Job description

We immerse ourselves in the intricacies of finance digitization, subscription management, compliance, and revenue management which gives us the power to make a real impact. Once we understand how an organization works, we can implement software solutions that provide the clarity, confidence, and control they need to drive growth and achieve their ambitions.

Aptitude has served the offices of finance for over 20 years, delivering financial control and insights to empower our clients to achieve their strategies and ambitions. We are currently serving over 75 CFOs whose organisations generate a combined revenue of over $1 Trillion.

We are proud of our growing team of smart, motivated and passionate people, and believe diverse experiences and perspectives build stronger teams and better solutions.

Headquartered in London, we have seven office locations around the world with clients across four continents.

What you'll do and what we offer

The key responsibilities are:

Providing an advanced level of functional and technical support to Aptitude Software’s customers regarding the company’s product portfolio.

That’s all important, true, but …

… in reality the only thing that matters is to (paraphrasing Pratchett’s words) “not only to find out whodunit, but howdunit too” not even being sure “what they dun”. So, if you have that detectivistic mind-set and enough technical knowledge to pinpoint evidence – you will be very welcome in the Second Line Support team. CSI for software, yeah!
