About Ramp
Ramp is building the smart infrastructure for finance teams, embedded in the transaction flow of every dollar a business spends. We automate how over $275B in annualized spend flows in and out of 85,000+ companies: authorizing payments, flagging risk, categorizing spend, and closing books.
The problems are high-stakes, data-dense, and unforgiving.
We hire people with high agency and high urgency. We look for slope over intercept. We care less about where you trained and more about what you’ve built. At Ramp, everyone is a builder who owns problems end to end and makes consequential decisions that shape the outcome.
The median Ramp customer saves 7.5% and grows revenue 16% in their first year – far in excess of businesses operating without Ramp. We believe every ambitious company deserves the same.
If you want to build systems that directly shape how companies move and manage billions, Ramp is the place to do it.
About the Role
Technical Consulting is Ramp's post-sales technical delivery team. When a finance org needs Ramp to work the way their business actually runs, this is the team that takes customers through that transformation, from complex accounting issues to integration errors to everything in between.
The Senior Manager, Technical Consulting, Strategic leads the team responsible for Ramp's largest and most strategic accounts. You'll own post-sales technical implementation for this segment end to end — from technical discovery and solution design through go-live, adoption, and expansion — working shoulder-to-shoulder with our Customer Activation team, with whom you'll co-own activation milestones and time-to-value.
Strategic customers arrive with multi-entity structures, legacy ERPs, in-flight finance transformations, procurement and treasury requirements, and executive sponsors who expect a named technical leader in the room. Your team is the last line of technical escalation for these accounts — there is no tier above you.
This role suits an experienced leader who can hold two things at once: the operating rigor to run a delivery function at scale, and the technical credibility to sit across from a Controller or VP of Finance and design the solution live.
- Lead and grow the Strategic Technical Consulting team — coach senior and principal-level consultants, own hiring, onboarding, performance, and career architecture, and build a bench deep enough to scale with the segment
- Own post-sales technical implementation for Ramp's largest accounts — accountable for solution quality, delivery timelines, and technical outcomes across the portfolio
- Co-own activation milestones with Customer Activation — build a joint operating model where TC drives technical design and Activation drives adoption and enablement, with shared accountability for time-to-value and a single, coherent customer experience
- Serve as the terminal escalation point for complex technical and delivery challenges — ERP integration failures, custom API work, at-risk go-lives, and commitments made pre-sales that need to be re-scoped
- Define the Strategic delivery model — scoping standards, solution design review, rules of engagement with CSM/Activation, staffing and capacity models, and quality bars that hold up under enterprise scrutiny
- Run the function with operational rigor — forecast capacity, balance workload across accounts, instrument the team with KPIs (time-to-value, go-live on-time rate, escalation volume, adoption and expansion attach), and use the data in coaching and planning
- Partner cross-functionally at the leadership level — Customer Activation, Strategic CSM and AM, Sales, Product, Engineering, and GTM Ops — to align on roadmap, feedback loops, and segment strategy
- Turn field insight into product influence — synthesize what Strategic customers actually need, champion it with Product and Engineering, and close the loop back to the field
- Set precedent where none exists — make sound calls in ambiguous, high-stakes situations, document the reasoning, and teach the team to do the same
What You Need
- 5+ years in technical consulting, solutions architecture, implementation, or professional services — with substantial time on enterprise or strategic accounts
- 2-3+ years managing individual contributors and owning team-level outcomes; experience managing senior or principal-level ICs strongly preferred
- Proven track record owning post-sales implementation for large, complex customers — multi-entity, multi-system, executive-sponsored engagements
- Deep fluency in ERP and financial systems (NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Oracle, Workday Financials, Microsoft Dynamics), APIs, SSO/HRIS integrations, and core accounting workflows (chart of accounts, subsidiaries, approval hierarchies, month-end close)
- Ability to assess and guide technical solution design at enterprise complexity — and to tell the difference between a configuration problem, a product gap, and a customer process problem
- Experience building the operating model between two functions — e.g. delivery and onboarding, or services and customer success — and making shared accountability actually work
- Executive-grade communication — able to hold the room with a CFO or Controller, advocate for your team internally, and translate technical trade-offs into business consequences
- Demonstrated judgment in ambiguity and a bias toward ownership in a fast-changing, high-growth environment
Nice to Have
- Experience at an ERP or financial systems vendor (Workday, NetSuite/Oracle, Sage Intacct, Coupa) or in a Big 4 / systems integrator implementation practice
- Background in fintech, spend management, or AP automation
- Experience standing up or scaling a technical consulting / professional services function from an early stage
- Experience managing managers or team leads, or building the career ladder for a technical IC track

Technical Consultant Jobs in California: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a technical consultant in California?
Most technical consultant roles in California require a bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, information systems, or a related discipline. California does not impose a state-issued license specifically for technical consultants, but professionals working in regulated verticals such as healthcare IT may need HIPAA compliance training, and those advising on financial systems often pursue certifications like Certified Information Systems Auditor. Vendor certifications from Salesforce, SAP, or Microsoft carry significant weight with California employers.
Which companies hire technical consultants in California?
Employers hiring technical consultants in California right now include Esri, Ramp, and Pariveda, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. California's concentration of Fortune 500 technology headquarters and major enterprise software users means demand is especially strong from both large consulting firms and their direct-hire clients in the Bay Area and greater Los Angeles.
Which California cities have the most technical consultant jobs?
San Francisco, Redlands, and Los Angeles account for the largest share of technical consultant openings in California. The Bay Area's density of enterprise technology companies and Silicon Valley headquarters drives the highest volume, while Los Angeles draws demand from entertainment technology, aerospace, and large healthcare systems, and San Diego's biotech and defense sectors keep a steady pipeline of openings for consultants with relevant domain experience.
Are there remote technical consultant jobs in California?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 68% of technical consultant openings tied to California are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting how much of the work involves software configuration, data analysis, and virtual stakeholder workshops rather than on-site presence. Project phases requiring system go-live support or in-person training tend to be the exceptions where on-site attendance is expected.
How can I get hired as a technical consultant in California with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is through an associate consultant or junior analyst role at one of the large consulting firms with California offices, such as Accenture, Deloitte, or Cognizant, which run structured new-graduate programs each year. Lateral moves from roles like business analyst, systems analyst, or IT support specialist are common bridges. Building a portfolio around a recognized certification, such as Salesforce Administrator or AWS Cloud Practitioner, gives candidates without direct consulting experience a credible starting point that California hiring managers respond to.
Where can I find and apply to technical consultant jobs in California?
