Software Implementation Consultant

Scotland | £40,000 - £45,000 | Permanent

Published: 20.08.26 Ref: BBBH52806_1787238901

Software Implementation Consultant required to join a growing, product-led software business operating within a highly specialised industry. The organisation develops a complex platform used by an international customer base and is continuing to invest in its product and services as it grows.

This is a varied, customer-facing role where you'll work with clients throughout the implementation journey - understanding how their business operates, translating those requirements into practical solutions, working with their data, and helping them successfully adopt the platform.

The Company

This is a well-established software business operating within a specialist market where its technology plays an important role in supporting complex customer operations.

The organisation is part of a wider international software group, giving it the backing and stability of a larger organisation while retaining the agility and close-knit feel of a specialist product business.

The company has a strong focus on customer relationships and continued product development, with a collaborative culture where people are encouraged to take ownership, share ideas and develop their expertise. You'll be joining a relatively small and experienced group where your work is visible and you'll have the opportunity to contribute across both customer delivery and the wider product.

The Role

You'll be responsible for helping customers get from buying the software to successfully using it within their business.

That means getting underneath how a customer currently works, understanding what they need the system to achieve and helping shape the best way of implementing it. You'll spend time with customers running workshops and gathering requirements, but you'll also get into the detail - looking at their data, identifying problems, configuring the system and helping resolve issues along the way.

You'll work across several implementations, so there is plenty of variety. One week you might be working remotely with a customer on requirements and data, while another could involve spending several days onsite helping deliver a key stage of an implementation.

You'll also work closely with the internal product and development teams, bringing customer insight back into the business and helping ensure the platform continues to develop in line with what customers need.

Key Responsibilities

** Own software implementations through discovery, solution design, configuration and customer go-live

** Work with customers to understand their processes and translate business challenges into effective software solutions

** Lead workshops and discussions with stakeholders, helping customers challenge existing ways of working where there is an opportunity to improve

** Work with customer data as part of implementation projects, identifying issues and ensuring information is suitable for migration

** Manage several customer projects and priorities at the same time, keeping delivery organised and maintaining clear communication throughout

** Provide product guidance and training, helping customers understand how to get the most from the platform

** Feed customer requirements and insights back into the product and development teams to support ongoing improvements

About You

** Experience delivering software implementations, ideally involving complex business processes or enterprise applications

** Comfortable working directly with customers and confident communicating with both technical and non-technical stakeholders

** Naturally analytical, with an ability to understand how businesses operate and work through problems logically

** Technically curious and comfortable working with systems, data and different technologies

** Well organised and capable of managing multiple projects without losing sight of detail or deadlines

** Commercially minded and confident enough to offer advice, challenge customers and recommend a better approach when appropriate

** A proactive personality with the confidence to learn a specialist product and become a trusted source of knowledge for customers

Experience with data migration, ERP or other operational software would be beneficial, alongside exposure to working with large datasets and tools such as SQL or Excel.

You'll need a driving licence and be comfortable with travel as part of the role. The amount of travel will vary depending on projects, rather than being a fixed weekly requirement.

Why Join?

** Work on genuinely varied implementation projects rather than delivering the same solution repeatedly

** Develop a broad skill set across software, data, consulting and project delivery

** Build relationships with an interesting international customer base and become a trusted advisor throughout their projects

** Join a close-knit, remote-first team where you'll have genuine ownership and visibility

** Work alongside experienced product and development teams and have an influence on how the platform evolves

** Be part of a wider international software group, offering stability and longer-term career opportunities

What's on Offer

This is a remote-first role but candidates will need to be based in Scotland, It's offering a salary of £40,000 - £45,000 + car allowance + bonus alongside a strong benefits package.

Travel to customer sites is expected across the UK and occasionally internationally, although this will vary depending on project requirements. There may be periods with little or no travel, followed by a week onsite with a customer when a project reaches an important stage.

If you're an Implementation Consultant who enjoys working with customers, solving problems and getting into the detail of how software can improve the way a business operates, this is a great opportunity to join a specialist software business where you can have a real impact.

Our clients

Candidates

She was friendly, communicative and informative, talked me through the process and gave me good advice at every stage.

Software Engineer – Manchester

Never have a I met a recruiter like him, who embeds himself in the community so thoroughly in a way that could only be genuine. From our conversations, he has shown an understanding of the industry I would expect from a local CTO.

MI Analyst – Bolton

He stood out in a world of poorly informed, unreliable and frankly annoying recruiters as a breath of fresh air.

Data Scientist – Manchester

I have had dealings with the majority of recruitment agencies in this country and beyond. He really stands out from the crowd and the IT industry would benefit from more people like him.

Software Developer – Glasgow

Absolutely fantastic throughout my interview process, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! First of all, he is an absolutely brilliant communicator and extremely reliable. On top of all of his brilliant recruitment skills, it was amazing to see how genuinely excited he was for me when I received my offer. This truly conveyed to me how much he cares about his clients.

Software Engineer – Edinburgh

A friend looking after me, that’s how I felt. His friendly character made the whole process way easier and enjoyable, he also managed to get me one of the most interesting work opportunities. I’m really glad our paths have crossed.

Software Engineer - Edinburgh

THE BEST test recruiter I’ve had the pleasure of working with, from start to finish. She provided me with training resources and is an organiser and participant in testing events. She really has taken the time to fully understand the testing principles.

Test Analyst – Aberdeen

Compared to other recruiters I have worked with she seemed genuinely interested in helping me with my job search rather than just fulfilling quotas.

Software Developer – Lincoln

He is the most honest, thorough and experienced recruitment consultant I have ever dealt with. If he can’t help you, he’ll tell you rather than spinning a yarn and putting you forward for jobs that aren’t suitable.

Technical Author – Edinburgh

I can say with total sincerity I’ve never dealt with a more professional, knowledgeable and personable recruitment firm in fifteen years of contracting. They helped my wife and I relocate to Edinburgh with our five month old son and it’s in no small part to their tips and recommendations that we’ve settled in so quickly.

Transformation Consultant – Leeds

He goes out of his way to ensure you are prepared for your interview and I particularly appreciated his professional no nonsense approach to working with me to find a new position.

Infrastructure Architect – Glasgow

She even was able to help get a firmer offer as I was offered two roles on the same day. I felt she went over and above to get the best offer she could for me without selling myself short.

QA Engineer – Glasgow

Equal parts friendly and professional, never once coming across as simply going through the motions and made the whole thing as painless as possible for all parties

Software Developer – Glasgow

It was a breath of fresh air – She is professional and approachable and will be there to help you every step of the way. Other recruiters give you the hard sell and the ‘best friend routine’ to get you on board and then just leave you guessing, but not here… She’s the real deal

Solutions Architect – Glasgow

I’ve never written a recommendation for a recruiter before, so it must show how impressed I am!

Software Developer – Northampton
