The Client Onboarding Manager owns and manages Brundage Groups onboarding engine. Ensuring every signed client and expansion moves from contract to live on a predictable timeline. They take each signed client or expansion, stand up the project, and drive it to go-live; delivering a live client with a clean handoff to the Client Success and Operations teams. The Client Onboarding Manager informs leadership exactly where every deal sits between booked and billing throughout the projects' cycles, leads the Onboarding Team, and evolves the required project onboarding toolset from the baseline capabilities already in place today. They own the book-to-bill status reporting executives, and the board rely on, ensure onboarding timeline and metrics are met, and are responsible for ensuring a smooth and successful onboarding and transition through stabilization. This role runs on communication and follow-through. It's the person who gets clients and internal teams to do the right thing, on time, without being chased.

  • Sales Handoff & Intake: Owns the Sales-to-Onboarding handoff, defining what a complete handoff requires (signed contract/SOW, scope, pricing, key contacts, success criteria) and enforcing it. Sets and runs the cadence for taking handoff from Sales at contract signature.

  • Team Leadership: Leads, coaches, and develops a team who supports detailed task tracking and communications. Assigns work across the portfolio and sets standards for timeliness, accuracy, and quality. Serves as escalation point for complex client or project issues.
  • Reporting & Book-to-Bill: Owns and maintains critical book-to-bill status reporting across all onboarding projects.
