Solution Consultant

As our successful Solution Consultant, you enjoy inspiring with a vision and technology, and you’re excited by the opportunity to work with some of the biggest brands and retailers.

You’ll be someone who can easily converse between business and technical teams to ‘translate’ requirements and expectations depending on the audience and industry. You are comfortable discussing the value of our solution and the associated business case at all levels of a client’s organisation and can easily turn ‘complex’ concepts into simple and comprehensive overviews.

Your preference is to work as part of dynamic and experienced teams (Sales & Sol. Consulting) where you can be a top player in your role. You would also enjoy being part of a EMEA wide team that is focused on making a difference in the organisation collaborating with other teams in the organisation.

You’ll be measured on the quality of your work and your effectiveness working with sales. Prospect readiness is key to the overall business and team success. Team engagement and participation is a very important part of your role as well as our business values.
