Senior Project Management Consultant

M.S. Management Services; Kortenberg; Hybride; EUR 90 000 - 130 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

HazelHeartwood, with a Belgian HQ in Kortenberg, seeks a Senior Project Management Consultant to own fixed-price engagements from discovery to delivery. You will lead in-demand, client-facing projects in the AI & data space, operating in small, agile teams, and ensuring scope discipline and clear stakeholder communication.

The role emphasizes hands-on delivery, practical business modeling, and the ability to draft watertight SOWs while protecting client relationships.

Qualifications

• You've managed fixed-price projects end to end: discovery, scoping, SOW drafting, delivery tracking, project audits, change requests.
• You come from a consulting background (Big 4, Accenture, or similar).
• You can run a steering committee and a sprint planning session on the same day and feel at home in both.
• You understand that transformation is fundamentally human. Technology is the enabler, never the driver.
• You communicate clearly - with clients, with developers, with executives. No jargon, no fluff, just clarity.
• You're here for the client first, HazelHeartwood second, and for your own CV last.
• Experience with AI & data projects is a real plus.
• Industry experience is a real plus.
• You have at least 10 years of consulting experience, with a meaningful part of that in a consulting or professional services environment.
• You're based in Belgium, work from our Kortenberg office, and are fluent in Ducth and English. French is a strong asset. You are flexible to visit client offices and our Romanian and Spanish offices when needed.

Responsabilités

• You’ll work in small, agile teams on projects that are mostly in the AI & data space.
• You don't need to be a data scientist, but you need to be comfortable enough to ask the right questions and know when something smells off.
• The teams are small. There''s nowhere to hide, and no junior to hand things off to.
• You’ll be in the trenches with your team handling both project management tasks and supporting where needed to make impact for your client.

Description du poste

To support the team of Hazelheartwood with Belgian HQ in Kortenberg (near Brussels), we are looking for Senior Project Management Consultants with relevant experience.

About HazelHeartwood

HazelHeartwood works on medium to large-scale digital transformation projects — from vision all the way through to execution. We have proven expertise in Master Data Management, Data Analytics, Customer & Employee Engagement, and Agentic AI. We help clients dream realistically: define where they want to go, design the roadmap to get there, and then actually make it happen.

We lead the market in the automotive industry, but our clients come from all sectors. Our home base is Kortenberg, Belgium, with a team of around 100 people spread across Belgium, Bucharest and Madrid.

We're a team that came together from all over the world - creative, curious, and always challenging the status quo. Our values are simplicity, deep thinking, mutual trust and respect and social responsability. We focus on using technology to make a direct business impact, helping our clients' bottom line and their long-term sustainability. We also believe companies have a responsibility beyond their own P&L, which is why giving back to society is one of our goals.

About the role

Here's the honest pitch: most project managers at consulting firms are glorified status-update machines. That's not what we need.

We need someone with solid consulting experience who takes full ownership of a fixed-price engagement, from the first discovery conversation to the final delivery. A craftsman or –woman who quickly grasps the underlying business model of the client in specific industries. Someone who doesn’t create complexity, but reduces the customers challenge to what is really important. Someone who can draft a watertight SOW, spot scope creep before it becomes a problem, and handle a change request conversation without losing the client relationship. Someone who has done this before in a consulting company where fixed-price delivery is not a theory but a daily reality.

You’ll work in small, agile teams on projects that are mostly in the AI & data space. You don't need to be a data scientist, but you need to be comfortable enough to ask the right questions and know when something smells off. The teams are small. There's nowhere to hide, and no junior to hand things off to. You’ll be in the trenches with your team handling both project management tasks and supporting where needed to make impact for your client.

About you

• You've managed fixed-price projects end to end: discovery, scoping, SOW drafting, delivery tracking, project audits, change requests - the full picture. Not in theory. In practice.
• You come from a consulting background (Big 4, Accenture, or similar). You know how professional services delivery works, what a client expects, and how to protect scope without starting a war.
• You can run a steering committee and a sprint planning session on the same day and feel at home in both.
• You understand that transformation is fundamentally human. Technology is the enabler, never the driver.
• You communicate clearly - with clients, with developers, with executives. No jargon, no fluff, just clarity.
• You're here for the client first, HazelHeartwood second, and for your own CV last.
• Experience with AI & data projects is a real plus.
• Industry experience is a real plus.
• You have at least 10 years of consulting experience, with a meaningful part of that in a consulting or professional services environment.
• You're based in Belgium, work from our Kortenberg office, and are fluent in Ducth and English. French is a strong asset. You are flexible to visit client offices and our Romanian and Spanish offices when needed.

What you can expect from us

• A flexible hybrid working week - because only you can best assess how you deliver value to the client.
• An open and transparent culture, with real room to grow and make an impact. No politics. No layers.
• A group of sharp colleagues who will challenge you every day with one goal: to make each other successful.

What you can’t expect from us

• That we think for you. You're experienced and sharp; we hire you to think with us, not to follow a script.
• That we have predefined answers. What works today won't work tomorrow. We adapt, and we expect you to as well.
• Managers who tell you what to do, when to take a holiday, or how long to stay in the office. We work as a team and adhere to the highest HazelHeartwood standards.

People are at the center of everything we do. We take decisions from a human and common-sense perspective. We're a diverse team with different backgrounds, skills and perspectives but we all share the same drive to help organisations in the best possible way.

Do you have the right DNA to join us?

We are looking forward to your application.
