Your team

The Avaloq Academy is a global team with local teams in Edinburgh, Manila, Pune and Zurich. We develop and deliver technical training to implementation professionals working on the Avaloq Banking System. This includes a core platform, in addition to web, mobile and containerized products. Most courses sit within our certification and accreditation framework and cover customization via Avaloq’s many proprietary customization interfaces as well as external technologies.

Your key tasks

As an instructor who loves to learn challenging new things, you need to break them down into manageable parts and teach them to others using a combination of videos and live training in the Academy training environment.
