As a Pre-Sales Application Consultant, you will be the technical and functional expert supporting the sales process. You will:

• Develop a deep understanding of our software applications and how they meet the needs of customers across multiple industries.

• Partner with the Sales and Consultancy teams to deliver engaging product demonstrations, presentations, and proofs of concept tailored to customer requirements.

• Work directly with prospects to understand their business processes, challenges, and goals, and translate these into relevant software solutions.

• Collaborate with customers to document requirements and align proposed solutions with their strategic objectives.

• Prepare detailed proposal documents, system specifications, and supporting materials for tenders and RFPs.

• Support the transition from pre-sales to implementation, ensuring customer expectations are clearly defined and achievable.

• Maintain up-to-date knowledge of the competitive landscape, product developments, and market trends to position our solutions effectively.

• Assist with training internal teams on new product functionality and best practices for customer engagement.

What You Bring

• Experience in the apparel/fashion industry or related commercial environments.

• A solid understanding of ERP, PLM, or other business application software.

• Strong communication, presentation, and influencing skills — confident in front of both technical and non-technical audiences.

• Excellent documentation and analytical skills, with a methodical approach to problem-solving.

• Proficiency in Microsoft Office, especially PowerPoint, Word, and Excel.

• Familiarity with Windows and/or Unix/Linux operating environments.

• The ability to work independently, manage multiple priorities, and thrive as part of a collaborative team.

• (Desirable) Experience supporting or delivering software demonstrations or implementations.

• (Desirable) A background in Accounting or understanding of business financial processes.

What’s in It for You

• Hybrid flexibility – primarily home-based with travel to our Leicester office and customer sites across the UK and Europe.

• Comprehensive training and onboarding – gain hands-on experience with our software and learn from experienced consultants and sales specialists.

• Career development – structured reviews and opportunities to grow into senior pre-sales, consultancy, or product specialist roles.
