About the role

Light seeks a Partner Enablement Manager to train, certify, and support partner implementation teams to scale Light deployments. The role focuses on enabling partners to deliver multiple Light implementations through others, acting as the product expert and liaison between Light and partner teams and their clients’ finance leaders.

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

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)
  • Fluency in accounting and ability to engage with senior finance leaders on multi-entity consolidation, intercompany eliminations, accrual accounting, statutory vs management reporting
  • Ability to teach and explain complex concepts to diverse audiences (partners, client CFOs)
  • Structured approach to programmes: clear plans, prioritisation, and focus on what matters
  • Strong relationship-building with partner leadership and client finance teams; clear communication and consistent delivery
  • Comfort working cross-functionally and with external partners to enable delivery
  • Ability to diagnose implementation issues quickly and deliver practical solutions balancing autonomy, customer needs, and feasibility
  • Hands-on experience in real implementations across vendor/consulting/customer sides; go-live ownership is a strong plus
  • Experience with AI tools and opinion on their role in delivery and enablement
  • Fluent English; additional European languages a plus (German especially)
  • Bonus: go-live as accountable lead; multi-jurisdiction experience (IFRS, US GAAP, local GAAPs); experience building training/certification programmes; learning from past go-live losses
