D-EDGE CRM helps hotels build stronger guest relationships and grow direct revenue by centralising guest data, enabling smart segmentation, and powering personalised communications and automations across the guest journey.

YOUR SCOPE

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.

YOUR MISSIONS

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

• Actively participate in building and improving implementation processes, templates, and best practices
