POSITION DESCRIPTION 

We’re looking for someone to join our Customer Service team who is motivated to help customers get the best out of their IBIS system and iron out any day-to-day issues they might be having, particularly with the accounting aspect of our system.

As well as helping existing customers, you’ll be involved with setting up new IBIS systems, training customers how to use them and maintaining ongoing relationships.  You’ll be the key contact for implementing and training on the interface between IBIS and the customer’s finance system

You’ll love this role if you get your kicks by helping others. We’re looking for someone who loves solving problems and creating long term customer relationships.
