Project description
A hands-on implementer who configures the Xceptor platform to meet client requirements. Works independently across the full build lifecycle - from reading a spec to delivering a tested, documented solution. Thrives in fast-paced, project-based environments where no two problems are the same.
Responsibilities
- As a Senior, the experience and confidence to operate independently on complex engagements. Can lead scoping sessions without a Xceptor lead present, design solutions from first principles, review peers' code/work, and manage client expectations at a senior level. The measure of seniority here is breadth of independent delivery, not necessarily years on a CV.
- Configure the Xceptor platform across complex, multi-source data flows and reconciliation scenarios
- Lead or co-lead scoping and requirements sessions with client business and technical teams
- Translate business requirements into Xceptor solution designs independently - without a pre-written spec
- Write user stories and functional specifications to a sign-off standard
- Perform solution design / code reviews for more junior team members
- Identify scope risks early and raise them with a proposed resolution, not just a flag
- Act as the primary technical point of contact for a workstream when required
- Support onboarding of junior resources where required
WHAT GOOD LOOKS LIKE
Independent judgement - Makes decisions without needing sign-off at every step. Knows when to escalate and when to resolve.
BA rigour - Asks the right questions in discovery. Identifies requirement gaps before a line of config is written.
Design thinking - Thinks in systems, not tasks. Considers edge cases, downstream effects, and maintainability.
Xceptor | Senior Implementation Consultant Profile | Confidential
Peer leadership - Gives useful, constructive feedback in reviews. Naturally raises the quality of those around them.
Client maturity - Holds their own with senior business or technology stakeholders. Adapts communication style to the audience.
Full delivery ownership - Has taken a workstream from requirements to client sign-off with minimal oversight - and can describe it clearly.

Preferred
· OO language - C#, Java or Python (proficient)
· C# / .NET - read, review & modify confidently
