If so, this may be an opportunity for you. Read on and decide for yourself.
As a Client Onboarding Specialist, you will provide the first interaction between small business clients and ADP's industry-leading payroll and HR solutions after sale. Building strong relationships with clients and seamlessly implementing ADP's technologies, you will ensure your clients are set up for long-term success with ADP. Even more, you'll make an immediate impact once ADP's services are delivered on the day-to-day lives of your clients' employees - from paychecks to health benefits and beyond.
You will spend most of your day answering calls from the queue and following up on open items to ensure your clients' needs are met and that they are comfortable using our products and services. Still, every day will be different because you will meet new clients daily, within different geographies and industries, and the solutions you provide each client will differ based on their unique needs. This will keep things interesting, and our top-ranked training will help to set you up for success!
To thrive in this role, you must be comfortable working in a metrics-driven call center environment as part of a structured day. You have a way with clients that builds rapport, establishes trust, and shines with professionalism.

- Onboard Clients. You'll create exceptional onboarding experiences for each product or service implementation. Through your expertise and relationship-building, you'll help clients develop the skills and confidence to use our products with ease.
- Implement ADP Technologies. You will analyze existing systems, interface requirements, and business processes. You will incorporate new processes, tools, and approaches when recommending and implementing the ADP solution.
- Partner Internally. You will interact/collaborate with ADP associates in sales and customer service. You will exchange routine information with members of the client project team, including priorities, timeliness, and issues as they arise.
- Multi-Task & Communicate. You will work on multiple time-sensitive follow-ups/projects at the same time. You will share essential information with clients and internal teams.
- You adhere to a daily schedule and organize yourself to deal with a high volume of inbound calls. Daily phone time may increase during peak seasons, like at the close of the year.
TO SUCCEED IN THIS ROLE: Required Qualifications
- Prior experience is not required; we will train you to be successful!
- You can work overtime hours during peak seasons
- Bilingual in English and Spanish is a plus!
YOU'LL ALSO LOVE WORKING HERE BECAUSE YOU CAN:

- Focus on your mental health and well-being. We're here to provide exceptional service to our clients, and none of that happens without each of us taking care of ourselves and being there for one another.

Implementation Specialist Jobs in California: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a implementation specialist in California?
Most implementation specialists in California enter the field through a bachelor's degree in information systems, business administration, or computer science, followed by experience in software support, business analysis, or client-facing technical roles. California employers typically value platform-specific certifications such as Salesforce Administrator, Epic implementation credentials, or Workday certification over state-issued licenses, as no California state license governs this role. Building hands-on experience with enterprise systems through associate or junior roles is the most reliable path.
Which companies hire implementation specialists in California?
Employers hiring implementation specialists in California right now include ADP, Airgas, and Bank of Hope, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. California's concentration of enterprise software headquarters, large health systems, and fintech firms makes it one of the most consistent states for ongoing implementation specialist demand.
Which California cities have the most implementation specialist jobs?
Sacramento, San Francisco, and La Palma account for the most implementation specialist openings in California. San Francisco leads because of its dense concentration of enterprise SaaS and cloud software headquarters, Los Angeles draws volume from healthcare and media technology firms, and San Diego's biotech and defense technology sectors generate consistent demand for specialists with clinical or systems integration backgrounds.
Are there remote implementation specialist jobs in California?
Yes, and more than most fields. Implementation specialist work is largely desk-based, involving software configuration, client calls, and documentation rather than on-site physical work, which makes remote arrangements common. About 40% of implementation specialist openings tied to California are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, reflecting how broadly California tech employers have adopted flexible work. The most fully remote openings tend to be in SaaS and CRM implementations rather than healthcare IT, which often requires some on-site go-live support.
How can I get hired as a implementation specialist in California with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is moving from a customer success, technical support, or business analyst role into implementation. Large California employers like Kaiser Permanente, Salesforce, and major health systems post associate implementation consultant and junior onboarding specialist roles designed for candidates without direct implementation experience. Earning a Salesforce Administrator certification or completing Epic's official training program significantly improves your chances. Applying to software vendor training programs or clinical informatics associate roles at California hospital networks are two of the most effective starting points.
Where can I find and apply to implementation specialist jobs in California?
