  • Translate business requirements into functional and technical solution designs, including process flows, data models, configuration decisions, integration considerations, reporting needs, and documentation.
  • Design scalable service operations solutions using Certinia PSA and Salesforce, leveraging standard platform capabilities wherever possible and identifying when customisation or integration is required.
  • Partner with technical teams to support integrations between Certinia PSA, Salesforce, ERP, finance, billing, data warehouse, and reporting platforms.
  • Own project budgets, profitability, schedules, risks, issues, quality standards, and delivery governance while maintaining strong client relationships.
  • Lead and mentor teams of consultants, analysts, and technical resources, providing guidance on solution design, delivery methodology, stakeholder communication, and Certinia PSA best practices.
  • Support testing activities, including test strategy, user acceptance testing, defect triage, deployment readiness, and cutover planning.
  • Develop and maintain clear project deliverables such as requirements documentation, solution design materials, configuration workbooks, decision logs, training materials, and knowledge transfer assets.
  • Support pre-sales activities by contributing subject matter expertise, solution recommendations, scoping input, proposal content, estimates, and client demonstrations.
  • Identify opportunities to expand client value through process improvement, platform optimisation, reporting enhancements, automation, and ongoing advisory services.

Requirements

  • Significant experience delivering Certinia PSA, Salesforce Professional Services, or related enterprise service operations solutions in a consulting, implementation, or internal transformation environment.
  • Strong understanding of professional services business processes, including resource planning, project management, time and expense, utilisation, forecasting, backlog, billing, revenue recognition, and project profitability.
  • Experience in a Solution Architect, Delivery Manager, Lead Consultant, Senior Consultant, or similar client-facing role with responsibility for solution design and delivery outcomes.
  • Hands-on knowledge of Salesforce configuration, automation, security, data model design, reporting, dashboards, and platform governance.
  • Ability to gather complex requirements, facilitate executive and operational stakeholder discussions, and convert business needs into practical, scalable system solutions.
  • Experience working with Agile, hybrid, or phased delivery methodologies, including sprint planning, backlog management, design reviews, testing, deployment, and adoption planning.
  • Strong consulting presence, communication skills, analytical thinking, documentation discipline, problem-solving ability, and confidence working with both business and technical audiences.
