What is Onboarding?

EcoVadis' customer onboarding services are targeted toward our larger and more complex customers, as a series of guided workshops, meetings, and topics, designed to set up a strong and successful foundation for their sustainable procurement goals with EcoVadis. Deploying strategic corporate programs such as a sustainable procurement program, can be challenging for organizations as it requires systematic cultural change and stakeholder adoption in often highly complex procurement organizations with large supply chains. To ensure the customer gets to the benefits and to the ROI of their EcoVadis SaaS solutions  early on, it is critical that all impacted employees, mostly procurement teams, understand how the program works, what they are requested to do and how to integrate EcoVadis in their procurement policies, processes and technologies.

The Customer Onboarding Manager reports to the Onboarding Director - Americas and the scope of the role is as follows:

As an Onboarding Manager you will work with a diverse set of large multinational companies across the Americas and occasionally APAC to ensure they have the foundations needed to maximize the value of EcoVadis as an important piece of their sustainable procurement initiative.  

Successful customer onboarding requires both strong project management and leadership skills as you will coordinate the strategic and technico-operational aspects simultaneously. For a period of approximately 6 months you will be the project head for multiple customers, collaborating with the internal account management team (Key Account Manager, Customer Success Manager, Customer Success Advocate) and the customer through the onboarding phase. You will partner with the customer to advise and guide them in the set-up and adoption of the EcoVadis solution which includes integration where applicable in their internal and external capacity building and communications, design of procurement processes and tools and ultimately to build a seamless and scalable customer journey and roadmap for EcoVadis deployment.  You will interface with various customer stakeholders, and be accountable to securing executive leadership commitment throughout the onboarding phase. 

EcoVadis’ vision is to enable a new way of doing business where sustainability intelligence influences every business decision. One of our key company values is One Customer at a Time and as there is only one first impression we can make on the customer, it is our objective to be ever-present at that stage to accelerate the change we believe is possible.
