Senior Consultant, Lease & Lending Platforms
Fuel Talent
About the role
We're looking for a hands-on consultant who is equally comfortable writing a data-mapping spec and running a design session with a finance operations team. You'll guide lenders and lessors through the rollout of their leasing and lending platform, from first discovery through go-live.
You'll own the technical side of client engagements, shape how the solution fits together, and serve as a trusted adviser on how equipment, vehicle and consumer finance businesses can get the most from their technology.
What you'll do
Build and deliver the technical solution
- Configure the lending and leasing platform to fit each client's products, pricing and operating model.
- Design and build connections to surrounding systems — general ledger, CRM, credit bureaus, dealer and broker portals — using REST/SOAP services and file-based interfaces.
- Create extensions, custom data structures and reporting where standard features fall short.
- Plan and run data conversion from legacy portfolios: mapping, reconciliation, mock loads and final switchover.
- Diagnose defects and performance issues, and make sure test and production environments are ready on schedule.
Advise clients and translate their needs
- Facilitate discovery sessions with business users and turn what you hear into clear functional and technical specifications.
- Agree project scope, platform configuration approach and how components fit together.
- Walk clients through core processes — origination and booking, servicing over the contract term, collections, end-of-term and finance postings — and confirm they work as intended.
- Serve as the go-between for operations, finance and IT, keeping everyone aligned on decisions.
- Share industry practice and explain what the platform can and can't do out of the box.
- Partner with delivery leads on planning, risk tracking and project governance.
Shape the right answer
- Weigh standard configuration against bespoke development and recommend the more sustainable path.
- Spot gaps early, lay out options and explain the cost, timeline and risk of each.
- Take part in design review boards and keep the overall solution consistent.
- Coach and develop less experienced team members.
What you bring
- Several years implementing or supporting lease, loan or equipment finance software in a technical capacity.
- Strong SQL skills, plus experience with data modelling, ETL tooling and building system interfaces.
- Working knowledge of how finance and leasing businesses operate, including:
- Asset tracking, depreciation and residual value setting
- Lease and loan accounting principles (e.g., revenue recognition, IFRS 16 / ASC 842 awareness)
- Vehicle leasing, fleet and equipment finance products
- Instalment credit, hire purchase and amortising loan structures
- Contract changes during the term: rewrites, early payoffs, transfers and terminations
- The full journey from pricing and proposal through credit approval to activation
- A track record of integrating systems via APIs, XML messaging and web services.
- A solid grasp of back-office finance workflows and how they connect to the systems behind them.
- Clear writing, confident presenting and a calm, credible presence with senior client stakeholders.
Nice to have
- Experience running a workstream or leading a small delivery team on client projects.
- Time spent as a solution or technical architect, or sitting on a design review board.
- Exposure to cloud-hosted platforms, access and security models, or service-based architectures.
- Comfort working in Agile teams and within structured enterprise delivery methods.
Working arrangements
You must have the ability to travel internationally. xhyhwjd 2 weeks in the U.S. and two weeks in Canada or Mexico each month, depending on client needs.
