This role is critical in the pre-sales phase, scoping projects, and ensuring the successful delivery of solutions. You will work closely with clients to uncover their needs, craft innovative solutions tailored to their challenges, and deliver compelling presentations that showcase the value of the solutions. Additionally, you will play a key part in client relationship management, project success, coaching other consultants, and driving long-term business growth.

• Serve as a knowledge resource within the team, helping to educate colleagues and clients on new technologies and best practices.
7. Coaching and Development of Solutions Consultants:
• Mentor and support junior Solutions Consultants, sharing best practices, providing guidance on complex projects, and helping them develop their technical and client-facing skills.
