You will serve as the link between clients, advisory consultants and our global engineering and support teams, translating client needs into practical solutions and keeping delivery aligned to scope, budget, quality and agreed outcomes. You will also advise clients on implementation best practices, provide training and support, and use AI-enabled ways of working to improve documentation, analysis, testing and routine delivery tasks.

• Configure solutions to meet agreed requirements, partnering with engineers and Software Consultants to stay within product standards.
• Develop and execute test plans, using AI-generated test cases and automated regression testing where available.
• Investigate issues, determine root causes and assess the impact of changes or new functionality.
• Identify opportunities to simplify delivery, automate manual steps and share repeatable practices across the team.

Survey, Data and Reporting Delivery

• Deliver Engage survey implementations, including online setup, administration, data validation and report production.
• Clarify reporting needs, manage client and vendor data files, and use SQL and AI-assisted querying to analyze and validate data.
• Use automation and AI-enabled workflows to improve efficiency, consistency and quality across survey delivery.

Client Consulting and Adoption

• Act as a trusted day-to-day client contact, providing clear updates, managing expectations and maintaining a strong client experience.
• Advise clients on implementation choices and best practices, balancing their goals with product standards, delivery considerations and long-term sustainability.
• Provide ongoing guidance and support, including for clients with license accounts, and connect them with the right specialists when needed.
• Deliver client training in partnership with Software Consultants and support effective adoption of the implemented solution.
