Retire the ERP

Light exists to replace factory-era ERPs with software that feels alive. Our Smart Financial Platform gives modern, global companies superpowers - automated accounting, real-time reporting, and financial flows that move at the speed of the business.

We build with our customers, ship fast, and obsess over craft. In a short time, Light has gone from idea to the operating core for leading companies like Lovable, Legora, and Fuse Energy.

We're an early team defining a new software category. Think engineers who love debits and credits, designers who care about reconciliation states, and operators who treat finance as a product. If you're excited to modernise how companies run money, you're in the right place.

Backed by world-class investors including Balderton and Atomico and advised by industry titans, we're building category-defining products with the freedom to ship ambitiously and own outcomes. Come help us make Light the global default for next-gen finance.

About the role

Light doesn't implement Light alone anymore. Accounting and consulting firms, from regional champions to global names, are building Light implementation practices. Someone has to make sure those practices deliver to Light's standard on every deal. That's you.

You'll be one of the first Partner Solutions Architects at Light, sitting between our partners, their clients and our own implementation team. Most of your week goes on running a portfolio of partner-led implementations. You know which deals are on track and which are drifting. You know whether each partner has the people and capacity to take on the next one, and you're the person Light goes to for an answer on any partner deal. You also get new partner consultants trained and certified. When a partner hits something new, hard, or beyond their capacity, you step in and do the work yourself.

This is not a training role. We want a consultant with commercial instincts, someone who has delivered finance implementations, can hold their own with a Financial Controller, and can manage a book of delivery the way a good account manager manages a book of revenue. Your audience is partner implementation teams, the leaders who run them, and their clients' Controllers, Finance Directors and CFOs. They're senior, technical and short on time, and they expect you to tell them straight when something won't work.

Key responsibilities

Own partner delivery across your portfolio

Check every deal through Light's delivery gates: did the partner get through it, on time, to the right standard?

Run weekly check-ins with each partner on progress, blockers, risks and upcoming go-lives

Track partner capacity and staffing: who they have, who's certified, what they can take on next, and when

Build and own the partner delivery forecast so Sales can always tell a customer yes, with a start date we can stand behind

Represent Light on partner deals from day one: run kickoffs with the partner and client, and drive data collection until the partner team is ready to take over

Spot deliveries going off track before the client does, and intervene

Report clearly to Light leadership on partner delivery health, capacity and quality, so nobody ever has to ask "who owns this deal?"

Get partner teams trained and certified

Bring new partner consultants through Light's enablement path, from self-paced curriculum and instructor-led sessions through to certification

Schedule the training, track progress and hold the certification bar firm

Teach clearly, whether the room holds a partner associate or a client CFO

Feed what you learn on live deals back into the curriculum, the playbooks and the product

Step in as the expert when partners can't

Take on consulting work directly when a partner meets something new or complex, or runs out of capacity: a consolidation edge case, an unusual migration, a tricky entity structure

Coach partners on turning finance requirements into platform design: chart of accounts, entity structure, consolidation logic, reporting

Know Light well enough to demo any workflow credibly and answer the hard configuration and accounting questions partners bring you
