Job description

Do you want to do work that matters, alongside supportive leaders who will help you grow faster than you ever thought possible? Are you a creative problem-solver who is energized by challenges? You’ve come to the right place.

Consultant - Orphoz

At Orphoz, we partner with top organizations to make real, lasting change. We specialize in executing large-scale transformations—whether it’s a restructuring, a turnaround, or a performance improvement. Think of us as combining McKinsey-level strategic insight with hands‑on execution. We don’t just advise; we close the gap between strategy and impact, ensuring changes stick and empower people.

As a Delivery Consultant, your role will be to turn strategy into action. You’ll translate organizational goals into clear initiatives, set measurable KPIs, and unlock value across performance areas like EBITDA, cash flow, and operational capabilities. You’ll redesign organizations by implementing new models and systems for lasting impact, and you’ll lead transformations, running Transformation Offices that deliver measurable outcomes. A big part of your role will be mobilizing people—engaging leaders, coaching teams, and building resilience. You’ll also collaborate closely with McKinsey experts, connecting strategy with execution to create tangible results.

You’ll be based in Brussels or Amsterdam, with flexibility to travel up to 80% of the time. Most of your work will be on‑site or hybrid from Monday to Thursday, with Fridays dedicated to firm development. You’ll be part of a small, trusted team of 3–5 colleagues, integrated with McKinsey partners, ensuring close collaboration and high‑impact results.

At Orphoz you’ll be part of a distinct practice focused on turning strategy into results. We stay with our clients until the impact is achieved, working alongside a global community of over 500 transformation professionals, including 250+ across 12 European countries in Orphoz. You’ll benefit from McKinsey’s rigorous standards combined with real‑world execution experience. The culture is collaborative, resilient, and results‑driven—perfect for those who thrive on challenge and continuous growth.

Your growth

Driving lasting impact and building long‑term capabilities with our clients is not easy work. You are the kind of person who thrives in a high performance/high reward culture - doing hard things, picking yourself up when you stumble, and having the resilience to try another way forward.

In return for your drive, determination, and curiosity, we'll provide the resources, mentorship, and opportunities you need to become a stronger leader faster than you ever thought possible. Your colleagues—at all levels—will invest deeply in your development, just as much as they invest in delivering exceptional results for clients. Every day, you'll receive apprenticeship, coaching, and exposure that will accelerate your growth in ways you won’t find anywhere else.

When you join us, you will have:

• Continuous learning: Our learning and apprenticeship culture, backed by structured programs, is all about helping you grow while creating an environment where feedback is clear, actionable, and focused on your development. The real magic happens when you take the input from others to heart and embrace the fast‑paced learning experience, owning your journey.
• A voice that matters: From day one, we value your ideas and contributions. You’ll make a tangible impact by offering innovative ideas and practical solutions, all while upholding our unwavering commitment to ethics and integrity.
• Global community: You’ll have the opportunity to learn from exceptional colleagues with diverse backgrounds and experiences.
• World‑class benefits: On top of a competitive salary (based on your location, experience, and skills), we provide a comprehensive benefits package to enable holistic well‑being for you and your family.

Your qualifications and skills

• Bachelor’s degree in business, engineering, or a similar field, backed by a strong academic record
• 1+ years of experience delivering transformation programs
• Experience in value‑creation areas like operating‑model redesign or procurement excellence is a plus, as are certifications such as Lean/Six Sigma or PMP/Agile.
• Sector experience in Financial Services, Manufacturing, Consumer, FMCG, or Transport & Logistics is also advantageous.
• Entrepreneurial, resilient, and proactive individuals who thrive under pressure
• Proficiency in Excel and PowerPoint
• Strong problem‑solving, analytical, and communication skills
• Fluency in Dutch (or Dutch and French) plus English - mandatory
