Partner Solutions Architect
Light, London
The role
Light doesn't implement Light alone anymore. Accounting and consulting firms, from regional champions to global names, are building Light implementation practices. Someone has to make sure those practices deliver to Light's standard on every deal. That's you.
You'll be one of the first Partner Solutions Architects at Light, sitting between our partners, their clients and our own implementation team. Most of your week goes on running a portfolio of partner-led implementations. You know which deals are on track and which are drifting. You know whether each partner has the people and capacity to take on the next one, and you're the person Light goes to for an answer on any partner deal. You also get new partner consultants trained and certified. When a partner hits something new, hard, or beyond their capacity, you step in and do the work yourself.
This is not a training role. We want a consultant with commercial instincts, someone who has delivered finance implementations, can hold their own with a Financial Controller, and can manage a book of delivery the way a good account manager manages a book of revenue. Your audience is partner implementation teams, the leaders who run them, and their clients' Controllers, Finance Directors and CFOs. They're senior, technical and short on time, and they expect you to tell them straight when something won't work.
