About the Role

As a Principal Solutions Consultant, you will lead solution and technical strategy for some of Zeta’s most strategic enterprise opportunities across the UK, supporting both new customer acquisition and growth within existing customer relationships.

Reporting to the Director of Solutions Consulting, you will partner closely with Enterprise Sales, Customer Growth and cross-functional teams to understand complex customer challenges, develop differentiated solution strategies and demonstrate measurable business value.

What You’ll Do

• Lead strategic discovery and solution design. Own discovery and solution strategy for complex enterprise opportunities, partnering with Enterprise Sales and Customer Growth to understand business objectives, technical requirements and success criteria.

• Support customer growth and modernisation. Identify how customers can realise greater value through additional capabilities, broader adoption and platform evolution, helping define practical migration and expansion paths.
• Validate feasibility and delivery requirements. Partner with Product, Engineering, Services and implementation teams to clarify data, integration, architecture and migration dependencies, and ensure a clear handover from pre-sales into delivery.
• Represent capabilities accurately. Ensure proposed solutions reflect functionality available in the relevant market, clearly distinguishing current capabilities from roadmap items and making delivery dependencies explicit.
• Bring customer insight into the business. Translate customer requirements, competitive insight and market feedback into recommendations that inform product priorities and UK go-to-market strategy.
• Elevate the wider team. Mentor Senior Solutions Consultants and Solutions Consultants, and contribute to pre-sales methodologies, standards, playbooks and enablement programmes.
• Represent Zeta externally. Share expertise through customer events, conferences, webinars and other industry engagements.

What You’ll Bring

• 10+ years of experience in Solutions Consulting, Sales Engineering or enterprise pre-sales within SaaS, MarTech, CRM or related technology platforms.
