📍 Kettering (Hybrid - 3 days WFH)
 💰 £35,000 - £45,000 DOE
 🕒 Monday to Friday, 9:00am - 5:00pm

We are working with a well-established, family-run software business operating within a specialist public sector niche, providing systems that support local authorities and bereavement service providers in managing crematorium, cemetery, funeral, and bereavement services.

The business is entering an exciting period of transformation, redeveloping its core platform from a legacy system to a modern cloud-based solution ahead of a planned launch later this year. As part of this growth, they are looking to appoint a Customer Onboarding Specialist to support customer implementation, training, and successful rollout of the new platform.

This role sits within the bereavement services software sector, working closely with organisations responsible for sensitive and essential public services. Experience within bereavement services, crematorium management, cemetery administration, funeral services, or related software environments would be highly advantageous.

This is a hands-on, customer-facing role focused on onboarding, implementation, and training. You'll ensure customers are successfully set up, trained, and supported as they transition onto the new software platform.

Working closely with an experienced onboarding and IT team, you'll support live implementations and migrations, with genuine progression opportunities into Customer Success or leadership roles as the business continues to scale.

The role would suit someone who enjoys structure, process improvement, and guiding customers through change, particularly within traditional or public sector environments.

This opportunity will suit someone who enjoys customer-focused software roles where communication, organisation, and process are key. You'll likely enjoy simplifying systems for end users, managing onboarding journeys, and seeing projects through from start to finish.

It will also appeal to someone looking for progression into a future Customer Success or leadership role within a business investing heavily in its product and customer growth.

Candidates who understand the operational nature of bereavement services, or who have supported software users within local authorities or funeral-related environments, are likely to adapt particularly well.
