Head of Client Onboarding
Codex
Role Description This is a hands-on founding role: you will personally run clients through onboarding while building the systems, workflows, and automation that allow the function to scale. Codex is growing its client base rapidly — fintechs, PSPs, and institutional clients. Your job is to own the onboarding process end-to-end today, and architect what it looks like at 10x volume tomorrow. You'll report directly to the CEO and work closely with Sales, Compliance, and Engineering. Responsibilities - Client Onboarding Execution - Own the KYB process from initiation to completion — ensuring collection of corporate documentation, managing RFIs, coordinating with Compliance on risk determinations, and ensuring clients are cleared and activated as fast as possible. - Serve as the primary operational point of contact for clients through onboarding by setting expectations, chasing outstanding items, and keeping deals moving without losing the relationship. - Work with each new financial partner to understand their onboarding requirements and figure out the right process from scratch, adapting quickly as requirements evolve. - Coordinate with Trading Operations on account activation once KYB is complete. - Process Design & Automation - Document and systematise the current manual onboarding process — identifying what's repeatable, what's fragile, and where the biggest bottlenecks are. - Build the strategic roadmap for transitioning from manual to automated KYB — sequencing what gets automated first, what requires human judgement, and what the target state looks like. - Work directly with Engineering to spec and prioritise automation — you'll need to understand the problem deeply enough to translate it into product requirements. - Design and maintain onboarding workflows, checklists, and documentation standards that allow the function to scale to multiple staff members. - Cross-functional Coordination - Partner with Sales to ensure onboarding timelines are set correctly and deals don't stall after signing. - Work closely with Compliance to stay current on KYB policy, risk appetite changes, and new documentation requirements as Codex expands into new markets. - Feed client feedback on onboarding friction directly into the product and engineering roadmap. Qualifications - 5 to 10 years of hands-on experience in client onboarding, KYB, or operations at a fintech, PSP, neobank, or payments company. - Strong familiarity with corporate KYB including entity structures, UBOs, documentation standards across multiple jurisdictions. - Experience owning one-to-many onboarding processes and improving them over time. - Experience working with Engineering teams on automation and tooling. - Strong written communication skills. You are clear, precise, and professional with clients and internal teams alike. - Detail-oriented but pragmatic — you'll drive the manual work that's needed today without losing sight of the automated future you're building toward. Nice to Have - Experience in the stablecoin or crypto payments space. - Familiarity with cross-border payment rails and the compliance requirements that vary by corridor. - Prior experience as the first or founding member of an onboarding function at an early-stage company.
