Direct message the job poster from Saa Slyte

We at Saa Slyte are partnering with a global, product‑led SaaS company with a broad B2B suite (CRM, CX, marketing, finance, custom apps & more). For their German hub in the Essen area, we’re looking for a Customer Onboarding Specialist (DACH) who wants to own the first steps of the customer journey – from “we’ve just bought” to “this really works for our business”.

This is not classic support and not pure sales. It’s a mix of consulting, training and customer success
: you translate business needs into smart setups, guide customers through their first months and make sure they actually get value from the product.

• You own the start of the journey
  :
  You’re the first dedicated contact after purchase – you set the tone for the whole relationship.
• Combination of tech & people
  :
  You work hands‑on in the product (config, workflows, basic integrations)
  and run workshops, trainings and live sessions.
• Real impact on adoption & churn
  :
  Good onboarding = higher usage, expansion and low churn. Your work is directly visible in the numbers.
• Multi-product SaaS world
  :
  Customers don’t just use one tool – you help them connect CRM, CX and more into one working setup.
• Growth path
  :
  From onboarding specialist to a profile close to consulting / technical account management with strategic customers.

• Act as the primary contact after the sale for new DACH customers and guide them through a structured onboarding.
• Run online onboarding sessions, trainings and workshops (occasionally on‑site) for teams and key users.
• Understand customer goals and processes, then design a clear onboarding plan (1–3 months depending on size and package).
• Configure the product together with the customer: fields, workflows, automations, permissions, basic integrations, etc.
• Show best practices and concrete use cases so customers can work independently after onboarding.
• Track onboarding progress, document key decisions and ensure a clean handover to Customer Success & Support
  .
• Work closely with Sales, Presales, Customer Success and Support to align expectations and solve edge cases.
• Help improve playbooks, templates and training material based on what you learn in your sessions.

• 2+ years experience in a customer‑facing role such as Onboarding, Customer Success, Implementation, Presales or Technical Support – ideally in SaaS or software
  .
• Fluent German (customer‑facing) and very good English (internal, documentation, global team).
• Clear technical affinity
  :
• you understand how SaaS tools, business processes and data flows connect
• you like working in admin interfaces, settings, workflows and automations
• Experience with CRM or other B2B SaaS platforms is a big plus.
• Nice‑to‑have (not a must):
• Background in presales, implementation or consulting
• First experience with APIs, automation or integrations
• Creating or improving training material / playbooks
• You’re structured and proactive
  : you can manage several onboardings in parallel and keep stakeholders aligned.
• You’re based in NRW / Essen area
  , have valid EU work authorization and are happy to work in a hybrid setup.

• Location: Office in the Essen area
  , hybrid work.
• Onsite: Around 3 days per week in the office for collaboration with Sales, Presales, CS and Support.
• Travel: Occasional customer visits in the DACH region + trips to other European offices and to the global product hubs (e.g. India) for deeper enablement.

Benefits (high level):

• Competitive salary aligned with your experience and local market
• Permanent contract (after probation)
  Company‑provided lunch
• Supportive, international team and a people‑first culture
• Reimbursement of approved business expenses
