Job Description Presales Solutions Consultant
Role: Presales Solutions Consultant
Experience: 12 15 Years
Employment Type: Full-Time
About the Role
We are looking for an experienced Presales Solutions Consultant who can independently own the presales cycle end-to-end - from requirement discovery to solution planning, technical proposal ownership, and bid closure support. This role brings a consulting lens to client engagements - landscape assessment, maturity benchmarking, and gap analysis - not just solution response. The ideal candidate balances business consulting capability with enough technical grounding to engage confidently with Solution Architects and technical stakeholders.
Key Responsibilities Enterprise Solution Consulting
- Lead discovery workshops with CXOs, business stakeholders, and technical teams
- Analyze business challenges and translate them into scalable, solution-based recommendations
- Design end-to-end solution approaches aligned with customer business objectives
- Recommend best practices, implementation approaches, and solution roadmaps
- Conduct maturity assessments and benchmark client's current landscape against industry best practices
Requirements Ownership
- Own client requirement capture - functional & non-functional - from RFP, discovery calls, and briefs
- Convert ambiguous asks into structured, traceable requirements; close gaps before Solution Architecture handoff
- Bring domain grounding - working knowledge of at least one domain (BFSI, Manufacturing, Real Estate, etc.) - with process-oriented articulation
Project Planning & Resource Loading
- Decide delivery model (Services vs Milestone) and engagement type (Ops vs Development)
- Own effort estimation, skill-wise team mix, project plan, assumptions, dependencies, and client responsibilities
- Align resourcing with BD/Account on commercial constraints
Technical Proposal Ownership
- Assess Go/No-Go for opportunities; raise structured client/BA queries and manage Q&A;
- Synthesize SME/technical inputs into a coherent proposal narrative - solution story, differentiators, value prop
- Own final proposal accuracy, consistency, and pricing alignment; own the bid cycle through to commercial sign-off
- Maintain awareness of competing solutions/vendors and position proposal narrative against them
- Incorporate AI/GenAI-relevant solution angles into proposals where applicable, in coordination with SMEs
Customer Engagement
- Act as a trusted solution advisor during customer meetings, engaging up to CXO/VP-level stakeholders
- Address functional and technical queries throughout the presales lifecycle
- Support Sales/Account teams during negotiations and deal discussions
Cross-Functional Collaboration & Knowledge Management
- Collaborate with Practice SMEs, PM, and BD/Account through the deal lifecycle
- Own and maintain a library of reusable proposal templates, past win content, and solution collateral for the practice
- Mentor junior presales resources as the practice scales
- Track deal pipeline status and report win/loss outcomes to leadership periodically
Required Skills & Qualifications Mandatory Skills
- 12 15 years of experience in Presales, Solution Consulting, or Business Analysis, with 3 4 years relevant hands-on experience per specialization area above
- Requirements: Has personally run client requirement workshops and discovery sessions
- Planning (PM): Prior experience as a PM/Project Lead handling complex estimation, project planning, and resource loading directly - not delegated
- Proposal: Able to hold technical conversations with Solution Architects and understand technical elements of a proposal well enough to question/validate them
- Solid stakeholder management, engaging up to CXO/VP-level client stakeholders
- Excellent written, verbal, and presentation communication skills
Technical Knowledge

- Experience working with global customers
- Ability to balance business consulting with technical solutioning
- Prior software development experience is a plus, not mandatory
