Will you travel around the world with Sqills?
Sqills has never made it a secret that we want to be the global market leader in software for public transport operators with our S3 Passenger product. When you work at Sqills, you directly help make this a reality. Because we want to keep growing, we are looking for talented starters with a WO-diploma who have the ambition to make a successful IT company even more successful around the globe.
Are you analytical? Do you have strong problem solving skills? Do you always strive for quality and the best solution for the customer? If so, Sqills offers you a great opportunity.
Sales is a primary process of any public transport company. The complexity of sales is increasing dramatically due to increasing competition and changing consumer expectations. Innovation, revenue management, personalisation and multi-channel, all essential factors to be successful in our business and our market.
The first international customers went into production quite some time ago. The first customer to use S3 Passenger was based in Germany. Ireland followed not long after.
Nowadays S3 Passenger is used by a great many more international transport companies. These include leading carriers such as Eurostar, VIA Rail and SJ Swedish Rail. In countries like France, Italy, Spain, Great Britain and even Canada, customers buy their train and bus tickets through our software. For the position of Business Consultant (Trainee), this means you will be travelling internationally on a regular basis to visit (new) customers.
This traineeship guides you during an intensive 13-month programme to become an independent Business Consultant. Someone who advises customers in the sales and distribution process on the use of S3 Passenger.
Right from the first day you will be part of a team and learn on the job. You will get to know our S3 product and the way we work. There is also a considerable focus on consultancy skills right from the outset of your traineeship. The next step is building domain knowledge (e.g. pricing strategy, revenue management) and applying this knowledge in projects.
You will not only get to know our internal systems, but also those of the customer. This will allow you to start working with all the knowledge you have gained.
Through coaching on the job, you will learn the tricks of the trade from an experienced colleague. We assign you to projects for foreign customers that have a duration of anywhere between 6 and 24 months. You will initially be involved in these projects for a shorter period during your traineeship. You will be involved with our S3 Service desk during part of the traineeship. This is where existing customers can ask questions.
This will provide you with a lot of knowledge about S3 Passenger in a relatively short period of time so that, once you have completed the traineeship, you will have a good foundation. Your work locations are Amersfoort and/or Enschede. Moreover, you will regularly work at customer locations abroad, one of the fun aspects of an international job.
The interesting and challenging part of the traineeship at Sqills is that you are in control. It is your traineeship. We offer you all the different possibilities, but it is up to you which possibilities you use.
Do you have international ambitions? Then we want to hear from you.
