The Job:
You would be joining Shared Works, Novoville’s innovative platform for retrofit projects. Shared Works is at the forefront of the fight to improve our homes and reduce their carbon emissions (20% of the UK total!).
This is a brilliant entry point into the world of client management, product and delivery - ideal if you’re not yet sure which of these you want to specialise in, and would rather try a bit of everything. You’ll get hands-on exposure to client relationships, data, product thinking, and technical problem-solving, working closely with our product and engineering teams. No two days will look the same.
- Location: Scotland, Edinburgh & The Lothians
- Industry: Business, Engineering and Technology, Environment, Conservation and Sustainability
- Job type: Full-time
The Company:
Novoville is a UK multi-award-winning company developing best-in-class technological solutions to tackle local authorities’ most pressing challenges. Shared Works is our flagship initiative, transforming how retrofit and maintenance projects are managed to achieve net-zero goals. Our UK team is growing, and you will work closely with our Customer Success, Business Development, Product, and Engineering colleagues across the UK, and Greece.
The Role:
- Account support: Help manage the day-to-day relationship with a portfolio of clients - combined authorities, housing associations, and contractors. Support onboardings, check-ins, and reviews, and help keep clients informed and unblocked.
- Platform configuration: Learn to set up and configure Shared Works for new clients, tailoring it to their workflows and programme structure.
- Data support: Help with data imports and exports, support clients in keeping their data clean and accurate, and learn to help them get the most from it.
- Technical support: Be an early point of contact for client queries. Learn to diagnose problems, tell the difference between user error, configuration, data, and product issues, and escalate clearly to the engineering team when needed.
- Product input: Help gather feedback from clients and turn it into clear notes for the product team - workflow descriptions, issues, and suggestions. Bring the client’s perspective into internal product discussions.
- Product delivery & testing: Work alongside our product and engineering colleagues to understand requirements, test tickets and new functionality, and help make sure releases work well for clients.
- Training & documentation: Help deliver training sessions for client teams, and keep onboarding guides and materials up to date.
- Commercial exposure: As you build product knowledge and client trust, you’ll get the chance to support demos, proposals, and new business activity - a great way to explore a future commercial path if that interests you.
The Candidate:
Essential qualifications & skills
- Excellent communication skills, written and verbal, with the confidence to build relationships with clients.
- A genuine interest in how software products work - you don’t need to code, but you should be keen to understand product workflows and pick up technical concepts.

- Familiarity with tools like Excel, Google Sheets, or project management tools such as Jira – or a willingness to learn them quickly.
- An interest in local government, housing, sustainability, or the built environment.
- A degree or relevant qualification is welcome but not required - we care more about attitude and potential.
The Package:
- Working for a company that is doing something good for the community, the country, and ultimately, the world.
- A genuine opportunity to try your hand at different parts of the business - client management, product, data, and delivery - and find out what you enjoy most.
