Naryant’s Purpose Statement Data for a safer, healthier, and more sustainable community.
Position Summary Naryant is seeking a Senior Solutions Consultant / Delivery Architect to lead client engagements from strategy through delivery. This is a senior consulting role for someone who can own the client relationship, guide executive conversations, shape transformation initiatives, and lead multidisciplinary teams through complex delivery. The ideal candidate is a well-rounded consultant first: someone who can understand a client’s business, identify operational and process challenges, manage scope and expectations, and translate needs into practical, data-driven technology solutions. Strong technical fluency is essential, but the role is not limited to architecture. This person will be expected to lead delivery, build trust with senior stakeholders, support change management, mentor internal teams, and play a leadership role in presales and solution strategy. In a lean, fast-moving consultancy, this role acts as a senior point of accountability across multiple concurrent engagements, ensuring clients feel confident, delivery risks are managed, and solutions create real business value.
