You're comfortable challenging assumptions constructively, building customer trust and influencing colleagues who don't report to you. You'll bring: Experience gathering and challenging business requirements, then translating them into clear scope and deliverables. Experience writing Statements of Work, proposals, scoping documents or comparable contractual documentation. Clear, precise writing and a careful eye for assumptions, dependencies and exclusions. Commercial awareness of how scope, effort and risk affect cost, timescales and deliverability. Experience within, or alongside, software sales and implementation or consulting delivery teams. Confidence working with customers and senior stakeholders, including when expectations need to be reset. You don't need existing IRIS product knowledge, but you should be ready to learn a broad software portfolio. Education technology experience is useful, not essential, including school management or student information systems, finance, human resources or payroll software. Experience in pre-sales, bids, software implementation or relevant business analysis and project delivery qualifications would also be welcome. ## Description Ask the questions that matter: challenge unclear requirements and identify gaps, risks and dependencies with Sales and Pre-Sales. Explore customers' objectives, operations, data and constraints through focused discovery conversations. Create clear Statements of Work covering deliverables, milestones, assumptions, responsibilities and exclusions. Balance ambition with practicality, clarifying effort, sequencing and risk before scope is finalised. Give project teams a well-structured handover, so they can start delivery without repeating discovery. Develop knowledge across our education software portfolio and help build reusable scoping templates and guidance., Make your mark on a new capability. You'll have autonomy to shape the approach, broad exposure across the business and the chance to see your work improve the journey from sale to implementation. Alongside leadership support, the Solutions Consultant career pathway offers progression through Consultant, Senior, Lead and Principal levels. If you want to combine customer conversations, commercial judgement and precise documentation with the opportunity to improve how things work, this role brings those strengths together.
