Job Description

What is Onboarding?

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. 

Deploying strategic corporate programs such as a sustainable procurement program, can be challenging for organizations as it requires systematic cultural change and stakeholder adoption. 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 EcoVadis onboarding team accompanies customers through a series of guided workshops, meetings, and topics, designed to set up a strong and successful foundation for their sustainable procurement goals with EcoVadis. 

The Account Onboarding Manager reports to the Onboarding Director and the scope of the role is as follows:

As an Account Onboarding Manager you will work with a diverse set of companies 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. You will be the project head for multiple customers 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. 

The onboarding phase of the customer journey comes to a close when the key onboarding program objectives are achieved, the tactical and strategic roadmap is documented and presented during a customer executive steering committee. After this period, the Onboarding team transitions the customer over to the Customer Success / Account Management team. 

Being a successful Account Onboarding Manager requires strong project management skills.
