Essential Job Duties
When a new customer signs up to run payroll with BambooHR, getting their first payday right is critical.

You will serve as the vital bridge between sales and our Payroll Onboarding team, guiding clients through gathering, verifying, and submitting all required documents and data for a successful kickoff.
You will:
- Reach out to new clients within 24 hours of assignment to welcome them and outline the required next steps and timeline to get started with BambooHR.
- Guide clients through what onboarding data and documents are required, where to locate them, and how to upload them correctly (including screen-share coaching as needed).
- Gather and validate required signed documents, ensuring documents are complete, legible, and properly executed before handoff.
- Monitor intake progress daily to make sure the clients complete the necessary steps within the 7-business-day deadline, and proactively communicate gaps, risks, and due dates to the client to keep first pay date eligibility on track.
- Maintain accurate status tracking and clear handoff notes for downstream teams, ensuring all criteria are met before transition.
Fixed-Term Employment Details
