About the Role
At Formations, our customers are at the heart of everything we do. Their first 60 days set the tone for long-term success — and that’s where you come in.
As an Onboarding Manager, you’ll serve as a trusted guide, educator, and project manager for new customers as they launch their journey with Formations. You’ll help them navigate key onboarding milestones, understand their new S-Corp setup, and gain confidence in managing their business finances.
You’ll work closely with Customer Success Managers (CSMs) and cross-functional partners to ensure every customer is set up for success — both operationally and strategically. This role blends customer success, project management, and program improvement, making it ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, customer-first environment.
The first Implementation Manager will also play a critical role in building and refining the program — identifying friction points, driving efficiency, and continuously improving the onboarding experience.
What You’ll Do
You'll be working with customers who are genuinely building something — solo entrepreneurs and self-employed professionals who have put their livelihood on the line. The difference you make in their year, financially and operationally, is real. This role puts you at the center of that.
We're a fast-moving team that values people who take ownership, communicate directly, and care about the quality of their work. If you want to be a named resource your customers actually rely on — not a ticket number in a queue — this is that role.
Compensation $70-75k

The Company
What We Do
Formations is a fintech startup with an innovative approach to taxes and accounting. We provide a predictive tax and accounting solution for the self-employed. Our customers are full-time self-employed, entrepreneurs who chose self-employment as a career. We have developed a unique strategy that leverages technology alongside human expertise to automate bookkeeping, payroll, taxes, and benefit allocations throughout the year. This helps self-employed professionals save on taxes, secure their futures, and achieve financial well-being while reducing the time and energy spent managing back-office tasks. We believe that being independent shouldn’t mean being alone and we’re here to help.
Why Work With Us
We help real people solve real problems. We're not an enterprise solution or another startup that helps corporations be more efficient. We're build a solution that delivers real value to real people. We put people first and believe in the power of people to make a real difference in the world. It's why we chose to focus on the self-employed.
