[Hiring] Senior Platform Solutions Consultant @Ellucian

Role Description

As a Senior Platform Solutions Consultant, you’ll serve as a trusted technical advisor to customers as they implement and transition to Ellucian SaaS solutions. Drawing on your software development, integration, and technical implementation experience, you’ll help customers design and execute solutions across APIs, integrations, data flows, and custom technical requirements.

This is an opportunity to apply your hands-on technical expertise in a highly consultative, customer-facing role. Rather than serving primarily as a developer, you’ll use your technical background to understand complex customer environments, recommend solutions, lead technical conversations, and translate challenges into actionable delivery plans.

You’ll work at the intersection of technology, solution design, customer consulting, and implementation delivery, partnering with both customer and Ellucian teams to identify dependencies and risks, drive technical decisions, and keep implementations moving toward successful go-live.

Prior Ellucian or Banner experience is NOT required. We’re looking for experienced technical professionals who bring strong SaaS, cloud, software development, API, and integration expertise and are excited to apply that experience within the higher education technology space.

Qualifications

• Significant software development and technical implementation experience, ideally 5+ years.
• Strong hands-on knowledge of APIs, system integrations, data flows, and modern application development.

• Strong technical problem-solving skills.
• Strong customer-facing communication and consulting skills.
• Demonstrated ability to coordinate across multiple teams and stakeholders.
• A customer-first mindset with interpersonal skills to build credibility and trusted relationships.

Requirements

• Guide technical solution design across APIs, integrations, data flows, and custom solutions.
• Lead technical discovery and conversations with customer and Ellucian teams.
• Translate complex technical challenges into actionable plans.

• Identify and resolve technical risks and roadblocks.
• Help customers maximize their investment in Ellucian solutions.
