The role of the Implementation Specialist requires superb communication and project management capabilities, organizational and problem solving skills, as well as keen attention to detail.

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English
• Able to develop relationships with all levels of the organisation, both internally and externally, and adapt the communication accordingly

What’d we’d like but not essential:

• Studies in Project Management

• Prior experience in a SAAS implementation role

What we always look for:

• Highly organised and possess a high level of administration ability and “can-do” attitude
• Keen eye for detail
• Customer focus
• Culture / team fit
• Passionate
• Calm and can handle pressure
• Smart, fast learner and tech savvy
