The posting

Join Columbia Road as a Senior Software Consultant! Make an impact crafting seamless customer journeys and solving complex challenges directly with clients. Enjoy autonomy, growth opportunities, and variety in technology whilst being supported by a great community. We look forward to hearing from you, future Roadie!

Who we are

Columbia Road is the go-to consulting partner for businesses that want to sell better. Excelling in both commercial operations and scalable technology, we build seamless and effective customer journeys for measurable impact. In each of our projects, we focus on generating more revenue and more customers for our clients, working in cross-competence teams made up of the brightest minds in digital commerce.

As a community-led company, we believe in giving a lot of responsibility and freedom to our employees. Instead of line managers and red tape, we offer the tools and resources to all Roadies to make the best possible decisions for their own job and for our community. We offer you a diverse and inclusive workplace, and your fellow Roadies will ensure that you’ll feel comfortable from day one.

The job & what you’d be working on

As a senior software consultant at Columbia Road, you will be working in a high-impact role at the core of our clients’ businesses:

✅ You'll be a trusted advisor to important stakeholders, helping our clients create better and smarter business through software

✅ As a hands-on consultant, you’ll design and implement the tech needed to drive business results forward. This means you’ll code, build storefronts, and work with APIs and integrations.

✅ You're technology agnostic, choosing the tools based on the problem at hand. Your contribution will have a significant effect on the client’s success.

✅ You'll often work in multidisciplinary teams with other Roadies and client stakeholders. As a senior software consultant, you can expect to have a responsible role in the technical choices and implementation of the project.

✅ Depending on your interest, you can contribute to and develop the community via eg. mentoring, recruitment, DEIB work or competence development. You’ll also have opportunities to collaborate with our business and sales functions to draft sales proposals and spot new opportunities in the market.

Columbia Road’s focus on digital sales means that we tackle a large variety of projects ranging from ecommerce platforms and data platform projects to site optimisation and mobile development. To mention a few:

  • We help Elisa run modern online sales in a fully integrated team
  • We’re working with Posti on a scalable ecommerce platform.
  • We’re crafting a customer portal for Qt’s global customer base

Our ways of working

We encourage our client teams to choose the tools and methods that suit them best. For us, technology is a tool to solve business problems and therefore, the tools can vary a lot between projects. Even as your focus is likely on some part of the stack (frontend, backend, integrations or other), we value people who aren’t too afraid to get their hands dirty with the other areas when necessary.

All of our consultants work directly with client stakeholders. While development is probably where most of your time goes, we are in the business of creating impact for our clients, and that means spending some time to understand how the business functions. Read more about how we code and design high performing digital sales channels here.

When it comes to working location, we are flexible to meet our clients’ needs. We hope that you can commit to spending at least a few days a week at our client’s premises. Continuous learning is one of our core values and you will be offered various learning opportunities like internal training and meetups to expand your skills.

Professional benefits for you:

⭐️ A high-impact role as a trusted advisor: experience accelerated professional growth by creating tangible results for our clients

⭐️ Working directly with the client, no middle management involved: enjoy autonomy, responsibility and ownership of your work

⭐️ Work with the most talented people in the industry: learn from great people in a truly flat organisation

⭐️ A technology agnostic and business-driven approach: gain experience from many different technologies by solving complex business challenges

⭐️ Opportunity to participate in account management and framing our sales offering, should you be interested

⭐️ Opportunities to participate in e.g., recruitment, competency development, or DEIB work depending on your career goals

Skills and experience we expect you to have:

➡️ Broad experience in building web services

➡️ Understanding of the entire web development process (design, development, deployment, operations)

➡️ Familiarity with both front and backend development. You may specialise in either area, but you aren’t afraid to jump in at any point.

➡️ Languages familiar to you could include e.g. JavaScript (and frameworks such as React, Angular, or Vue.js), Scala, Go, Python, Java, or PHP.

➡️ Great communication skills, analytical mindset and problem-solving skills

➡️ Past experience in consulting or digital commerce is very valuable but not necessary

➡️ Languages: professional proficiency in Finnish and English

Recruitment process

Our recruitment process typically involves 2-3 interviews where we learn about your skills and what motivates you. You'll discover more about Columbia Road and meet various Roadies along the way. After our discussions, we'll reach out to your chosen references. We look forward to hearing from you soon!

Interested in joining Columbia Road in Jyväskylä? Great! You'll get to be part of establishing our presence there from the very beginning. This is an exciting phase, as you'll get to influence many things with the support of brilliant colleagues from Helsinki and Tampere. We are currently hiring our first Jyväskylä Roadies and the practicalities are still very much a work in progress, so we hope you have a sense of adventure as we get things rolling. We're happy to chat more about this during the recruitment process!

Compensation and benefits

Salaries at Columbia Road are always based on your experience and skillset and we are open to hire multiple seniority levels for this role. You can expect the monthly salary to land between 4500-6000€ (Senior Consultant) or 6000-8000€ (Managing Consultant) depending on your level of seniority.

Roadies also get to enjoy a long list of benefits. Just to name a few, we offer:

  • A community-led organisation with a high level of autonomy
  • A diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace
  • Option to buy stocks of the company through the common employee share program
  • Recurring training and learning sessions to support your professional growth
  • Offices in downtown Helsinki (with gym and pool), Tampere and soon Jyväskylä!
  • A wide selection of quality tools to use for your work (laptop, phone etc.)
  • Extensive health care services, including dental and mental health
  • Insurance for travel and free-time
  • Lunch benefit
  • Phone subscription benefit
  • Weekly breakfasts and healthy daily refreshments
  • Flexible sports, culture, commuting and massage benefit
  • Recurring Roadie-ideated events and activities
  • Childcare services when your child falls ill
  • A possibility to book the office for private events during the weekends
  • Compensation for working on open source or social programs in your free time

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
