The Problems You'll Solve
At Carta, our employees set out on a mission to unlock the power of equity ownership for more people in more places. We believe that the problems we solve today unlock the opportunities of tomorrow. As Onboarding Lead, you'll own the first six months that determine whether a client becomes a long- term partner — converting booked MRR into live, retained revenue and setting every account up for long-term success.
The Onboarding Lead will
• Own the onboarding journey from signed contract through to Customer Success Manager (CSM) handoff — acting as the single accountable point for client experience during implementation.
• Project-manage each implementation: define timelines, set milestones, coordinate internal teams, and keep every onboarding on track.
• Act as the primary client contact throughout onboarding — resolving questions quickly, maintaining momentum, and building trust from day one.
• Collaborate with Account Executives at handoff to fully understand client expectations, commitments made during the sales process, and any pricing adjustments needed.
• Identify and escalate blockers early, before they affect client sentiment or timelines — proactively managing risk across your onboarding portfolio.
• Conduct formal, structured handoffs to the CSM team — delivering a complete account brief covering client goals, relationship context, risks, and commercial details.
• Track and report on time-to-revenue, milestone completion rate, and CSAT throughout each onboarding — using data to continuously improve the process.
• Contribute to playbook development, sharing learnings that raise the bar for onboarding across the team.
The Team You'll Work With
You'll be joining our Carta Law Customer Success (CS) team. We manage the full client lifecycle — from welcoming new clients through onboarding to building deep, lasting relationships with established fund managers and their legal teams.
We sit at the intersection of legal delivery, commercial strategy, and operations. Day-to-day you'll work closely with AEs, legal delivery, and the CSM team. You'll report to the Global Head of CS and work as part of a growing global team across London and New York
