Problem solving with university technical and data contacts to find the most appropriate data integration solutions for their situation.
Ensuring that a solid, achievable project plan is in place, and then adhered to, by both the university and Enlitened teams.
Motivating, engaging and influencing multiple stakeholders within our university clients.
Responding to technical queries from clients
Working closely with the Product and Technical teams to ensure the process for technical integration evolves and gets continually faster, more powerful, and more friction-free.

On a typical day you might be:

Administering system settings for institutions to provide clients with, for example, API keys and establishing their configuration on the Enlitened system.
Organising or leading videoconferences with CTOs, data analysts, business analysts or engineers to understand the client needs or data infrastructure better; or to explain the Enlitened data integration approaches.
Visiting our university clients to do similar.
Creating a project plan for individual clients to work to, or following-up to ensure that plan is being stuck to.
Liaising with technical colleagues internally, or with our clients, to understand what progress is being made, or blockers are in the way of successful progress.
Liaising with your client success colleagues to problem solve where plans are off-track

The individual:

You will be a smart, self-starting, highly motivated and positive individual who is comfortable in a fast-moving technical environment.

You will be able to travel within the UK, spending time at University campuses as well as at the Enlitened office in Brighton.

You will be passionate and driven, unafraid to try new things and learn fast. You will enjoy working in teams and know that we can only be our best if we all support and challenge each other in equal measures.

You will love questioning the status quo and be excited by the opportunity to quickly move mountains and help students globally. You will also need the following:
