OpenLink Techno-Functional Consultant
Houston, TX | Onsite | Long-term opportunity
iSphere is looking for an OpenLink Techno-Functional Consultant who can work comfortably between business users, developers, traders, and project teams without becoming “the person who only understands one side of the conversation.”
This role supports strategic technology initiatives inside an energy trading environment, with work centered around OpenLink platforms, business process improvements, system enhancements, integrations, and operational support across trading and risk workflows.
The team needs somebody who can gather requirements, troubleshoot issues, configure solutions, support delivery efforts, and help turn complex business requests into something technical teams can actually build without requiring twelve follow-up meetings to decode it.
The work includes platform configuration, functional analysis, process mapping, testing support, production rollout activities, user support, and helping improve existing workflows across the environment.
What they’re really looking for:
• 5+ years of experience as a Business Analyst, OpenLink Developer, or techno-functional consultant
• Hands-on OpenLink configuration, customization, or enhancement experience
• Strong requirements gathering and stakeholder management skills
• Experience supporting enterprise software delivery projects
• Ability to troubleshoot issues and work across both business and technical teams
• Experience with testing, cutover, training, and go-live support activities
Experience within energy trading, utilities, risk management, commodities platforms, or consulting environments is a strong plus.
This role works closely with consultants, engineering teams, operations groups, and business stakeholders, so communication matters a lot. The right person can explain technical issues clearly without sounding like they’re reading directly from system logs.
The environment moves quickly and priorities can shift fast, especially once trading operations get involved. Somebody who likes solving problems, untangling workflows, and improving systems without creating unnecessary complexity will probably fit in really well here.
And yes… “quick enhancement” requests in trading environments still somehow turn into conversations involving integrations, reporting, risk impacts, and at least three departments who all thought the other team owned the process.
