About the Opportunity
Ellucians Solutions Consulting organization is seeking a Senior Solutions Consultant with deep Banner Student experience and a strong understanding of the end-to-end student lifecycle, ideally complemented by exposure to Banner Finance. This role operates within a capability-based presales model, where Solutions Consultants partner closely with Strategic Business Advisors and Professional Services to deliver confident delivery-ready presales engagement.
In this role, you will serve as a trusted advisor and functional subject matter expert, helping institutions envision how Ellucian Student and related capabilities enable student success while aligning early conversations to realistic delivery and change outcomes. You will be part of a team that owns opportunities end-to-end - from early discovery and demonstration through a clean handoff to implementation - ensuring continuity, clarity, and reduced risk throughout the sales cycle.
This is not a demo-only role. It is a position for someone who can combine deep functional credibility with thoughtful discovery, disciplined scoping, and clear value articulation in a SaaS environment. Your expertise will directly influence discovery quality, solution alignment, and customer confidence, helping institutions modernize with minimal disruption and reinforcing Ellucians reputation for offering the most advanced ERP SIS and AI-driven solution to power innovation for higher education.
Where You Will Make an Impact
Serve as a Banner Student subject matter expert, helping institutions understand how Ellucian solutions support the full student lifecycle from admissions through completion.
Participate in structured discovery and strategy conversations to understand institutional goals, challenges, and readiness, working in partnership with sales SBAs and services teams.
Deliver virtual and on-site capability demonstrations that are aligned to customer needs, sales strategy, and realistic delivery approaches - emphasizing what is standard, configurable, and scalable.
Collaborate within a team-based model, contributing your functional expertise while supporting broader opportunity ownership and continuity from presales into delivery.
Build credibility and trust with institutional stakeholders - including staff administrators and decision-makers - through clear communication, practical insight, and higher-ed expertise.
Support competitive and complex pursuits by helping customers visualize outcomes, assess fit, and move forward with confidence.
