Support customers through the implementation phase while developing your skills progressively — from observation to full project ownership — over the course of a 12-month apprenticeship.

🗓️ YOUR PROGRESSION OVER 12 MONTHS

Your apprenticeship is structured in three phases, each building on the last.

Phase 1 – Observation & adjustment (2 months)

You shadow the team and build your foundations:

• Active shadowing on customer calls (note-taking, client posture)

• Support with site configuration

• Participation in weekly team stand-ups

• Introduction to project tracking in Zoho Projects and reporting

Key skills to develop: overall understanding of the onboarder role, observation posture on customer calls, project tracking in Zoho.

Phase 2 – Supported ownership (3 months)

You take on your first direct responsibilities with supervision:

• Practice follow-up calls with mock scenarios

• Direct customer follow-ups on your tasks

• Support with site configuration

• Ownership of a defined scope (campaigns, app settings, etc.)

• Partial call facilitation (explaining adjustments to customers)

• First simple project in lead position, with supervision (month 6)

Key skills to develop: customer communication (written and verbal), task and deadline management within a project, organisation and prioritisation.

Phase 3 – Autonomy & consolidation (6+ months)

You operate independently on standard projects:

• Autonomous management of several standard implementation projects

• Site configuration support

• Sending recap emails and full follow-up (with supervision when needed)

• Sharing experience in internal meetings, with a project management posture

Key skills to develop: end-to-end project management, autonomous client relationship management, proactive approach and continuous improvement mindset.

You are accountable for progressively owning the implementation journey — from observation to full autonomy — over 12 months.

• Shadow customer calls, support site configuration, and learn project tracking tools (Zoho Projects) in your first weeks

• Support customers through kick-off, timeline setting, scope definition, and expectation alignment

• Guide customers in defining the right configuration (use cases, rules, segments, content, workflows)

• Coordinate actions with technology partners already used by the customer (e.g., PMS, channel manager, third-party tools) to secure integrations and dependencies

• Deliver or support customer training, validate autonomy, and drive adoption of key features

• Send recap emails and manage full follow-up, with supervision where needed

• Track implementation KPIs (time-to-go-live, completion rate, quality, satisfaction) and share insights with the team
