Junior Data Specialist
"Everyone on the team was super welcoming and I feel like we are friends despite having worked remotely most of the time due to the pandemic. I really enjoy helping clients solve the unusual requests that require out of the box thinking and finding the best solutions for the clients use cases. It's also very rewarding when we can make a mass change in minutes that would take hours to do manually. The Clients are always so thankful!" Phil, Data Integration Specialist, Calgary
In this exciting and dynamic role, you will scope and complete projects to implement Absorb products, and provide technical and best-practice consultation services to both Absorb clients and various internal teams. Using your technical and customer support skills, you will help our new clients get started with Absorb by ensuring their data is seamlessly moved over to our product, providing training, and providing technical and best practice advice to set up new integrations and configure our Learning Management System (LMS).
You will help existing clients solve business problems by carrying out one-time imports and exports and assisting with the resolution of data issues. You will act as a liaison between client-facing and development teams for larger and more custom projects, helping to ensure the developers can work on application coding. Lastly, you will assist our Implementations team by taking on end-to-end client implementation projects, providing training and guidance on the core Absorb LMS product to new clients.
