Onboarding Team Lead

Who are we?

We are Nominal, and we’re building the financial operating system for the most ambitious and fast-growing companies of our generation. We combined big data and GenAI to disrupt the ERP space that hasn’t changed in the last 25 years - and we have a staggering amount of work ahead. That means you have an unprecedented opportunity to enhance the global economy while doing the most important work of your career.

Nominal’s culture is fast-paced, dynamic, with high focus on execution. The team includes engineers and operators from Netapp, Microsoft, Varonis, BigPanda, Riskified, HiBob, Armis, CheckPoint, and similar backgrounds. Expect an environment where smart, hands-on leadership is celebrated, and thoughtful ownership, initiative and open communication are part of the core values.

Join our journey

We're looking for an Onboarding Team Lead to own the end-to-end implementation and onboarding experience at Nominal — and to build the team that delivers it. You'll play a critical role at the intersection of product, engineering, and customer success, ensuring customers go live quickly, successfully, and expand over time.

This role is both hands-on and managerial. You'll personally lead complex customer implementations while also building, managing, and mentoring a growing onboarding team. You'll collaborate closely with Sales, Product, and R&D teams to influence the roadmap, validate new features, and ensure customers get measurable value from every release. You'll also define how onboarding works at Nominal — creating processes, measuring success, and continuously iterating to improve outcomes as we scale.

Requirements:
