Most projects go wrong before they start. The brief says a new website when the problem is a sales process, or asks for an app when a form would do. The consultant is the person who finds that out first, in discovery, and writes it down so the client and the team agree on what is being built and why.
You will run discovery and scoping for web, software, automation and AI projects, advise clients on what to do and what to leave alone, and stay close enough to the build to notice when it drifts from the plan.
What you will be doing
- Run discovery sessions with clients and map their processes, systems and numbers.
- Write specifications, options papers and plans that a client can approve and a developer can build from.
- Advise on automation and AI where it would pay, and say so plainly where it would not.
- Price and scope work with the managing director and the technical leads.
- Review live projects against the plan and raise drift early.
What you will need
- At least five years of commercial work in this field that you can show us. We promise clients that everyone on their project has that, so it is not negotiable.
- Consulting, analysis or senior delivery work where you wrote the specification and lived with the result.
- Enough technical depth to challenge a developer and enough commercial sense to challenge a client.
- Clear writing. If the client and the developer cannot both read the specification in one sitting, it is too long.
Useful, not required
- Experience in the motor trade, professional services or manufacturing.
- Process automation or CRM projects you led end to end.
