THE JOB:

This is essentially a classic Business Analyst role: Taking down client requirements and converting them to technical specifications for the software development staff. We need someone to listen to the client and accurately document their needs. You will also be deputising for the existing Director of Client Services in her absence, so this is an "in at the deep end" situation, requiring someone who could handle that position with autonomy, as opposed to requiring mentoring in such a situation.


THE OPPORTUNITY:

The opportunity here is deemed by the Senior VP and General Manager as "limitless". Due to growth, this is a brand new position and the first position of its kind within the company. They are looking for someone they can groom for management and in the longer term become a future Director of Client Services and manage multiple areas of the firm. Deputising for the existing Director of Client Services in her absence will very much fast-track you to that stage.
