Context

Our Solution Consulting department is responsible for supporting our sales teams in the pre‑sales phases, by providing their expertise in our SaaS platform and functional purchasing processes (S2C, P2P).

Role

We are on the search for a Senior Pre‑Sales Solutions Consultant with a focus to join our team who brings a dynamic approach to our fast‑paced technology environment to help customers solve complex business problems. Our Solution Consultants are analytical and product focused, they are excited at the concept of making a difference in the procurement space, creative and collaborative, and thrive on building and bringing value to new customer relationships.

This Sr Solution Consultant would support our AEs in the UK and the Nordics report to our SC Manager in Sweden.

What You Will Do With Us

• Collaborating with Account Executives on qualified opportunities to uncover customer business objectives, pain points and project requirements
• Create winning strategic sales strategies and presentations for prospects using best practices and industry expertise
• Presenting the value of the Ivalua Platform with highly sophisticated and engaging demos
• Providing functional responses to RFPs and RFIs and supporting all functional/technical activities required from initial bid response through the entire sales cycle
• Recommending and supporting different selling strategies and pre‑sales activities including Conference Room Pilots (CRPs) and Proof of Concepts (POCs) to support advanced prospect requirements

YOUR PROFILE

If you have the experience and strengths below this role could be for you:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Business, Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience in a customer‑facing role, ideally in enterprise software, consulting, or maybe you are a procurement professional today with great interest in procurement software.
• Curiosity about procurement and business processes. You enjoy understanding how organisations operate, the challenges procurement teams face, and how technology can help them work smarter and create more value.
• Strong consultative and discovery skills. You are naturally curious, ask insightful questions, listen carefully, and can lead a conversation that uncovers a prospect’s real business challenges rather than simply presenting a product.
• A confident and engaging presenter. You enjoy presenting to customers, from small working sessions to large executive audiences, and can turn complex concepts into a clear and compelling story.
• Strong interest in AI, particularly in how AI can transform procurement processes across Source to Pay, decision‑making, and the way procurement organisations operate.
• A continuous learner. You stay curious about new technologies, procurement trends, Ivalua’s product roadmap, and the competitive landscape, and you actively look for ways to translate these developments into customer value.
• Commercially minded and collaborative. You can connect customer challenges to business value, work effectively with Account Executives and other teams, and take ownership of helping opportunities move forward.
• Excellent English communication skills, both written and verbal. Fluency in one or more Nordic languages (Swedish, Danish, Norwegian or Finnish) is a plus, but not a requirement.
• What will make you successful: You are curious and commercially driven, and a strong team player who enjoys sharing knowledge, supporting colleagues, and working together to achieve the best outcomes for our customers.
