Solution Consultant - CCaaS, NICE CXone & Cognigy

You Are

An hands-on Solution Consultant who designs and delivers next generation contact center and agentic AI experiences on NiCE CXone and Cognigy, with growing depth in Agentic AI platforms. You own discrete solution workstreams end to end discovery, design, build oversight, and go-live, while collaborating closely with senior architects and engagement leads on broader program strategy.

At this level, you're expected to lead the technical design of a workstream or mid-sized engagement, mentor more junior engineers and consultants, and represent the solution credibly in front of client managers and directors. You bring sharp execution, a point of view on conversational and agentic AI, and the appetite to grow into a principal architect role.

The Work

Lead the solution design of a CCaaS and agentic AI workstream on NiCE CXone and Cognigy from requirements through production rollout.

Architect agentic AI experiences, autonomous virtual agents, agent-assist copilots, and tool-using conversational flows, that integrate with the contact center, CRM, and core enterprise systems.

Translate business requirements into clear technical designs: solution architecture diagrams, integration specs, data flows, sequence diagrams, and non-functional requirements.

Configure and oversee build of CXone Studio scripts, Cognigy flows, intent models, prompts, and LLM integrations; review the work of build engineers and conversation designers.

Drive integration with CRM (Salesforce, Dynamics, ServiceNow), WFM, knowledge management, and back-end systems via APIs, webhooks, and event streams.

Estimate effort, plan sprints, and manage technical delivery for on-shore and off-shore pods; identify risks early and surface mitigations.

Partner with experience design and conversation design teams on persona, dialog patterns, and escalation logic.

Coach 2–5 engineers, consultants, or analysts; review designs, unblock the team, and grow the bench.

Contribute to proposals, RFP responses, demos, and reusable assets that strengthen our CCaaS and Agentic AI practice.
