Vacancy manager

Working at Vasco means working in an environment built on trust. You help organizations move forward by looking beyond the challenge at hand. Together with the client, you explore where value is lost by analyzing the interdependence between strategy, people, processes, technology, and data. For us, a successful collaboration means enabling organizations to create lasting impact, even after our involvement ends.

Are you the kind of leader who turns complex challenges into meaningful change? Can you quickly identify what's really holding an organization back, and know how to create the momentum needed to move it forward? Do you thrive in environments where priorities shift, stakeholders have different perspectives, and no two situations are the same?

If you're someone who regularly thinks, there's a better way to do this, Vasco gives you the opportunity to make it happen.

Vasco is a growing consulting firm with ambitious plans for the future. We're continuously strengthening our service offerings, expanding client relationships, and improving the way we work. While our Business Unit structure provides a clear foundation, you'll have the autonomy to shape how engagements are delivered, how teams collaborate, and how results are achieved.

You'll lead complex transformation and performance improvement programs across a wide range of industries. Rather than managing a single project, you'll oversee multiple interconnected initiatives, ensuring they stay aligned, deliver measurable results, and translate strategy into execution.

You'll also play an important role in Vasco's continued growth. You'll build long-term client relationships, identify new opportunities, and help turn those opportunities into new engagements.

Beyond client work, you'll invest in people. You'll coach and develop consultants, help strengthen our organization, and contribute to the continued evolution of Vasco as we grow.

What you can expect from us

At Vasco, we believe great work starts with the right foundations. That’s why we offer:

• A permanent contract with a competitive salary (€5,750 to €8,000 per month, depending on experience) plus a bonus scheme.
• A mobility package that suits you: choose between a lease car or a mobility budget.
• A pension scheme with the option to make additional contributions.
• 25 days of annual leave, with the option to buy up to 5 extra days per year.
• A safe and inclusive working environment where you can be yourself (reflected in our 100% score in the Great Place to Work survey).
• A healthy work–life balance. Client work comes first, but you have genuine flexibility in how you structure your day, whether that means early starts and early finishes, or a later schedule that suits you better.
• A friendly, informal culture within a close-knit team of 50+ consultants who actively support each other’s growth, both professionally and personally.
• Plenty of space to grow in a way that fits your ambitions, with real opportunities to develop within the organization.
• The chance to make a visible impact, both with clients and within Vasco.

What you’ll do

As a manager at Vasco, you'll lead initiatives that shape how organizations operate, collaborate, and improve. You'll work in complex environments where multiple projects, stakeholders, priorities, and competing interests come together and you'll be the one bringing clarity, alignment, and momentum.

You'll work side by side with clients as a trusted advisor to stakeholders across every level of the organization. You're not someone who just delivers recommendations and then walks away. Instead, you help organizations turn strategy into action by driving change from within. That means moving seamlessly between the big picture and day-to-day execution. From defining the right approach and building stakeholder alignment to guiding implementation and adjusting course as new challenges emerge.

You'll also play a visible leadership role within Vasco. You'll coach and develop consultants, share your experience, and help others grow in their careers. Beyond project work, you'll contribute to the continued growth of our firm by improving how we work, strengthening our capabilities, and identifying new ways to create value for our clients.

In this role, you will:

• Lead complex transformation and performance improvement programs from strategy and design through implementation and long-term adoption.
• Work closely with executives, senior leaders, project teams, and stakeholders across client organizations.
• Coach, mentor, and develop consultants at different stages of their careers.
• Share knowledge and best practices across project teams and client organizations.
• Challenge and advise clients while helping them deliver lasting organizational change.
• Identify new business opportunities and contribute to winning and expanding client engagements.
• Help shape the future of Vasco by contributing to the continued development of our services, ways of working, and long-term direction.

Who we’re looking for

We’re looking for people who are energized not only by complex business challenges, but also by helping organizations improve the way they work. You’re comfortable stepping into ambiguity, providing direction when it’s needed, and helping teams regain momentum when progress stalls.

This role comes with a high level of ownership, so you should be comfortable taking responsibility. You’ll often work independently with clients while collaborating closely with both client teams and Vasco colleagues. Navigating different organizational levels and balancing competing priorities is something you’re used to, and you know how to keep moving toward results even when circumstances continue to evolve.

If this role is right for you, you’ll probably recognize yourself in the following:

• You have extensive experience leading complex transformation or performance improvement programs involving multiple projects, departments, and stakeholder groups.
• You can demonstrate a robust level of analytical thinking and problem-solving. 
• You communicate effectively and confidently in both Dutch and English.
• You feel comfortable in an organization that is still evolving and growing.
• You know how to build trust with clients and align the interests of different stakeholders.
• You can move quickly between analysis, advisory work, and execution.
• You take an entrepreneurial approach and assume ownership of results, progress, and collaboration.
• You naturally coach colleagues and share knowledge with others.
• You have a strong commercial awareness and actively contribute to shaping Vasco’s services, growth, and future direction.

Ready to lead meaningful change?

This role is for someone who wants to do more than lead projects. It's for someone who wants to help organizations navigate complex change, build lasting client relationships, develop people, and contribute to the growth of a consulting firm that's still evolving.

If that sounds like the kind of challenge you're looking for, we'd love to hear from you.
