• Continuously monitor the HR Tech and extended workforce technology market — vendor roadmaps, product releases, and emerging entrants, to bring clients the best systems for their business needs
• Develop clear, objective comparisons of technology platforms and deliver executive-ready product and service recommendations, whether the client is building from scratch or leveraging Atrium’s technology partnerships
• Develop polished presentations and sales collateral (assessment findings, platform comparisons, business cases, and proposal decks), and play an active role in sales presentations, pitches, demos, and RFP responses
• Partner with clients from solution design through implementation and beyond to ensure successful adoption, coordinating engagement across vendor sales, solutions, and implementation stakeholders
• Advise and guide Atrium’s internal account teams on client technology platform functionality, escalate high-priority issues to technology partners, and stay engaged through resolution
• Manage, coach, and develop direct reports, delegating effectively and fostering professional growth as the practice scales
• Build, maintain, and deepen partnership relationships across Atrium’s technology ecosystem — VMS, Direct
• Sourcing, talent marketplace, and FMS providers, and negotiate platform pricing on clients’ behalf
• Contribute to assessment frameworks, comparison matrices, and advisory methodologies that scale the Talent Tech practice
• Represent Atrium externally at industry events, vendor conferences, and in market-facing thought leadership

• Deep, hands-on familiarity with multiple VMS platforms (e.g., Workday VNDLY, Beeline, VectorVMS, SAP Fieldglass, Flextrack), plus working knowledge of Direct Sourcing platforms (e.g., Opptly, WorkLLama, TalentNet, LiveHire) and FMS platforms (e.g., Worksuite, YunoJuno, Lifted by Upwork)
• Strong command of product and business functionality across these tools, with the credibility to speak to capabilities, configurations, integrations, and limitations, and to provide first-line troubleshooting guidance
• Understanding of systems integration concepts (APIs, data flows, connections to HRIS/ATS/ERP environments) sufficient to assess platform fit and diagnose integration issues
• People management maturity, with experience or demonstrated readiness managing, coaching, and developing direct reports
• Demonstrated experience in a client-facing advisory or consultative role, including developing high-quality presentations and supporting sales presentations, pitches, and RFP responses
• Commercial acumen, including experience supporting or leading vendor pricing discussions and negotiations
