The Vice President of Professional Services leads onboarding and activation for new and existing Edenred Pay customers across all product lines, including invoice automation, virtual card, ACH and platform integrations. The role owns the delivery process end to end, from the handoff at contract signature through the transition to the ongoing account owner, and it is accountable for a quick and smooth, customer centric approach towards successful payment transactions. This includes ongoing account/property set up for existing multi-entity customers. The role leads through managers and does not carry a personal queue of customer projects. The base Edenred Pay is a private equity backed business expected to grow from roughly $60 million toward $100 million and beyond in revenue. Onboarding capacity has to grow with the sales plan without adding people at the same rate, so this role is expected to build process, tooling, and automation that raise throughput per Professional Service employee.

Essential Functions: Duties and Responsibilities

The Vice President of Professional Services evaluates operational processes and procedures and develops the strategies and delivery plans that standardize service delivery, client implementations, and change management. The role carries a multi-year plan for the function and is measured against progress towards it. Delivering that plan requires close collaboration with sales, product, account management, support, and operations.

The core responsibilities of the job include:

• Own delivery of onboarding and implementation for all Edenred Pay customers, from the handoff at close through the transition to the ongoing account owner.
• Own the operating metrics for the function, including time from signature to kickoff, time to first transaction, onboarding cycle time by segment, forecast accuracy on go-live dates, and the contribution of onboarding speed to gross revenue retention.
• Build and own a written two to three year professional services plan covering process, staffing, tooling, and automation, and present progress against it to executive leadership on a set cadence.
• Segment the onboarding customer base and build a delivery motion for each tier, so that large complex customers receive a managed delivery process and smaller customers receive a scaled or self-service path.
• Apply AI and automation inside the delivery process to raise capacity per person, including agent-assisted configuration and data setup, automated file and document mapping, AI-assisted requirements capture, and automated status reporting, and measure the capacity returned by each one.
• Own the onboarding and services tooling, keep every project, milestone, and date in the system of record, and retire the personal spreadsheets and manual trackers that sit outside it.
• Work directly with sales leadership on the front end of the customer journey, including the requirements gathered before close and the standard for a complete handoff, and hold that agreement with the sales leaders and the Chief Revenue Officer.
• Plan, develop, and manage customer projects, including scope, budget, and margin on all engagements, and build the professional services revenue plan.
• Establish the service standards for delivery and publish them so that account management, operations, sales, and support work to the same definition of “done”.
• Document the delivery process and the account history in shared systems, so that the function keeps running without dependency on individuals.
• Partner with product and engineering on the defects and product gaps that slow onboarding, and bring evidence from delivery data to those conversations.
• Develop and price new services based on customer needs.
• Understand the competitive landscape in AP automation and B2B payments, working with the product marketing department.
