At Every, we help schools run more smoothly.
From HR and payroll to finance and staff management, our software supports schools with the systems they rely on every single day. As more schools move to Every, we’re growing our Implementation team and looking for someone who understands customers, enjoys solving problems, and wants to build a career helping schools successfully adopt new technology. This is not a back-office processing role.
It’s a people-focused implementation role where you’ll work directly with schools to guide them through onboarding, training, setup, and rollout of Every’s software solutions. You’ll help customers move away from older systems and processes into modern software that makes everyday work easier.
You’ll become a trusted point of contact for schools throughout their journey - helping users feel confident, supported, and successful from day one.
This role is especially suited to people with experience in areas such as:
Payroll HR systems School administration Education software Payroll bureau services Software support Customer onboarding Training or implementation Customer-facing support roles
We’re particularly interested in people who understand payroll processes and payroll legislation, even if they haven’t worked in software implementation before.
🧾Why This Role Matters
Schools rely on HR and payroll systems to keep everything running properly behind the scenes. When a school moves to a new platform, it’s a major change. There are deadlines, compliance requirements, payroll pressures, and staff who need support adapting to new ways of working. That’s where you come in.
Your role is to make that transition feel smooth, supported, and successful. You’ll help schools understand the system, feel confident using it, and get real value from the software. The experience you deliver directly impacts customer satisfaction, long-term relationships, and how successfully schools adopt Every across their teams.
