Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # API Consultant - **Company:** Statista-Ltd. - **Location:** Greater London, UK - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), Application Integration Architecture, User Authentication, Data Integration, Data Systems, Programming Tools, JSON, OAuth, Data Analytics, Restful APIs, Data Pipelines, Api Management - **Published:** August 30, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.collegerecruiter.com/job/2815461951-api-consultant ## About the Role * A Genuine Love of Pitching: Presenting energizes you rather than drains you - you've delivered demos or pitches before and seek out more. (If this doesn't describe you, this role won't be a good fit - and that's okay.) * Builder & Storyteller: You prototype agents, workflows, and prompts yourself, hands-on, and know how to turn technical capability into a business value narrative with maximum "wow." * API & Integration Experience: Background with API solutions, data integrations, or developer tools - comfortable with REST APIs, JSON, and authentication methods (OAuth, API keys). * Customer-Facing Technical Experience: Prior role as Sales Engineer, Solutions Engineer, Developer Advocate, Technical Consultant, or pre-sales-oriented CS, with proven success winning over customers. * Analytical & Communicative: Comfortable using product data and health scores to drive decisions, and able to explain technical concepts in a simple, engaging way to technical and non-technical stakeholders alike. * Problem-Solver: Quick to identify and resolve adoption blockers and guide customers through technical challenges. * Bonus: Pre-sales or solution-selling experience, data pipelines, research background, B2B data solutions, or PLG environment experience. ## Description As an API Consultant, you will be responsible for ensuring customers achieve rapid and sustained success with our API and MCP solution - and just as importantly, for making them excited about it. You will be the face of Statista Connect in front of customers: pitching the solution, building and demoing custom agents live, and turning technical capability into a compelling story that wins hearts and budgets. You'll guide customers from initial setup to advanced use cases, drive adoption by crafting tailored prompts and agents, and help them seamlessly integrate our API solution into their workflows. This is a hybrid role where technical expertise meets showmanship. If you light up when you get to demo something you built and watch a customer's eyes widen - this role is for you. If presenting to customers feels like a chore you'd rather delegate, it is not., * Pitching & Demoing (core of the role): Deliver compelling pitches and live demos of Statista Connect to prospects and customers, from analysts to C-level. Independently build and iterate on demo agents, prompts, and workflows tailored to each customer's use case - and use them to create genuine excitement and "I need this" moments in every meeting. * Customer Adoption & Enablement: Guide customers from initial setup to advanced use cases with tailored prompts, agents, onboarding flows, documentation, and tutorials - carrying the excitement from the pitch through to daily usage. * Data-Driven Engagement: Use product usage data, API analytics, and customer health scores to spot adoption blockers and expansion opportunities, and act on them with proactive guidance, lifecycle outreach, and new pitch angles. * Integration Success: Ensure smooth API integrations, resolve blockers quickly, document best practices, and collaborate with engineering on technical challenges. * Commercial Support: Identify upsell and expansion opportunities and support sales teams with demos and technical storytelling in renewal and growth conversations. * Feedback Loop: Share insights from pitches, demos and usage data with product and engineering to sharpen the pitch, refine demo agents, and shape the roadmap. ## Related Videos - [Lessons learned from observing a billion API requests](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1574-lessons-learned-from-observing-a-billion-api-requests) - [Tips and Tricks for Working with JSON](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1229-tips-and-tricks-for-working-with-json) - [From Messy Queries to Scalable Systems - How Data Engineering actually works](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100203-from-messy-queries-to-scalable-systems-how-data-engineering-actually-works) - [Keeping applications secure by evolving OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100152-keeping-applications-secure-by-evolving-oauth-2-0-and-openid-connect) - [API Design - Getting Started](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/33-api-design-getting-started) - [Why make use of an integration platform in today's software developments and infrastructure?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/758-why-make-use-of-an-integration-platform-in-today-s-software-developments-and-infrastructure) ## Related Articles - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market) - [The 12 Best Jobs for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/401-the-12-best-jobs-for-software-engineers) - [Why Upskilling And Reskilling is Important For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/428-why-upskilling-and-reskilling-is-important-for-developers) - [How to Answer the Interview Question: “Why Do You Want to Be a Software Engineer?”](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/392-how-to-answer-the-interview-question-why-do-you-want-to-be-a-software-engineer) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers)
