Design intake processes, roles and responsibilities, approval paths, and asset management use cases spanning Workfront and AEM Assets.
Define how metadata moves between systems, document field mappings and ownership, and validate that configurations support the intended business process.
Change Management and Adoption
Assess organizational readiness and support stakeholder alignment, communication planning, and adoption strategies.
Create and deliver role-based training, playbooks, standard operating procedures, and process documentation.
Lead business UAT planning and customer walkthroughs, validate results against acceptance criteria, and support knowledge transfer and post-go-live self-sufficiency.
Practical Solution Delivery
Independently configure and test forms, templates, approval workflows, reports, metadata structures, and permissions within agreed solution standards.
Build and maintain moderately complex Fusion workflows using branching, field mappings, data transformations, API calls, and error handling; validate connected processes end to end.
Troubleshoot configuration and integration issues using execution logs, API responses, and data validation; resolve issues within scope and escalate architectural or code-level problems with clear findings.
Program Execution and Value Realization
Manage scope, risks, dependencies, and decisions with Project Managers and Engagement Leads; communicate roadblocks and tradeoffs early.
Establish baseline measures and KPIs with customers, track business outcomes, and deliver executive readouts on progress, adoption, and value.
Support sales and scoping discussions by clarifying business needs, expected outcomes, delivery assumptions, and implementation considerations.

Hands-on experience building and troubleshooting multi-step automations in Fusion or a comparable integration platform, including conditional logic and error handling; able to deliver independently within defined architecture and security standards.
Strong facilitation, presentation, documentation, and executive communication skills; experience navigating organizational change and stakeholder alignment.

San Jose senior consultant roles are posted by Deloitte, Adobe, and A10 Networks and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. San Jose's employer mix ranges from global technology firms and semiconductor companies to regional management consulting practices and large financial services organizations with local offices.
Are there remote senior consultant jobs in San Jose?
Yes, though availability depends heavily on the type of work: analytical, strategy, and IT consulting roles are far more remote-friendly than hands-on operational or on-site advisory positions. About 0% of senior consultant openings tied to San Jose are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting the tech-forward nature of the local market. Client-facing project work and stakeholder workshops tend to require in-person presence most often.
