• Guiding new partners through technical implementation and migration, mapping workflow changes to ensure smooth adoption.

• Driving "sell through" activities by presenting at industry events to educate the community on platform expansion.

Where and how you can work

This role offers a flexible hybrid working model, blending the benefits of working from home with purposeful collaboration in our modern office spaces. You will participate in "boost days" designed to bring our teams together for connection and creative problem-solving. We can also explore the opportunity to work remotely.

Here are some of the things we're looking for, for this role

• You bring deep operational experience within an accounting or bookkeeping firm, allowing you to speak the language of our partners fluently.

• A talent for leading technical discovery in complex environments and defining clear solution strategies for diverse stakeholders is essential.

• You possess the ability to translate intricate technical concepts into persuasive, clear stories for both training sessions and executive presentations.

• Solving problems comes naturally to you, especially when it involves diagnosing technical hurdles and providing actionable solutions.

• You enjoy collaborating across sales, marketing, and product teams to ensure the customer remains at the heart of every decision.

• Background in pre-sales, technical account management, or professional services would be a fantastic addition to the team.
