Merchant Onboarding Specialist Alternative Horizons Group | West Palm Beach, FL (On-Site) Pay: $70,000 – $75,000 per year Type: Full-time About Alternative Horizons Group We dont just process payments. We protect businesses. If youre the kind of person who runs toward problems instead of around them, keep reading. The Opportunity We need a Merchant Onboarding Specialist to own the process from the moment a merchant says yes through processor approval. Youll run live onboarding calls with business owners, collect and validate business documents, prepare and submit applications to processor partners, and manage the underwriting process until the merchant is approved and ready to go live. This is the highest-leverage role in the pipeline. Every deal that stalls between commitment and approval is revenue that dies on the vine. Your speed, accuracy, and merchant communication directly determine how fast we develop. You are not in sales. You are not in customer service. You are the bridge between a merchants verbal commitment and their first live transaction. You own that bridge. What Success Looks Like First 30 Days (You Watch, We Do) Shadow 15-20 live onboarding calls to learn the process, the systems, and the merchant types. Study the gold standard call recordings. Learn the document requirements by entity type (LLC, corporation, sole proprietorship). Get comfortable with Onboarding Hub, IRIS CRM, and PandaDoc. Submit your first 3-5 applications with oversight. Give daily end-of-day reports covering wins, challenges, and what youd improve. 60 Days (We Do Together): Handle routine onboarding calls with oversight and post-call review. Independently prepare and submit clean application packages for straightforward merchants (single-owner LLC, standard hemp/CBD). Manage stipulation responses with minimal guidance. Begin handling your own follow-up cadence for outstanding documents. Process 8-10 merchant applications end-to-end. 90 Days (You Do, We Watch) Independently run onboarding calls for all standard merchant types. Submit clean packages with no oversight needed. Handle underwriting liaison work independently. Know when to escalate (complex entity structures, unusual compliance situations, pricing questions) and when to solve it yourself. Process 12-15 merchant applications per month. Contribute to process improvement — if you find a gap, you document it and propose a fix. Core Values These arent wall decorations. Theyre how we operate, how we hire, and how we evaluate performance. Run Through The Storm When obstacles appear, we charge forward — not around them. We face challenges with an unshakeable belief that solutions exist, and we have the tenacity to find them. We embrace well figure it out as a real strategy because it is one. Own Your Outcomes. We take full accountability for attitude, effort, and preparation. When something goes wrong, we focus energy on solutions, not circumstances. We follow the 1-3-1 rule: when you bring a problem, bring three possible solutions and your recommendation. We dont dump problems on other peoples desks without having tried to solve them first. Compound Value: Every interaction makes the relationship stronger. Every problem solved becomes documented knowledge. Every client success becomes proof for the next client. We dont just process transactions — we compound value for merchants, for the team, and for ourselves. Excellence scales through systems, not heroics. If you solve it once, document it so nobody has to solve it again. Growth Path Junior Merchant Onboarding Specialist - Learn the process, master the systems, build accuracy.
