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.
