While the role will focus on Application Support, primarily over the telephone, my client is a relatively small team, and it's everyone's job to make the office and the wider business work effectively. Their Application Support Consultants are people who will 'jump in' to help others, while being focussed on delivering to their clients with the highest levels of professionalism, and adopt a flexible, can-do attitude.

· Patience and the ability to think fast, seek support when it's needed and remain polite and supportive to our clients at all times.

· A desire to learn and grow both in terms of IT and product knowledge, and in terms of our associated Consultancy and Services offerings.

· A confident and convincing approach in front of clients, both in the delivery of training and in due course with the potential to deliver Consultancy Support.

· Close collaboration across our business in order to build and maintain bridges between our sales, development and services operations.

Responsibilities:

· Development and maintenance of an excellent working knowledge of our AWARD® software and associated products.

· Flexibility in working hours in order that our helpdesk and support team are able to cover the full range of support hours, currently from 08:00 to 18:00 - with early or late starts as required.

· Occasional attendance at customer sites to deliver training and/or support as required.

· Development of supporting briefing materials, and involvement in the development of our Consultancy, Expert Assist and Helpdesk offerings.

Overall, I am seeking a candidate who is highly articulate, convincing, calm and willing to learn and deliver a broad range of skills both internally and facing clients. I am seeking a naturally inquisitive character, with a propensity for delivering both complex technical support and demonstrating the value of technical solutions to our clients.

My client operates a team with genuine opportunities to progress both within our IT and Consultancy Services teams, and a proven track-record of training, developing and retaining our world-class workforce.
