* Work directly with clients to understand requirements and deliver tailored solutions.
* Troubleshoot complex technical issues and provide expert guidance.

* Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills.
* Self motivated and comfortable working autonomously in a fully remote environment.
* Commercial mindset with the ability to identify opportunities for continuous improvement.
* Collaborative, proactive and excited by the opportunity to help shape a growing business.

Why This Opportunity?

* Initial 6 to 12 month contract with strong extension potential.
* Fully remote working.
* Join a growing specialist consultancy with an impressive enterprise client base.
* High level of autonomy and genuine influence over the technical direction of the practice.
* Opportunity to grow into a leadership position as the business continues to expand.
* Work with cutting edge technology, including AI enabled solutions, in a highly specialised niche.
