At Zellis, we have big ambitions and our Services division is at the heart of them. A key part of this ambition is the growth of its Data, Analytics and Automation Consulting practice, which has created an exciting opportunity for a dedicated and ambitious consultant who is passionate about developing solutions for customers.

You’ll be a key member of the wider team delivering customer-funded consultancy and projects focused on system integrations and automation for Payroll and HR solutions.

Your role will focus on working with clients to design and implement API integrations between the Zellis Intelligence Platform (MS Azure) and other customer systems and processes, as well as design, develop, and support Power Automate flows. You will be a subject matter expert in these areas, leading both design and delivery workstreams. You will have significant experience of building solutions using MS Power Platform and Power Automate.

As a Senior Consultant, you will lead client deliveries, partnering with customers throughout the full project lifecycle—from initial discovery sessions, scoping workshops, writing specifications, development, to user acceptance testing and handover. You will be a passionate advocate for Data, Automation, and Analytics, and will support Sales, Commercial, and Customer Success Managers in pre-sales discussions to promote the practice\’s capabilities.

Key success measures include delivering quality work on time and within budget, receiving excellent customer NPS feedback, and achieving chargeability targets. You’ll be a strong communicator, able to engage audiences up to C-suite level, using your industry experience to advise, consult, and deliver solutions that add value to the customer.

You will be passionate about learning and stay up-to-date on relevant skills, tools, and industry practices to continuously develop your team and effectively engage stakeholders internally and externally.
