Product Implementation Consultant - Contract - 6 months

Who we are looking for

An excellent opportunity exists for a Product Implementation Consultant to join Amundi Technology's Corporate Applications team. This role sits within a new International Deployments initiative, responsible for deploying Corporate IT tools, developed in-house or sourced from external vendors.

Why this role is important to us

Amundi Corporate IT has developed and sourced a portfolio of tools that are ready for international deployment. As the international footprint grows, there is a clear need for a dedicated resource to drive the deployment pipeline, coordinate with local IT managers, R&D teams and business sponsors, and ensure each rollout is executed with rigour and quality. This role enables the International Deployments team to deliver at scale, freeing the team manager to focus on strategy, governance and pipeline prioritisation while the consultant manages the end to end execution of individual deployments.

What you will be responsible for

Working closely with the Corporate Applications & International Deployments manager, Corporate Tools R&D teams and local IT managers, you will:

• Conduct country needs assessments to identify gaps and validate the business case for each tool deployment
• Execute end-to-end deployment projects: planning, configuration, UAT coordination, training and go-live
• Apply and maintain the GATES assessment framework to evaluate product readiness prior to deployment
• Coordinate with R&D teams to prepare deployment packages, (including AIassisted agents) and runbooks.
• Facilitate Project Committee meetings and produce regular status reporting across the deployment portfolio
• Manage stakeholder communications across countries, business sponsors and IT teams
• Ensure smooth handover to Support (R&D Teams and local L1/L2 support teams) post go-live, with appropriate documentation and training
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of deployment methods, packages and reusable frameworks
• Support security (ISP, QECI and other compliance documentation) processes as required per deployment.

What we value for the role

The position will suit a technically capable, delivery focused consultant who is comfortable operating in a global, fast paced environment and can manage multiple concurrent projects.

• Proven experience delivering enterprise software implementations (e.g. Salesforce, Workday, Oracle, SAP or similar platforms) or internally developed tools, end to end.
• Strong blend of technical and consultancy skills - able to install and configure tools, manage UAT and communicate clearly with business and IT stakeholders
• Experience coordinating deployments across multiple countries and time zones
• Ability to work both independently and as a collaborative team member
• Passionate about technology and AI, including AI assisted processes and tools
• Excellent communication and facilitation skills; comfortable presenting to senior stakeholders
• Fluency in English. French is an advantage.
• Hands on troubleshooting mindset - able to diagnose and resolve issues during deployment.

Education & Preferred Qualifications

• Degree or Masters in Business Information Systems, Computer Science or equivalent
• Minimum 6 years of experience in software implementation, business analysis or IT project management roles
• Experience in Asset Management or Financial Services
• Familiarity with tools such as MS Dynamics CRM, Oracle Financials or similar enterprise platforms is beneficial but not essential. The role concerns the rollout of our proprietary in-house developed tools.
• Knowledge of project management frameworks (PMP, Prince2 or similar)
