What You Will Do

As a Consultant in Solution Design, you will independently manage standard Solution Design opportunities from discovery through solution positioning and demonstration. You will lead structured discovery sessions, translate validated business requirements into a coherent solution approach, and deliver tailored demonstrations that connect product capabilities to customer priorities and expected business outcomes.

• Lead structured discovery sessions for standard opportunities.
• Identify business drivers, process requirements, stakeholders, systems, constraints, and success criteria.

• Contribute reusable assets, templates, playbooks, and lessons learned to the Solution Design knowledge base.

Growth Opportunity: Candidates will have opportunities to deepen their functional Solution Design expertise, strengthen their customer-facing capabilities, and take ownership of increasingly complex standard opportunities. As an Consultant, you will:

• Expand your knowledge across key procurement areas, including Strategic Sourcing, Procure-to-Pay, Contract Lifecycle Management, Supplier Management, Category Management, and Spend Management.
• Strengthen your ability to identify root business challenges, prioritize requirements, and distinguish customer needs from preferences.
• Develop greater expertise in translating business requirements and procurement processes into appropriate solution capabilities.
• Build increasingly relevant, customer-specific demonstration scenarios connected to measurable business outcomes.
• Enhance your facilitation, presentation, storytelling, and client-influence skills.
• Deepen expertise in selected functional Solution Design topics and procurement domains.
• Contribute reusable knowledge, demonstration assets, training content, templates, and process improvements to the wider team.
• Gain exposure to increasingly complex opportunities and cross-functional solution discussions.

What Should You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in business administration, Supply Chain, Engineering, Information Technology, Economics, Finance, or a related field.
• Knowledge in procurement, consulting, business analysis, enterprise software, solution design, presales, or a related customer-facing function.
• Knowledge of procurement processes and enterprise software capabilities, preferably across areas such as Strategic Sourcing, Procure-to-Pay, Contract Lifecycle Management, Supplier Management, Category Management, or Spend Management.

• Strong collaboration and stakeholder-management skills, with the ability to work effectively across Sales, Product, Technical, Integration, and other specialist teams.
• Ability to manage standard opportunities independently, exercise sound judgment, and operate with minimal supervision.
• Strong attention to quality, accuracy, documentation, governance, and traceability.
• Willingness to share knowledge and contribute reusable assets, templates, and process improvements.
• Advanced English proficiency. Spanish is considered an advantage.
