The Role: You'll work alongside multidisciplinary teams of strategists, architects, engineers, analysts, designers and consultants, helping enterprise organisations modernise business operations through low-code technology, workflow automation and intelligent digital solutions.

As a Senior Appian Consultant, you'll play a key role in designing and delivering scalable Appian solutions that improve operational efficiency, automate manual processes and enable organisations to respond faster to changing business needs. This is a hands-on consulting role requiring strong technical expertise, client engagement skills and the ability to translate business requirements into robust enterprise applications.

Role Responsibilities:

• You are a hands-on Appian specialist who enjoys solving complex business challenges through modern low-code technology.
• You combine strong technical capability with a consulting mindset and enjoy working closely with clients to understand problems before designing scalable solutions.
• You will lead the design, configuration and development of enterprise Appian applications, ensuring solutions are secure, maintainable and aligned to Appian best practices.
• You'll contribute throughout the delivery lifecycle, from technical design and sprint planning through to testing, deployment and production support.
• Working collaboratively with architects, product managers, business analysts and engineering teams, you'll help shape technical solutions that balance business requirements with implementation practicality.
• You'll be comfortable leading technical discussions with clients, providing guidance on solution design, integration approaches and delivery best practice while mentoring junior developers and helping elevate engineering quality across delivery teams.
• You'll actively contribute to Agile delivery ceremonies, supporting backlog refinement, estimation, sprint demonstrations and continuous improvement initiatives.
• You will also play an important role in maintaining delivery quality through technical reviews, unit testing, deployment management and performance optimisation.
• As technology continues to evolve, you'll remain curious and committed to continuous learning; embracing new Appian capabilities and identifying opportunities to improve delivery through automation, reusable components and emerging AI capabilities.

Must have Qualifications:

• Proven experience delivering enterprise-scale Appian solutions within complex client.
• Strong experience developing Appian applications using Records, Record Types, Relationships, SAIL Interfaces, Process Models, Sites, Reports and CDTs, with the ability to manage a single application through its full lifecycle.
• Strong understanding of relational databases, SQL, data modelling and enterprise data structures.
• Comfortable working day-to-day within blended teams of client staff and third-party vendors, building good working relationships and adapting to the client's tools, processes and team culture.
• Experience designing and implementing integrations using Connected Systems, Web APIs and external services, including REST and SOAP-based integration patterns, exercising sound judgement on when to use built-in objects, expressions, rules and plug-ins versus custom development.
• Experience identifying performance bottlenecks, applying caching strategies, and using the Appian Health Check report and process monitoring tab to maintain production stability within an application.
• Experience implementing Appian's security model and managing Appian deployments, release pipelines, and troubleshooting production issues within a single application or workstream.
• Experience producing technical design documentation, unit testing and delivering high-quality solutions against defined acceptance criteria.
• Strong understanding of Appian development best practices and enterprise application design principles.
• Experience working within Agile Scrum delivery teams, including sprint planning, refinement, estimation and demonstrations.
