We're Hiring: Onboarding Specialist

We're looking for someone exceptional.

We're looking for someone who thrives on solving problems, creating order out of complexity, and delivering an exceptional experience for the people they serve.

At Out of the Box Solutions, we support individuals with developmental disabilities and their families throughout Oregon. The onboarding experience is often a family's first impression of our agency—and one of the most important experiences we provide.

This role requires someone who can think critically, manage multiple moving pieces, build meaningful relationships, and consistently follow through. The right person is equally comfortable navigating compliance requirements, supporting families, and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.

We're looking for someone who combines high emotional intelligence with exceptional execution—someone who is organized, proactive, detail-oriented, and motivated by excellence. If you take ownership of your work, enjoy being challenged, and take pride in delivering results while making a meaningful difference in people's lives, we'd love to meet you.

As our Onboarding Specialist, you'll serve as the central point of coordination for new families and Direct Support Professionals (DSPs), ensuring every onboarding experience is welcoming, professional, compliant, and efficient.

Responsibilities include:

• Leading the onboarding process for families and Direct Support Professionals from start to finish
• Coordinating interviews, intake appointments, documentation, and onboarding timelines

• Highly organized and exceptionally detail-oriented
• A strong communicator who genuinely enjoys working with people
• Proficiency with technology and the ability to learn and navigate multiple software programs simultaneously

• Comfortable balancing compassion with accountability
• A critical thinker who enjoys solving problems
• Self-motivated and able to take ownership of their work
• Adaptable and able to pivot when priorities shift

•  Proven experience working with confidential information and maintaining a high level of accuracy and attention to detail
• Exceptional technology proficiency with the ability to quickly learn new software, manage multiple systems simultaneously, and adapt to changing processes with minimal training while maintaining accuracy and attention to detail
• Ability to independently problem-solve, exercise sound judgment, and follow tasks through to completion
• Valid driver's license, reliable transportation and ability to pass all required state and agency background checks
• Must be able to successfully pass all state-required background checks and meet all ODDS employment eligibility requirements.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working with individuals with developmental disabilities or within the human services field
