Dealer Onboarding & Financial Implementation Manager
Location: Dallas–Fort Worth, TX Metro — Onsite
Pay Rate: $65,000 – $80,000/year, DOE, plus quarterly performance bonus
A venture-backed, high-growth fintech company building critical financial infrastructure for automotive dealerships and lenders nationwide is hiring its first dedicated Dealer Onboarding & Financial Implementation Manager. This is a rare ground-floor opportunity: you'll walk into an active backlog of signed dealership customers and become the single owner who takes them from signed agreement to fully verified, payment-enabled, and live on the platform.
This is not a sales role, and it's not a pure customer-support seat — it's a hands-on implementation and financial-operations role where precision matters because your work touches real money movement. The company moves fast, avoids micromanagement, and is looking for someone self-directed enough to build the process as they run it.
Role Responsibilities
- Own the end-to-end onboarding process — from signed customer through successful activation and first transaction.
- Coordinate dealership enrollment requirements: business documentation, authorized users, banking/funding information, and required agreements.
- Manage financial verification and payment setup: bank account verification, ACH authorization, funding-source setup, and exception resolution.
- Partner cross-functionally to complete system, DMS, platform, and account configuration.
- Proactively identify blockers and drive them to resolution rather than letting implementations stall.
- Build and maintain repeatable onboarding checklists, workflows, SLAs, escalation paths, and reporting.
- Coordinate customer training and go-live readiness.
- Track pipeline, aging, blockers, time-to-live, and activation metrics.
- Continuously improve the onboarding experience as volume scales.
Compensation & Perks
- Base salary: $65,000–$80,000, based on experience
- Company-wide quarterly performance bonus program
- Potential equity eligibility for top performers as the company grows
- Medical insurance, sental and vision insurance
- Self-directed 401(k) plan (invest in mutual funds, stocks, or bonds of your choice)
- Benefits eligibility begins the first of the month following your start date (30+ hours/week)
- Clear growth path toward a Director-level or leadership role as this function scales — the company builds from within rather than hiring over top performers
- Flexible remote day potential after an initial onsite ramp-up period, based on performance
Requirements
- 2+ years of hands-on experience owning B2B customer onboarding or implementation that includes financial, banking, payment, or identity/business verification
- Preferred: automotive dealership, DMS/auto-tech platform, ACH/merchant onboarding, treasury implementation, or KYB/KYC experience
- Preferred: Bachelor's degree, not required
