    The consultant will need to perform all Pre-Sales activities required to sell Centric Solution to customers. The goal is to have the consultant self-sufficient as much as possible and ultimately become a Centric product expert.

    This means a mix of both business and strong technical consulting skills to:

    Understand the software product fully and the applicability to the industry

    Install and configure the product to be self sufficient

    Centric is aggressively penetrating the retail planning market, so a sales attitude will be requested to professionally advertise Centrics confidence to provide value to their customers. The ability to deal with customers and handle customer situation alone as much as possible will be key.

    Centric is a small company requiring from consultants a real sense of initiative and autonomy to deal with everyday situation. The candidate will have to be comfortable working alone with clear project success goals, without permanent supervision.
