Working Details 

This is a full-time role (37.5 hours per week). We typically work from 09:00 - 17:30 from Monday to Friday, although flexibility around this will be required on an occasional basis in order to support the training needs of our UK and US teams. 

If you’d like a flexible working arrangement, please just let us know in your application. 

We’re ideally looking for someone in/around Edinburgh, able to work on a hybrid basis between home and our Haymarket office.  

We don't mandate required office days, but we find that most of the team enjoy working from the office 2-3 days a week to connect with their team and other Dayshapers and to make use of space, and for meetings and collaboration. This role will also involve domestic and international travel to customer sites to deliver in-person training.  

Join the team! 

Equality of opportunity is more than just a responsibility: we believe it’s a huge advantage to welcome a variety of experiences and perspectives into the team. Diversity is a great asset and, as such, we strongly encourage applications from any background. 

This is your opportunity to really influence how we get things done, and how we deliver great customer outcomes. We're doing well, but there's lots more to do in order to maintain the high bar and pace that we've set. 

Everyone here is growing personally as the company grows, so if that sounds like something you’d like to be part of, we’d love to see your application. The deadline for applications is 5pm GMT on Monday 6th April.

Please note the successful candidate for this role will be subject to background checks and will have an opportunity to declare anything to us beforehand.
