The Role

We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled Software Implementation Specialist to join our team. In this role, you’ll play a key part in ensuring seamless onboarding and implementation for existing clients as they add additional products to their Kinetic product suite.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a tech-savvy, customer-focused professional who thrives on collaboration and enjoys making an impact.

You will work closely with our Head of Operations and the wider PS team to ensure every project is delivered on time, to scope, and to a standard our customers are proud of. As we scale, you will also contribute to process improvement and help embed consistent delivery practices across the team.

• Provide configuration support on North American projects where required — collaborating with the NA PS team

Sales & Pre-Sales Support

Continuous Improvement

• Identify opportunities to improve delivery processes, reduce implementation timelines, and increase customer satisfaction

• Support the development of scalable PS practices

What You'll Bring

Core Experience

• Minimum 3 years' experience in a software implementation, project management, or professional services delivery role

• Proven ability to manage multiple concurrent projects and competing priorities

• Confident trainer - comfortable delivering both on-site and remote training sessions to a range of user groups

• Strong communicator with the interpersonal skills to build trusted relationships with customers at all levels

• Highly organised with excellent attention to detail

• Technical aptitude - able to quickly learn complex software, understand system integrations, and troubleshoot configuration issues

Nice to Have
