• Use consultative questioning to uncover business challenges, stakeholder priorities, desired outcomes, decision criteria, and success measures before recommending solutions.
• Diagnose client environments including HR processes, technology landscape, data flows, and operating models.
• Partner closely with Sales, Account Management, Deployment, and Professional Services to align on solution intent and delivery feasibility from the outset.
• Operate as a strategic partner to sellers, helping shape discovery, solution positioning, customer recommendations, and next-step strategy.
• Translate business problems into clear solution hypotheses aligned to SHL's SaaS capabilities.

End-to-End Solution Design

• Architect end-to-end solutions across SHL's portfolio, including assessment platforms, insights, integrations, and services.
• Translate client needs into practical solution recommendations by balancing assessment science, platform capabilities, delivery feasibility, scalability, commercial considerations, and reuse of proven solution patterns.
• Define solution architecture covering assessment strategy, platform configuration, integrations, data flows, security, and deployment approach.
• Collaborate with Product and Engineering teams to assess roadmap alignment and manage expectations on future capabilities.
• Design and deliver compelling solution walkthroughs, demos, and narratives that resonate with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Proposal Ownership & Commercial Support

• Partner with Business Development Managers and Account Directors to shape commercial proposals, including solution scope, assumptions, pricing inputs, and associations.
• Articulate clear value propositions and ROI narratives tied to measurable talent and operational outcomes.
• Help with RFPs, client presentations, and executive briefings with confident, credible solution positioning.

Deployment Handover & Continuity

• Ensure a clean and structured handover to Deployment and Customer Success teams, including documented solution designs, assumptions, and risks.
• Participate in internal solution reviews and kick-offs to maintain continuity from presales into delivery.
• Act as a point of escalation during early deployment to protect solution integrity and client confidence.

What we are looking for from you:

• Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Industrial / Organizational Psychology, Marketing, Sales, Data Science, or a related field (Master's degree preferred).
• 3-7 years' experience in presales, solution architecture, consulting, workforce strategy, talent management, HR technology, psychometrics, or related domains. Experience supporting enterprise customers and complex solution discussions preferred.

• Strong business and commercial acumen alongside scientific and technical credibility.
• Demonstrated learning agility and the ability to leverage internal subject matter experts, customer examples, prior proposals, reusable assets, and established solution patterns when solving customer problems.
