This is precisely the main role of this IT profession, ensuring the consulting, analysis and implementation of various solutions to be put in place. In this context, the technical consultant takes on the role of project manager while supporting the project owner. It's a technical-functional position with a privileged link between technical developers and various service managers.

Different roles are thus necessary as a consultant certainly, but also as a functional analyst.

What is the ideal profile for a Technical Consultant
To work as a technical consultant, it is essential to quickly understand the client's needs.
Five main qualities are required in the profile such as writing and interpersonal skills, rigor, open-mindedness, curiosity as well as the practice of certain soft skills.
Moreover, the job requires active listening to respond precisely to customer needs. Thanks to this sense of listening, the need is thus much better understood and the technical consultant is able to deliver a personalized service. Furthermore, excellent communication skills will also be required.
Both to understand the client's needs and to be understood by other stakeholders. This is why the technical consultant demonstrates remarkable interpersonal skills to suggest the right alternatives and share their motivation with colleagues. The social aspect remains paramount when working within a team, which is mostly the case. For better collaboration with team members and to establish a relationship of trust with clients, their communication skills will therefore be essential.
