Presales Consultant £50,000 - £60,000 Solid benefits package Manchester (3 days a week in the office) Customer visits across sites when required The opportunity: I'm working with an established MSP that specialises in supporting schools and multi-academy trusts across the UK. They're looking to add a Presales Consultant to their technical team; someone who enjoys working directly with customers, understanding challenges, and designing practical technology solutions that genuinely make a difference. This is a customer-facing role where you'll bridge the gap between sales, technical delivery and the end customer. You'll lead discovery sessions, gather requirements, design solutions and present recommendations that help schools improve reliability, security and user experience across their IT environments. The role offers a great blend of technical and commercial exposure, giving you the opportunity to work across Microsoft 365, Azure, networking, security, virtualisation and modern workplace technologies without moving too far away from the technology itself. If you enjoy customer engagement, solution design and helping organisations make informed technology decisions, this could be an excellent next step. Day to day You'll work closely with customers to understand their current environment, future plans and technical challenges. You'll lead discovery workshops, site assessments and technical discussions, helping shape solutions that align with both operational requirements and budget expectations. Working alongside sales and delivery teams, you'll create solution designs, technical proposals and implementation approaches covering infrastructure, cloud, networking, security and end-user technologies. You'll present recommendations to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, ensuring customers understand the value and outcomes behind each solution. You'll also support the transition from proposal through to delivery, working closely with implementation teams to ensure solutions are practical, achievable and aligned with customer expectations. Who we are looking for We're keen to speak with people already working in a customer-facing technical consultancy or presales role within an MSP or similar environment. You may currently be a Presales Consultant, Technical Consultant, Infrastructure Consultant, Presales Engineer or Solutions Consultant looking for an opportunity where you can take greater ownership of customer engagements and solution design. Experience across Microsoft 365, Azure, networking, security, virtualisation and modern endpoint management technologies would be highly beneficial. You'll be comfortable running customer workshops, gathering requirements, producing technical proposals and presenting solutions to a range of stakeholders. Experience within the education sector would be advantageous, but it isn't essential. Most importantly, we're looking for somebody who can combine strong technical knowledge with excellent communication skills and a consultative approach. The Next Steps If you're interested in finding out more, please apply or get in touch with Joe White at CRG TEC for a confidential conversation. Even if your experience doesn't perfectly match every requirement, we'd still be keen to speak with individuals who have a strong background in technical presales, consultancy or customer-facing infrastructure solution design.
