“PBS is the fastest growing Dealership Software – All Inclusive Business Platform vendor in North America and we’ve only just begun!”

The Opportunity

At PBS, we’re transforming how people buy and service vehicles—one dealership at a time. With almost 40 years in the industry, we’re the third-largest Dealership Management System (DMS) provider in North America. Each month, hundreds of new users join our platform, and we’re growing fast.

We treat our customers as partners and friends, offering a powerful, all-in-one software suite that supports every aspect of dealership operations—from sales and service to inventory and accounting.

We’re always looking for talented people. While this posting outlines a specific role, we value flexibility and growth—your path at PBS can evolve with your skills and interests.

The Role

As a Bilingual Automotive Software Accounting Trainer, you will deliver training and support to new and existing customers on our Dealer Management Software (DMS). You’ll lead virtual sessions via phone and online platforms as well as providing onsite training during new client software installations. Your role is key to ensuring a smooth and successful onboarding experience.

This is a remote position based in the Ottawa/Gatineau area, with regular travel to customer sites across Canada, the U.S., and the Caribbean. The role primarily supports our clients in Quebec. Approximately 50% of your time will be spent working from home, while the other 50% will involve onsite visits to dealerships as part of the software installation and training team.

• Develop proficiency and stay up to date with PBS Software Expertise

• Promptly respond to both internal and external training requests
• Share knowledge within your own silo and with others across the DTO (Dealership Training Optimization) team
• Commitment to continued education and cross-training activities
• Ensure consistent monitoring of the client calls queue
