Description
RETIRE THE ERP
Light exists to replace factory-era ERPs with software that feels alive. Our Smart Financial Platform gives modern, global companies superpowers - automated accounting, real-time reporting, and financial flows that move at the speed of the business.
We build with our customers, ship fast, and obsess over craft. In a short time, Light has gone from idea to the operating core for leading companies like Lovable, Legora, and Fuse Energy.
We're an early team defining a new software category. Think engineers who love debits and credits, designers who care about reconciliation states, and operators who treat finance as a product. If you're excited to modernise how companies run money, you're in the right place.
Backed by world-class investors including Balderton and Atomico and advised by industry titans, we're building category-defining products with the freedom to ship ambitiously and own outcomes. Come help us make Light the global default for next-gen finance.
ABOUT THE ROLE
Light doesn't implement Light alone anymore. Accounting and consulting firms, from regional champions to global names, are building Light implementation practices, and someone has to make their people as good at implementing Light as we are. That's you.
You'll be the product expert at the centre of Light's partner programme. You train partner teams, certify them, sit beside them on their first client deliveries, and stay their expert lifeline as they scale. Your audience is partner implementation teams and the leaders who run them, plus their clients' Financial Controllers, Finance Directors, and CFOs on joint deliveries. Senior, technical, time-poor. They expect you to keep up on multi-entity accounting, consolidation, intercompany, multi-currency, and statutory reporting, and to tell them straight when an approach won't work.
No two partners look the same. Every activation brings questions without a textbook answer: a consolidation edge case on a partner's client, a migration shape the playbook doesn't cover, a delivery habit that needs rebuilding before it can be certified. You'll work the problem, teach the answer, capture it in the curriculum, and move on to the next one. The difference from pure delivery work: you don't ship one implementation, you make many happen through others.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Be the product expert: know every corner of Light, demo any workflow credibly, and answer the hard configuration and accounting questions partners bring you. Partners implement Light well because you made them able to
- Own partner activation end to end, from first product deep-dive to Light-certified status and beyond
- Deliver the training curriculum: product deep-dives, implementation methodology, data migration, and live day-in-the-life sessions
- Run shadow and reverse-shadow cycles on real work, grade readiness honestly, and gate certification on it
- Sit alongside partners on their first client deliveries and hold the quality to Light's bar
- Coach partners on translating finance requirements into platform design: chart of accounts, entity structure, consolidation logic, reporting
- Spot partner deliveries going off-track before the client does, and intervene
- Push back on partner shortcuts that won't work, and bring them with you
- Build the enablement library as you go: curriculum, playbooks, templates, and recordings, so every question you answer once becomes reusable material
- Feed what partners surface back into the product and the programme
EXPERIENCE & QUALIFICATIONS
- Degree in finance, accounting, business, or a related field
- 5+ years in finance transformation, ERP implementation, or finance advisory: Big 4, a finance-focused boutique, or a vendor-side professional services team (NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Workday Financials). Time spent training, enabling, or leading other consultants is a strong signal
- You are fluent in accounting and can hold your own with a Controlle
