Role Overview:

An opportunity has arisen to join our Projects Team as a Temporary Software Configurer, based at Zinc Systems’ head office in Northamptonshire and open to remote workers following training.

Zinc Systems is currently undergoing a large project that is migrating our flagship SaaS product into a new framework ready for the next phase of our expansion.

The successful candidate will work as part of the Projects Team, and will receive full training on processes and procedures to follow to successfully configure the platform.

We’re not actively pursuing anyone with any advanced knowledge of IT. However someone who has experience in using software – either personally, educationally, or through work – is preferable.

  • Can communicate with others to receive instructions and provide updates on progress
  • Is inquisitive in nature, isn’t afraid to ask questions
