Solution Design Consultant
Quick Summary
Bring 10+ years of relevant professional experience and a bachelor’s degree in business, finance, or a related discipline, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
This role is responsible for diagnosing complex renewal challenges and translating those findings into practical, measurable, and commercially sound operating solutions. You will lead end-to-end renewal diagnostics, from data collection and executive interviews through analysis, solution design, business case development, and delivery handoff. The position combines quantitative analysis, financial modeling, customer-facing consulting, and operational design in a highly autonomous environment. You will collaborate closely with Sales, Data, Solutions Architecture, Deal Desk, Finance, and Delivery teams to build solutions that balance automation, human oversight, and business outcomes. A key part of the role is ensuring that recommendations are defensible, financially grounded, and aligned with agreed operating parameters. You will also help validate results during implementation and contribute to improving the broader diagnostic methodology and solution design practice.
- Lead renewal diagnostics from initial executive sponsorship and scoping through data requests, qualitative interviews, systems walkthroughs, maturity assessments, and executive-level presentation of findings.
- Translate diagnostic insights into a target operating model that clearly defines which renewal activities can operate autonomously, which require approval, and which should remain human-led, while establishing an appropriate progression toward greater autonomy.
- Develop comprehensive business cases that compare partnership and parity scenarios across the identified opportunity set, clearly documenting assumptions and modeling capacity, costs, and expected economics throughout the implementation ramp.
- Establish pricing inputs and collaborate with Deal Desk and Finance on commercial structure, margins, and ramp assumptions, while developing clear responsibility frameworks covering AI and human actions, autonomy levels, guardrails, and escalation paths.
- Maintain solution integrity throughout commercial negotiations by connecting the proposed operating design and business case to contract terms and the agreed operating parameters.
- Prepare comprehensive handoff materials for Delivery and Solutions Architecture, including deal review documentation, readiness scorecards, final diagnostic readouts, pricing models, assumptions, risks, and outstanding decisions.
- Reassess the solution against live performance during the ramp period, lead value assessments against agreed baselines, and contribute to improving diagnostic methods, reusable assets, and practice tools.
- Travel occasionally, up to approximately 25%, primarily during diagnostic interview periods, executive readouts, team meetings, training, or company events.
