About us
At GoCardless we believe bank payments are the best way to pay and get paid. We also believe that bank account data is a powerful tool to make better, faster decisions. We’re making it easy to use both- for businesses everywhere.
GoCardless is used for domestic and international payments by 85,000+ organisations and counting, processing more than $30 billion across 30 countries. We are headquartered in the UK, with additional offices in Australia, France, Latvia and the United States.
The team
The EMEA team is a group of people who come from all over the world to help grow our ever expanding region in a great environment. It’s not unusual to see us enjoying a meal or drinks together in our lovely office at the heart of Paris. What drives us is the desire to have an impact and make the European region shine whilst acting as one team, and a fun one!
The role
As a Paris-based Customer Onboarding Specialist, you will be responsible for the successful implementation of GoCardless by newly signed businesses looking to take bank payments (e.g. SEPA, Instant Bank Pay, Bacs and ACH) from their customers in France & across the globe utilizing our global payments network.

- Take on more complex mid-market and enterprise implementations (at first in a supporting capacity and eventually leading each of the merchants within your portfolio) through the relevant milestones of their onboarding journey. Ensure any sticking points are identified and resolved quickly.
- Collaborate with Customer Success Managers (CSMs) to develop risk mitigation strategies to guide customers through their implementation within the expected timeframe, enabling them to achieve their desired outcomes.
