Vacancy senior consultant

Have you built solid experience in consulting or project-based roles, working in environments where multiple priorities compete for attention and where things are constantly shifting?

Are you starting to feel frustrated by situations where you can clearly see how something could be done better, but don’t have the space or mandate to actually change it?

If you're looking for more autonomy, more influence, and more freedom to shape how work gets done, Vasco might be the right next step.

At Vasco, we don’t believe in a single fixed methodology that gets applied everywhere. Every challenge comes with its own context, dynamics, and stakeholders. That means you continuously adapt your approach and decide what’s needed to move things forward in each situation.

We expect you to take real ownership of how you structure your work and the decisions you make along the way. This goes beyond execution. You help shape the direction of projects, the way we collaborate with clients, and the overall approach we take to solving problems. The same level of ownership applies to your own development: you decide where you want to grow and how you want to get there.

Because we’re still building and shaping Vasco as a firm, you’ll also have the opportunity to influence how we evolve our services, how we run projects, and how we work as a team.

Not everything is fully defined, not everything runs perfectly yet, and we don’t pretend to have all the answers. That’s exactly why we’re looking for people who are energized by that stage of growth. People who want to help shape what comes next.

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 (€4,500 to €6,200 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 senior consultant at Vasco, you’ll work at the heart of complex client environments where problems are rarely neatly defined or clearly scoped. You’ll lead advisory engagements that often cut across multiple layers of an organization: strategy, operations, and execution. That means you’re not just designing solutions, but making sure they actually work in practice, to deliver real results.

You’ll constantly move between different levels of the organization. At one moment, you’re a trusted advisor for senior stakeholders on strategic and content-driven topics. At the next, you’re enabling your team to deliver high-quality work on the ground. You keep an overview of the bigger picture, bring structure to complexity, and ensure progress continues. 

At the same time, you play a key role in developing others. You coach and mentor junior consultants in their day-to-day work, help them grow in their roles, and actively contribute to raising the overall level of capability and quality within the team.

Beyond individual projects, you look for what comes next. You build strong client relationships, identify emerging needs, and translate those into follow-on work or new opportunities. In doing so, you directly contribute to Vasco’s growth. Not as a separate responsibility, but as a natural part of your work.

In this role, you will:

• Take end-to-end ownership of complex client engagements, from strategy and advisory through to implementation. 
• Design and implement solutions that improve processes and drive measurable outcomes. 
• Maintain oversight and direction in fast-moving, complex client environments. 
• Coach and support junior consultants in their professional development. 
• Help develop the team by sharing knowledge and raising the overall level of expertise across Vasco.
• Identify commercial opportunities with clients and convert them into follow-on engagements. 
• Build and maintain long-term client relationships. 
• Actively contribute to the continued development of Vasco Consult.

Who we’re looking for

We’re looking for consultants who don’t just know how to run projects, but who can also sense what it takes to actually move them forward. You naturally take ownership, even when things aren’t fully defined yet.

You switch easily between client conversations, content, and team dynamics, and you’re often a step ahead in anticipating what’s needed next. Your communication is sharp and clear, and you know how to bring people along, even when perspectives or interests differ.

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

• You have a fair bit of experience in leading change or improvement initiatives within complex organizations. 
• You can demonstrate a robust level of analytical thinking and problem-solving. 
• You feel comfortable operating in fast-moving, dynamic environments. 
• You communicate effectively and confidently at every level of an organization, in both Dutch and English. 
• You are skilled at building and maintaining strong professional relationships. 
• You have experience coaching or mentoring colleagues. 
• You’re just as comfortable thinking things through as you are getting things done.

Are you the senior consultant we’re looking for?

This role is for someone who doesn’t just want to contribute to outcomes, but also wants to shape how those outcomes are achieved. Someone who doesn’t wait for responsibility to be assigned, but naturally steps up and takes it. And who thrives in environments that are still being built.

If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you. Apply via the form, or reach out directly to Kim de Groot at kim@vasco-consult.com or 0627262504.
