I thought you would be a good onboarding buddy to team up with [a new hire] as s/hethey's re still getting her/his their feet wet with Axelerant. [new hire] is a [role] working on the [project]. S/He They started on [date] with us. [New hire] has made great progress with settling into her/his their project & role here, but there are inevitably still questions, best practices, workflows, etc that you two can work through. [New hire] feel free to reach out to [onboarding buddy] with any [role] related questions. I am still always available for a touchpoint as well!
