Customer Onboarding Project Manager

You will be the driving force behind every new customer's first experience with Airship. As the primary point of contact during onboarding, you will coordinate end-to-end technical implementations, keep cross-functional teams accountable, and make sure customers go live on time and with confidence. Your goal: turn new customers into successful, long-term Airship users by delivering a smooth, well-organized onboarding experience from kickoff through handoff.

This role sits at the intersection of project management, customer experience, and technology. You will manage multiple onboarding projects simultaneously, working closely with both customer teams and internal stakeholders to align technical execution with business goals. You will also have the opportunity to shape how we use AI to make our onboarding process faster, smarter, and more scalable.
