Technical Implementation Consultant in Manchester

Join a team that helps schools thrive by bringing their systems to life. At iSAMS, we help schools move faster, work smarter, and stay connected - through a powerful cloud-based MIS that’s built specifically for education. As a Technical Consultant, you’ll be right at the heart of that journey.

You’ll be the technical expert who helps schools switch over to iSAMS smoothly and confidently. From setting up new systems to migrating data and solving problems along the way, you’ll make sure every new school gets the very best start with us. This isn’t just a behind-the-scenes role - you’ll be working directly with our customers, guiding them step by step and making their transition to iSAMS feel effortless.

What Will You Be Doing?

• Setting up new iSAMS systems for schools across the UK and internationally
• Migrating and validating school data from older systems using SQL and other tools
• Spotting issues before they become problems - and working closely with clients to fix them
• Configuring things like MS SQL, IIS, SSRS, and web components
• Helping schools understand the process and giving expert advice along the way
• Building strong, trusted relationships with school teams and internal colleagues
• Keeping things organised, communicating clearly, and meeting key project deadlines
• Sharing your knowledge and ideas with the wider team to help us all improve
• Staying hands-on with tech - especially SQL - and continuously building your skills

Who Are We Looking For?

We’re not ticking boxes - we’re looking for people who are curious, capable, and ready to grow. But here’s what will really help you shine in this role:

• Confident working with SQL (you know how to write scripts, query databases, and handle data cleanly)
• Good experience working directly with customers or clients - you know how to listen, explain, and reassure
• Comfortable with Windows Server, IIS, and web-based applications
• Previous experience working with data, databases, or system migrations
• Great attention to detail and a naturally organised way of working
• Clear, friendly communicator - both written and verbal
• A calm, solutions-first approach to challenges
• Positive attitude and a genuine team spirit
• Eagerness to learn, grow, and share what you know
• (Bonus: Experience working in schools, edtech, or with MIS platforms)

Why Apply?

• You’ll help schools make real progress with a system that changes how they work
• You’ll be trusted to take ownership and make a visible difference from day one
• You’ll join a friendly, supportive team that genuinely cares
• You’ll keep learning - with access to new tools, challenges, and development opportunities
• You’ll work remotely, with flexibility to make the role fit your life

What Can You Expect From Our Application Process?

We know applying for a new role can feel daunting - so we’ve kept our process simple, supportive, and designed to help you shine. Here’s what happens once you hit “apply”:

• Apply online - Submit your CV and a few details about yourself. No long forms - just what we need to get started and understand your background.
• Initial Interview (plus Online Assessments) - A friendly chat with our Talent team and two short assessments (CCAT + EPP). The CCAT is a quick 15-minute timed test—best completed somewhere quiet with a pen and paper. The EPP is untimed, giving you space to work through it comfortably.
• Final interview - You’ll meet some of the team you’d be working with and talk more about the day-to-day of the role. We want to get to know you, but just as importantly, we want you to get to know us. This stage gives you a real feel for the culture, the people, and what it’s like to be part of IRIS.

If you're ready to combine your technical skills with meaningful work - and want to be part of a team that’s making a difference in education - we’d love to hear from you. Apply now and help schools switch to smarter systems with confidence.
