About Powdr
Powdr is a growing SAAS company transforming the way businesses and advisors build and use financial models. Our platform helps people create insightful, flexible models that support better decision-making. We’re on a mission to make financial modelling more accessible—and we’re looking for someone who can help spread our passion through a brilliant support &training wrap for our customers and partners.

The Role
We’re looking for an empathetic, adaptable Trainer who’s passionate about helping others succeed.

In this role, you’ll design and deliver both online and in-person training that empowers our customers, partners, and resellers to get the most out of the Powdr platform.

You’ll play a vital role in shaping our learning content and be a trusted guide as users build confidence and skills. What’s more exciting is very often you will be training business owners and entrepreneurs themselves, helping to guide them with a tool that can really make a difference to the success of their business.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys teaching, working with people, and contributing to a growing business in meaningful ways.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Designing and delivering inclusive, engaging training sessions (both virtual and in-person) tailored to different user groups—from business owners to accountants and sales partners.
• Creating learning materials and online content (videos, guides, tutorials) that support ongoing learning.
• Leading hands-on workshops to help users build real-world models using Powdr.
• Offering friendly, responsive support to customers around functionality and best practice.
• Working closely with teams across Powdr (Tech team, Customer Success, Product, and Marketing) to ensure training materials are up to date and aligned with user needs.
• Creating informative and accessible content for training-related communications and marketing (e.g. onboarding emails, helpful videos).
• Keeping an eye on industry trends to ensure our training stays relevant and helpful.
• Listening to feedback and using it to continuously improve training content and delivery.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience delivering training or educational content—this could be in a software, finance, education or other relevant setting.
• A clear, approachable communicator who enjoys helping others and building confidence in users.
• A collaborative mindset with a willingness to listen, adapt, and share ideas.
• Creative and organised, with an ability to develop learning content that’s engaging and easy to follow.
• A self-starter who enjoys working independently but values being part of a supportive team.
• Comfortable adapting training styles and materials to meet different learning needs.

Nice to Have (but Not Essential)

• Familiarity with financial modelling or experience working with finance or accounting professionals.
• Experience creating online learning materials or instructional design tools.
• Confidence in creating short-form content for marketing or onboarding purposes.

Why Join Us?
At Powdr, we believe in creating a supportive, flexible, and inclusive environment where everyone can do their best work. As a small and ambitious team, we offer a unique opportunity to help shape how we support our users and grow with the company. We value diverse perspectives and are committed to building a workplace where everyone feels welcomed and empowered.

You will be our first hire in this space and have the opportunity to truly shape the role as well as the company itself!

Here at Powdr we are a team of 12 people. Everyone is encouraged to share across the different specialities within the team and work together, sharing knowledge, expertise and skills.

Our Recruitment Process
We believe in finding the right person—not just the right CV. Our process is designed to get a true sense of how someone thinks, works, and fits into our team. Here’s what to expect:

• Introductory Chat (15 minutes): A casual call to get a feel for your personality, approach, and how you see yourself contributing to a growing business. Cultural fit is really important to us, especially as a small and collaborative team.
• Practical Assessment: We’ll give you a task to complete that’s similar to what you’d do in the role. This gives you a chance to showcase your skills in action and talk us through your thinking.
• Structured Interview: A deeper dive into your experience, values, and any areas not yet covered—giving you and us a chance to explore how you’d fit and thrive at Powdr.
