What are we looking for in a Senior Solution Strategist?

Check out the following video for an overview of this exciting role! : Senior Solution Strategist Video!

You are perceptive, collaborative and agile with sharp strategic instincts. You have a strong working knowledge of a variety of digital and enterprise platform tools. You have strong written and presentation skills, business acumen, an inherent curiosity and desire to figure out how IT solutions can shape the ultimate customer experience. You know that applying new technology to old ways of doing things won't magically change the way GNB delivers services to our citizens. What makes you competitive is your technical expertise, and your desire to be both hands-on and strategic.

Do you love working in a fast-paced environment with multiple clients? Are you looking for an opportunity to be a strategic partner and develop unique solutions that help deliver services to the citizens of our province? Yes? Good. This could be a great opportunity for you. And us!

Want a sneak peek into the real day-to-day? Here are some examples of client challenges you may face:

A client expresses a strategic goal to be more customer centric and to vastly change the experience of the public with obtaining the department's service offerings. How can technology better support the client journey from the initial contact to the provision of services?

A client is at an elevated risk due to technical debt: antiquated, disparate, legacy systems. Upgrades are difficult, integrations are nearly impossible, resources are hard to find. The client also has many lines of business performing similar functions but all with their own flavor and twist. How can technology unite all the business teams and associated systems around the customer?

Some clients are utilizing multiple systems with overlapping functionality that touch the same customers and collect the same data. These organizational silos negatively impact the quality of their customers' experiences. How can these clients adopt a shared platform and processes across their departmental functions to drive efficiencies and produce a better customer journey?

A client procured a new enterprise resource platform to transform how it manages its operational business units and finances. How can the client further advance and modernize its own business processes and also enable other client departments to onboard using the solution?

Do these statements describe you?

I like being on the front lines of innovation, working side-by-side with customers to drive value across the entirety of their digital transformation journey

I have a passion for technology and the curiosity and willingness to learn new skills, work with new tools and discover new and innovative approaches to solving complex technical challenges

Team of one or one of many, I am a team player

If something has my name on it, you can be sure it will be done, and done right
