• Continuously refine and improve the onboarding process based on data‑driven insights and customer feedback.
• Collaborate with and provide feedback to product teams on platform features and usability to improve the client experience.

Skills and experience:

• Proven experience in software training and implementation/client integration in a B2B/Software/SaaS/PropTech environment.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills and a consultative approach, with the ability to build rapport and influence others.
• Excellent organisational and time management skills.
• A passion for technology and a keen eye for detail.
• A self‑starter with a positive attitude and a can‑do approach.
