What will you do?

The project manager is the glue that keeps it together and moving. You are there from start to finish, being responsible for planning, organizing and overseeing projects from business case to completion. You define project objectives, scope, and requirements, creating detailed project plans and schedules. You allocate and manage team members and other resources, track budgets, and monitor progress to ensure projects stay on time and within budget.

• Proven track record in stakeholder and change management
• Outstanding problem solving and negotiating skills, keeping a helicopter view at any phase

• You're able to spot opportunities at clients and recruit from your network
• We empower consultants to be involved in the company's internal working, such as pre-sales activities, recruitment, coaching colleagues, acting as SPOC for a client or organizing training. And time will be foreseen for this.
• Being or willing to become the go-to person for specific sectors and/or domains
• You're a strong and empathic communicator
