Is the Technical Principal Consultant role a technical job?

Yes, absolutely. It is a senior technical leadership role responsible for managing and mentoring a team of technical consultants who design, build, and deliver complex technical solutions—such as integrations, custom reports, and extensions—within the Unit4 ERP platform. The role requires deep technical expertise, including SQL, Unit4 integration tools, web services, scripting, and testing, combined with leadership and project management responsibilities.

Technical: SQL, PowerShell, Unit4 APIs, integration tools, reporting engines, scripting, troubleshooting, software testing. Leadership: mentoring, resource management.

The Technical Principal Consultant is a highly technical leadership role focused on managing the technical delivery team, building and maintaining complex integrations, reports, and extensions within Unit4, and ensuring high technical standards across projects.

FP&A (Financial Planning & Analysis) is a specialist module within Unit4, focused on forecasting, budgeting, planning, analytics, and reporting.
It’s often delivered as Unit4 FP&A CPM/BI (Corporate Performance Management / Business Intelligence) and has a very different scope and technical skill set from the core ERP “build” side.

By contrast:

• Finance Build Consultant → usually works on the core finance modules in Unit4 ERP (GL, AP, AR, Fixed Assets, etc.), configuring business processes, workflows, and transactional finance functionality. This is more about record-to-report and day-to-day finance operations.

• FP&A Principal Consultant → focuses on planning and analysis tooling, working with data models, integrations, ETL, performance dashboards, and advanced reporting. There’s a stronger technical/data engineering element (SQL, ETL tools, integration with other systems) and often closer collaboration with BI/analytics teams.

Think of it like:

• Finance Build = the engine that runs the finance transactions.

• FP&A = the dashboard and analytics brain that helps leadership plan the journey.

“We’re looking for someone with hands-on Unit4 FP&A (planning, budgeting, forecasting, analytics) experience — not core ERP finance build/configuration.”

• Salary is £42k - £53k. Might consider someone above (say £5k?) but needs to ideally stick in the budget
• They are now in offices in Houlton, Rugby. Will be hybrid (ill explain on call)

• Business is going well. Previously they just focused on project work, but have recently launched their platform which is giving them 2 / 3 year commitment from customers
• Still work in automotive sector – platform is gear towards dealers
• This role is to focus on their platform and they are looking for someone who has a good mix of front end (Power BI, Tableau) and back end (SQL Server) skills
• Don’t get too bogged down in the Azure experience. Not looking for an expert there – just exposure
• Role still very hands on but will also be a problem solver / whiteboard sessions
• Good comms are essential – will be customer facing
• Mike sees this role evolving in to a “head of data” / “head of engineering” long term

• Power BI – not just creating dashboards. But someone that talks about Power BI Service, Building pipelines

• SQL Server – not just a DBA but need experience of SQL capabilities for data transformation and querying. Need the mix of front and back end skills

Power BI questions you could ask – examples from Chat GPT

🧠 DAX (Data Analysis Expressions)

1. "Can you describe a complex DAX measure you’ve created and what problem it solved?"
   → Follow-up: Ask how they optimized it for performance.
2. "How would you calculate a year-to-date (YTD) value, excluding weekends or holidays?"
   → This reveals understanding of time intelligence and conditional logic.

🛠️ Power Query (M Language)

3. "Have you used Power Query to clean and transform messy data? What specific transformations did you perform?"
4. "Describe a scenario where you used custom M code instead of the GUI. What did you need to achieve?"

🧱 Tabular Modelling

5. "How do you design your data model in Power BI? What are your best practices for relationships and performance?"
6. "Have you worked with star schema or snowflake models in Power BI? Which do you prefer and why?"

📊 Advanced Visualisation Techniques

7. "What advanced visualisation features do you regularly use — e.g. drill-through, tooltips, bookmarks, or custom visuals?"
8. "Can you describe a time when you had to design a dashboard for non-technical stakeholders? How did you ensure it was effective?"

🔄 Bonus (End-to-End Workflow)

9. "Can you walk me through how you’ve taken a dataset from raw source to published dashboard in the Power BI service?"
   → Listen for use of Power Query, DAX, modelling, visuals, and publishing/deployment.
10. "Have you used Power BI deployment pipelines? If so, how do you manage Dev/Test/Prod stages?"
