Onboarding Associate, New Accounts

This is more than onboarding—it’s the moment where trust is built, momentum is created, and the client journey takes shape.

As an Onboarding Associate, you will serve as a critical early touchpoint for new clients, guiding them from application through account setup to funding readiness. Your focus is to keep clients moving forward, reduce friction, and ensure a seamless transition to our Incoming Transfers team.

You start your day by reviewing your onboarding pipeline—quickly identifying where you can drive progress.

You review submitted documents, resolve issues early, and ensure everything is accurate and complete.

Throughout the day, you maintain momentum—answering questions, sending targeted follow-ups, and guiding clients toward funding readiness.

You prepare clients for handoff—confirming all requirements are met and ensuring a smooth transition to the next team.
