams.
  • Develop, document, and continuously improve onboarding playbooks, processes, and content.
  • Monitor engagement and usage during onboarding; identify risks and flag to Customer Success Managers.
  • Ensure a clean handoff to Customer Success Managers with a success plan and health baseline.
  • Collaborate with peers to identify and implement process and program improvements.

Some of the qualities that help you thrive in this role:

  • 2+ years in a customer-facing SaaS role (Customer Success, Implementation, Onboarding, or Support are all good fits).
  • Proven track record of managing multiple onboarding projects in parallel, meeting deadlines and adoption targets.
  • Ability to quickly grasp product workflows and teach them to non-technical users.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills—capable of running live training, recorded modules, and producing clear documentation.
  • Confident facilitator with individuals and groups, able to manage sessions with both executive stakeholders and frontline users, in a virtual environment.
  • High empathy and customer-first orientation; builds trust quickly.
  • Experience with B2B SaaS platforms that have integrations (API, SSO, data imports) is a strong plus.
  • Comfort with basic technical troubleshooting: setting up integrations, managing data imports, and configuring workflows.
  • Ability to operate with a growth mindset, identifying opportunities for improvement
  • Exposure to and interest in adopting AI tooling to improve customer and team experience.
  • Exposure to the promotional products industry is a bonus
