Description
About Bright Software Group

At Bright, we are powering the digital practice of tomorrow – today.

We believe understanding is the difference between working and winning.

The Opportunity

Bright is migrating customers from BTC Desktop to BrightTax, our cloud-based tax compliance platform. It's a high-priority migration, and the onboarding experience is central to its success.

This is a 12-month fixed-term role on the Customer Success team. You'll be the primary point of contact for customers making the move — guiding them through setup, configuration, training, and early adoption until they're confident and productive on BrightTax.

The role suits someone technically capable, genuinely customer-focused, and comfortable owning outcomes without being micromanaged.

Key Responsibilities
Customer Onboarding

Deliver end-to-end onboarding for customers migrating to BrightTax as part of Bright's cloud migration programme

Conduct onboarding sessions — remotely — covering product setup, data migration, configuration, and initial workflows

Identify and resolve technical or process blockers early, escalating where necessary to internal product and support teams

Ensure each customer reaches a confident, productive state on BrightTax within agreed timescales

Training & Enablement

Deliver live high-level training sessions for customers and their teams when necessary, covering BrightTax functionality relevant to their workflows

Produce or adapt supporting training materials, guides, and resources to aid customer self-sufficiency post-onboarding

Support customers in understanding how BrightTax integrates with the broader Bright product suite, including BrightManager and BrightAP where relevant.

Customer Relationship & Success

Build strong, trust-based relationships with customers during the onboarding period

Proactively monitor customer progress and intervene where adoption is at risk

Gather and feedback customer insight — product issues, friction points, feature gaps — to the Customer Success and product teams

Represent Bright professionally at all times, demonstrating the high standard of service our customers expect

Programme Contribution

Contribute to the continuous improvement of the BrightTax onboarding process, playbooks, and tooling

Collaborate with colleagues across Customer Success, Support, and Product to ensure alignment on migration priorities and customer readiness

Maintain accurate records of onboarding progress, customer status, and outcomes in Bright's Success platform.

What We're Looking For
Essential

2 years plus experience in a customer-facing software role — onboarding, implementation, customer success, or technical support

Technically capable and confident working with SaaS products — you can navigate a new platform quickly and troubleshoot with customers in real time

Highly customer-focused, with a natural ability to build rapport and manage expectations professionally

Self-directed and proactive — you take ownership of your customers' outcomes and do not need to be micromanaged

Strong communicator, both written and verbal, with the ability to explain technical concepts clearly to non-technical users

Comfortable working alongside AI tools; curious about how technology can make you better at your job.

Desirable

Familiarity with accounting, tax compliance, or bookkeeping workflows — either through working at an accountancy firm or supporting accounting software users

Experience working with tax or practice management software

Knowledge of MTD (Making Tax Digital) requirements and their implications for accountancy firms

Experience using customer success platforms (e.g. ChurnZero)

Previous involvement in a software migration or implementation programme
