The Payment Success Specialist – Activation is a pivotal, high-impact role that shapes the first impression and long-term success of Weave’s payments customers. As a trusted advisor and subject matter expert, you will lead customers through a strategic, white-glove onboarding journey — transforming the activation experience into a catalyst for sustained adoption, revenue growth, and operational transformation.

In this role, you are not simply enabling transactions — you are architecting how new customers integrate payments into their business model from day one. You’ll design activation strategies tailored to each customer’s workflows, train their teams with precision, and guide them through early adoption milestones that lay the foundation for long-term success. Your ability to influence behavior, anticipate challenges, and drive measurable outcomes will directly impact retention, revenue, and customer lifetime value.
