Manage onboarding logistics, pre-requisite tracking, communications, and briefing cadences across multiple time zones and business units. Partner with Frontline Managers to define their role in onboarding success — including coaching expectations, grading rubrics, feedback loops, and 1:1 debriefs. Monitor program performance through clear KPIs: certification progress, participation, time to first deal, early attrition, and onboarding satisfaction. Coordinate closely with the Global Sales Enablement, Academy, and Sales Ops teams to ensure data, systems, and content are aligned for scale. What Success Looks Like A global, scalable onboarding experience that accelerates seller ramp time and reinforces IFS’s value proposition, tools, and methodology from day one.
