Role summary

The Business Consultant bridges the gap between business needs and technology, collaborating with clients to analyse business requirements, identify technology opportunities, and define, develop and onboard solutions that drive efficiency and growth.


KEY ACCOUNTABILITIES / ROLE PURPOSE

Ultima’s Business Consulting (BC) team diligently aligns with our customers’ overarching business objectives, navigating their unique challenges and aspirations. Through a deep understanding of these dynamics, we craft tailored IT strategies, fortify technology roadmaps, and sculpt optimized operational structures and processes. The essence of our Business Consultant role is to bridge the gap between business visions and the multifaceted technology landscape. Our consultants, equipped with extensive technical breadth, provide strategic oversight to complex technology initiatives, ensuring alignment with high-level deliverables even when technical experts and architects may be enmeshed in complexities.


Our BC team stands as a beacon of guidance, gaining the trust and collaboration of both organizational sponsors and technical teams through robust reasoning, expansive technical acumen, and an unwavering commitment to continued learning. This role resonates with professionals who, stemming from a solid technical foundation, now gravitate towards harnessing technology for tangible business outcomes. The position demands a vast technical knowledge spectrum complemented by the depth to enhance what traditional solution architects bring to the table.


Beyond technical prowess, our consultants are distinguished communicators, adept at forging impactful relationships, articulating insights both verbally and in documentation, and commanding influential discussions. Their credibility stems not merely from their designation but from their insightful reasoning and experiential wisdom. They navigate challenging conversations, offering constructive critiques to C-suite strategies, and guiding technical teams in prioritizing essential features to meet business objectives. Embracing diversity, our consultants thrive across varied industries, fostering cross-industry innovation and staying abreast of contemporary IT trends.
