About the Role

Bonjour, Pennylane is a fast-growing accounting and financial software publisher, already adopted by over 7,000 accounting firms and 1,300,000 VSEs/SMEs in France (more info here: http://bit.ly/3TvDJuj ).

What we offer: an innovative tool designed to support the accounting profession in its digital transition. We are looking for Trainer profiles with solid accounting experience to support our partner firms in getting to grips with our tool. As a freelance training consultant, your main objective will be to offer the best possible training module to new firms, so that they can derive the greatest added value from our tool in the shortest possible time. The area to cover is Montpellier. You are available a minimum of 3 days per week for this mission.

Job Responsibilities

What will your daily tasks be?

The first 2 months:

• You join your team and spend time with a mentor (accredited training consultant) and the training manager to familiarize yourself with this new environment.
• You watch replays of experienced trainers from the team (shadowing) to discover the training sessions.
• You train on the product through e-learning training modules and workshops that will allow you to validate your onboarding.

3 to 4 months:

• You gain autonomy and take full control. Your daily work is then divided into 3 parts:

Before the training sessions:

• You gather, identify, and analyze training needs.
• You work in close collaboration with the educational coordinator.

During the training sessions:

• You lead a group (5 to 25 people) by transmitting your knowledge of the platform to enable new users to acquire and update their skills.
• You understand the learners' requests and know how to rephrase their needs.
• You demonstrate adaptability and pedagogical skills.

After the training sessions:

• You offer users a questionnaire to collect their feedback (Qualiopi certification).
• You evaluate the trainees (and therefore the success rate of your module).
• You transmit all the necessary information to the educational coordinator, so that they can take over and follow the client in the long term.

After 6 months:

• You are involved in training increasingly strategic clients.
• You master other, more strategic training courses and develop your training catalog.
