4. Serve as a friendly, knowledgeable first point of contact via video, email, and chat
5. Proactively identify gaps, risks, or opportunities during onboarding and recommend best practices
6. Partner closely with Customer Success, Product, and Engineering teams to surface feedback and improve the onboarding experience
7. Help refine onboarding playbooks, templates, and documentation as we scale
8. Ensure customers complete onboarding feeling confident, informed, and excited to use Puzzle
