What You’ll Do:
- Owning the end-to-end onboarding experience for new restaurant customers, from kickoff through go-live
- Configuring and testing each account so Hostie reflects the restaurant's voice, menu, hours, and policies accurately from day one
- Communicating clearly and warmly with restaurant owners and staff — many of whom are not technical — via email, phone, and text
- Troubleshooting setup and integration issues (POS, reservations, and other platform connections) and knowing when to loop in product or engineering
- Managing multiple onboardings concurrently without letting any one account fall behind
- Building and refining onboarding playbooks, templates, and documentation so the process gets faster and more consistent as we grow
- Partnering with Sales and Customer Support to ensure a smooth handoff both into and out of onboarding
- Tracking and reporting on onboarding metrics (time-to-go-live, completion rate, early activation) and flagging patterns that could improve the process
What We’re Looking For:
- You have 2-4+ years of experience in B2B SaaS Implementation or Customer Onboarding
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a kind, empathetic, customer-first approach
- Highly organized and process-oriented — you build structure rather than wait for it
- Comfort with ambiguity and an early-stage environment where processes are still being defined
- A "thinks scalably" mindset — you solve the problem in front of you while also asking how to make it repeatable
- Familiarity with CRM/support tools (e.g., HubSpot, Salesforce, Intercom, or similar); hospitality tech experience (POS, reservations, or restaurant software) is a strong plus
Why Join Us:
- A fast-growing market, and a chance to make a real impact: The restaurant technology space is expanding quickly, driven by rising demand for digital operations, reservations, and guest experience tools - and restaurants are under more pressure than ever to modernize. You'll join a lean, high-growth team where your work directly shapes how restaurants run better and where individual contributions have outsized impact on the business and the success of the customers we support.
- Collaborative environment: You'll receive support and guidance from experienced colleagues and managers, helping you learn, grow, and achieve your personal/professional goals.
What Else You Need to Know:
- The yearly total cash compensation for this role is $75-$90k. Actual compensation will be determined on an individual basis and may vary depending on location, experience, skills, and qualifications. Base salary is just one part of your total rewards package - full-time positions are also eligible for equity awards and benefits.
- Hostie is a remote-first company. Our HQ is in San Francisco, CA but our team is fully distributed with no onsite requirements.
