Lead Implementation Consultant

About the role,

In this role as a senior implementation consultant, you will'

• Lead complex pre-sales pursuits: run discovery, qualify fit, define solution direction, and present architecture options/tradeoffs with executive credibility.
• Own commercial scoping for strategic deals: define scope boundaries, assumptions, dependencies, risks, and change-control approach; build effort estimates across integration, mapping, testing, cutover, and hypercare.
• Create customer-facing deliverables: solution overviews, integration diagrams, rollout/resourcing plans, risk registers, SOWs/exhibits, and technical RFP/RFI responses.
• Lead end-to-end technical delivery: from discovery through go-live for large-scale, multi-country e-invoicing programs; drive integration approach, data mapping, testing readiness, and cutover planning.
• Drive integration architecture and readiness: recommend ERP-to-cloud connectivity (API/HTTPS/SFTP), define end-to-end data flows (acknowledgements, retries, error handling, monitoring), and align on security (certs, auth, IP allowlists, encryption) across DEV/TEST/PROD.
• Be the escalation and quality bar: troubleshoot high-severity issues, review/validate technical deliverables from project teams, and ensure clean pre-sales-to-delivery handoffs.
• Scale the practice: standardize patterns and delivery standards; mentor consultants; build reusable assets (templates, estimating models, reference architectures, discovery checklists, playbooks).
