As a member of the Professional Services team, this position plays a key role in the success of customer implementations of the Commercial Loan Origination (CLO) product CLO is a loan origination tool that banks use to track commercial loans throughout the full lending lifecycle.  The Technical Consultant will work with customers to translate business requirements into functional specifications that describe what the system must do to fulfill the business requirements.

• Complete system configuration per specifications.
• Assist and guide the customer in writing test plans and test cases to ensure testing aligns with the requirements presented.
• Guide the customer in implementation best practices and manage customer expectations to ensure their success in the project.

KEY COMPETENCIES:

Open communication and transparency: We are an organization in which we value the ability to communicate and share information in a transparent way in order to be able to fuel meaningful conversations and be efficient at addressing the real issue and finding the best path forward.

Ability to lead and take actions: Given a situation or task, we expect you are fully engaged and take the opportunity to demonstrate our ability to own a topic, bring the right people together, take actions and, in summary, take the lead in bringing this topic to wherever it should be.

Anticipation and Proactivity: Our job is not to be firemen fighting one incident before the next. Our job is to create the conditions for our own success and that requires an ability to anticipate and be proactive, creating the context where the best can happen (ex: effectively managing risks and client expectations) rather than waiting or expecting the worst.

Creativity and Pragmatism: In combination with the previous, creativity is the competency that summarizes for us the need to keep an open mind and think about multiple solutions when facing challenges. Demonstrating pragmatism in this context is having the ability to balance these solutions with an ability to integrate the “how will they be implemented” into their evaluation

Sense of initiative and ability to deliver: We accept mistakes, they are part of the learning curve and a demonstration that you tried something. On the other hand, we cannot accept inaction and the lack of initiative. Finally, as not every initiative can fail and because our business is ultimately to deliver solutions to the client, ability to turn actions and initiatives into actual results is key.  

What you bring:

• End-to-end software implementation experience (preferably at a software vendor).
• Understands the full IT project life cycle from requirements gathering through implementation and go live.
• Industry experience in accounting, finance, or banking preferred.
