The job

As part of our continuing growth, we are seeking to recruit additional Business Analysts to work in our client success department.

Implementations are the first chance our business gets to work closely with new clients. This is where we’re installing and configuring our system to meet our client’s needs. We’re focused on building successful and lasting relationships with our clients because we make each other successful in the long run. Working on existing client projects you’ll be helping everyone understand what’s needed and how we deliver it. One of the things that makes us so different from our competitors is the ability for clients to configure our software to do exactly what they want. You’re central to this process and making sure what we do for them is the right thing and is understood by everyone. Whatever you work on, our business analysts are collaborative, great communicators, and make sure our quality is top notch.
