Role Overview

As a Platform Delivery Consultant you will play a critical role in setting up our customers for success. You will own a portfolio of customers, responsible for both new customers and renewals, leading smaller implementations and supporting Seniors/Leads on larger, more complex implementations.

You will work closely with each customer to ensure we are meeting their needs and they are getting the most out of our platform. This means taking them from requirement refinement and solution design, to technical implementation and testing, finally to go-live.

Responsibilities

• Take ownership of a customer portfolio, predominantly formed of key account renewals or lower complexity schemes.
• Gather and document customer requirements, producing detailed designs that address specific customer needs while adhering to best practices.
• Design technical solutions that help customers to achieve their overall project goals, ensuring feasibility of requirements can be delivered within our technology.
• Configure OneHub to meet customer requirements.
• Guide Customers through Customer Acceptance Testing (CAT) phase, ensuring seamless communication, addressing feedback, and facilitating a successful and satisfactory testing process.
• Self-organise and manage your work schedule throughout the year, ensuring effective future utilisation planning.
• Collaborate effectively with a diverse range of stakeholders, spanning internal teams and external parties, to ensure streamlined communications and successful outcomes.
• Proactively mitigate risks within the project portfolio, working closely with the Manager to solve issues.
• Ensure project collateral and tracking measures are accurate at all times.
• Achieve high quality outcomes for your customers, measured against defects raised, timeliness and NPS.

What are we looking for?

• Technical proficiency: An interest in technology (current role, self-study, education) with ideally the ability to programme in one language (C# / SQL knowledge would be preferred)
• Some exposure or knowledge of Project Management: Managing multiple tasks across multiple stakeholders, managing risks and issues, prioritising workload.
• A logical & critical thinker: the ability to systematically work through problems.
• Detail oriented: quality driven and a meticulous planner.
• Effective communicator: Comfortable communicating complex, often technical, points in ways appropriate to audiences that may vary from non-technical to highly technical, and through various verbal and written methods.
• Ability to skilfully navigate difficult conversations with fairness and empathy.
• Team player.
• Problem solver.
