Big Data Adoption Services Senior Consultant

Location: United States

Notice

This position is no longer open.

Job Number: 23011

Position Title: Senior Consultant III

External Description:

Our Team

Our Adoption Services team plays one of the most important roles at Informatica: we ensure our customers quickly receive value from their investment, are successful with their implementation, and ultimately renew their subscription.   Renewals are the lifeblood of software as a service companies such as Informatica, and our team is a key component in achieving our company’s mission. We work on highly visible projects with our most strategic customers, including many of the largest and most well-known companies in the world, to solve their digital transformation challenges using our latest technologies.

Our Ideal Candidate

You’re not the ordinary consultant.  Rather than working with only a few customers each year, you enjoy engaging with a new high-profile customer every few weeks.  And rather than implementing just a handful of solutions, you will be rapidly architecting and building dozens of new customer use cases. You’ll keep your technical skills sharp with not only the latest Informatica technologies, but also the other Big Data ecosystem components such as Hadoop, MapReduce, Spark, AWS and Azure.  And most importantly, you have passion and a drive to succeed in guiding customers and stakeholders through all the capabilities of our products and solutions.  Whether it’s a best practice session for a new customer, addressing technical pain points, or enabling a team on our technology, you’re willing to take the time to provide deep explanations and explore creative solutions. You find a collaborative work environment rewarding yet are equally adept at working independently. As an influential and effective teacher, you are eager to share your knowledge and best practices and to develop and sustain an open line of communication with your supervisor and teammates.

Your Opportunity

You will deliver Adoption Services to strategic customer projects, both in-person and remotely while working from home (you can be based anywhere in the U.S.), providing architecture and design, installation, configuration, use case development and solution implementation advice.  As your skills and experience grow, you will be able to grow your career with Informatica, either in expanded and more senior technical roles, or into leadership roles within Adoption Services or other parts of the company.

Your Responsibilities

Big Data Adoption Services Consultants are responsible for providing to our customers expert technical services, training and mentoring on Informatica’s Big Data products, which includes:

  • Managing adoption services for 5-10 accounts simultaneously working with each towards their implementation success
  • Project work including architecture planning, implementation planning, product installation and configuration, use case template development, performance assessments and environment assessments
  • Delivering presales workshops and assessments regarding Big Data uses and potential solution architectures
  • Contributing to knowledge management activities to encapsulate knowledge and provide a foundation for successful Big Data and Hadoop integration project execution through continuous improvement
  • Mentoring less experienced staff to assist with technical and functional product-related questions/issues
  • Providing specialized services (for example, performance-related configuration or other “proof-of-concept” work) for implementation partners or for customers
  • Providing renewal rescue activities that may include customer problem resolution, use case design and development and product feature demonstration and application
  • Assisting customers in both technical implementation and functional implementation efforts to ensure customer success.  Functional implementation may include rollout strategies and planning for end user deployments of products that support enterprise metadata management and self-service analytics in a Hadoop environment
  • Providing expert knowledge transfer sessions on topics such as new features, common use cases and solution design to ensure customers and partners can continue to maintain and drive forward the successful product and project foundation we have initiated with our Big Data Solutions
  • Maintaining the most extensive skill level in Informatica Professional Services on our Big Data Products and related technologies
  • Providing feedback to Informatica R&D teams based on customer use-cases, functional requirements and product enhancement requests

Your Qualifications

Successful candidates will possess technical aptitude, strength in written/verbal communications, ability to create and deliver technical presentations, and strong client management skills to guide successful projects in this highly visible and fast-moving market.

  • Bachelor’s degree
