Software trainer

Description

🌟 Who We Are

We’re Kinetic—and we make the magic happen behind the scenes of student life.
For over 25 years, we’ve been building software that helps universities manage everything from student accommodation and conferencing to major campus events. Our products are trusted by more than 350 institutions across the UK, North America, and beyond, and we’re proud to play a role in how students live, connect, and experience university life.
But here’s the thing—we’re not just here to maintain. We’re here to innovate. We’re growing fast, building smarter tools, and shaking things up in a space that’s hungry for transformation.
We're part of the Volaris Group, under Constellation Software Inc.—which means we’ve got global scale and long-term security, alongside startup-style freedom to try, test, and grow.

At Kinetic, you'll find:
* Real purpose (our software genuinely helps people every day)
* A culture that celebrates learning and experimentation
* Leaders who listen and teammates who’ve got your back
* Hybrid working, flexibility, trust, and space to grow
* And yes—socials, snacks, dual monitors, and proper coffee

🎓 About the Role
We’re looking for a confident, people-focused Software Trainer to join our Customer Experience team. You’ll deliver training that helps our customers get the best from our platform—whether that’s part of a brand-new implementation or helping power our customers to go even further.
This is a role that blends training, consultancy, and customer advocacy. You’ll work across departments, build relationships with customers, and help them realise value at every stage of the journey.

📚 Training & Implementation
* Deliver training that clicks—remotely or on-site, depending on what fits. Travel is a necessity for this role across UK & IRE, and occasionally should the need arise to go overseas too
* Supporting customers’ system setup, datasheet validation, and configuration for new software deployments
* Manage your time and input into capacity planning alongside the team, ensuring you hit department and individual metrics whilst delivering value
📢 Customer Advocacy
* Gather meaningful customer feedback and share it with Product and Delivery teams
* Help influence future product direction by being the voice of the user
* Build strong relationships that lead to real business outcomes
🤝 Facilitation
* Pull together people from across Kinetic to ensure great service
* Spot opportunities, follow up on actions, and make sure our service levels continue to go the extra mile
