Job Description
You know that feeling when someone says, “It’s a sales role,” and you start picturing cold calls, pointless KPIs, and fake cheer? Yeah, this isn’t that.
We’re looking for a Senior Solution Consultant who can turn great conversations into great outcomes … no chasing, no spreadsheets of strangers. Our marketing team is killing it, which means the leads are warm, real, and ready to talk. You’ll help them figure out what they actually need (not just what’s shiny) and turn that into elegant, workable IT solutions.
You’ll spend your days talking to business leaders in the 50–200 seat range, shaping clever, no-nonsense solutions that make tech a genuine advantage, and not another headache. You’ll also mentor a few of the next-gen consultants coming through, because you remember what it’s like being new and curious.

- Write proposals that make sense to *actual humans*.
- Coach junior consultants and help them level up.
- Keep your CRM tidy because your future self deserves nice things.
