As a German-speaking Onboarding Consultant, you will be responsible for ensuring new customers and existing customers enabling new IDnow products are correctly deployed in the most time-efficient manner possible, utilising as much of IDnow's products and services as is relevant to their context.

You are the customer's primary point of contact from kickoff through hypercare. Your mandate is to implement what the customer bought, to the highest standard, and to hand off a stable, value-delivering deployment to the Customer Success Manager.

Key Responsibilities

Handover & Kickoff

• Fully absorb the SE handover (solution documents, technical specs, regulatory context, stakeholder mapping) and surface the customer's real pain points and compliance requirements before implementation begins.
• Lead the project kickoff — establishing governance, roles, and communication cadence, and aligning all stakeholders on a clear, time-bound delivery roadmap covering scope, milestones, and acceptance criteria.
• Own the Go Live date from day one — set it at kickoff, drive every stakeholder to meet it. It is a commitment, not a target.

Technical Implementation & Delivery

• Operate as the lead point of contact and accountable delivery owner throughout the entire onboarding phase.
• Manage end-to-end technical implementation: REST API integration, Mobile SDK deployments (iOS, Android, React Native), identity flow configuration, and third-party system connections.
• Develop and maintain a living integration map for each customer (architecture, data flows, authentication model, SDK/API usage patterns, third-party dependencies) — handed over to the CSM at handoff.
• Proactively share IDnow integration best practices throughout implementation (API usage patterns, error handling, retry logic, webhook reliability, SDK standards, security) and challenge deviations from them.
• Act as the customer's trusted advisor — evangelise IDnow's technology in their specific context and explore the "art of the possible" beyond the initial scope.

Issue Management & Internal Collaboration

• Act as the primary escalation point for all technical and product issues, communicating progress to the customer with full transparency and ensuring they always have a clear next step or workaround.
• Liaise with Product and Technical teams to resolve issues; report recurring blockers with structured, evidence-based feedback.
• Escalate critical blockers to management with full context (customer impact, SLA risk, proposed resolution path).
• Ensure implementation strictly reflects contracted scope — flag any out-of-scope requests to the relevant Commercial or CSM owner.

Hypercare & Stabilization

• Own the hypercare phase post-go-live, tracking KPIs: conversion rate, open issue volume, SLA compliance, and end-user experience metrics.
• Hand off to CSM only when KPI stability is reached and agreed success criteria are met — maintaining a clear view of the gap between actual performance and contracted targets throughout.

Customer Relationship

• Build and maintain strong relationships with technical decision-makers (data standards, programming, IT architecture, security) and articulate benefits at all stakeholder levels to drive buy-in.
• Support the pre-sale process including technical workshops, costed SoWs, and high-level project plans.
• Prepare whitepapers, articles, and content to educate and engage potential and existing clients.

Preferred Experience

• 3+ years of experience as either a Technical Account Manager or a Technical Project Manager, in a SaaS environment .
• Always on the lookout for evolutions in legislation and regulations that are relevant to our customers and their markets.
• Understanding of security principles and data protection regulation .
• Ability to identify benefits that are relevant for all levels to improve the buy-in of customers.
• Knowledge of web technologies , REST API, JSON.
• Knowledge of mobile technologies : native Android and iOS, Cordova and React native, and SDKs.
• Practical experience with at least one programming language – ideally Python, Java, JavaScript, Swift/Objective-C is a plus.

• Autonomous in project management and client relationships.
• Ability to translate complex and/or technical information to different audiences.
