Job description

Who we are

Oliver Wyman is a global management consulting firm. We work with clients through their most defining moments, combining deep industry knowledge, specialized expertise, and the power of perspective to help them adapt, grow, and thrive.

INNOPAY is a consultancy firm, part of Oliver Wyman, specializing in digital transactions. Since 2002, we have helped shape the digital transactions landscape, with roots in payment innovation — including co-creating iDEAL — and expertise that has expanded into digital identity and data sharing.

We work with clients across the strategic, product development, and operational spectrum of their businesses. This includes helping them develop new business models, consider the technology they deploy, and respond to evolving local and international regulation. From our offices in Amsterdam and Frankfurt, and together with Oliver Wyman, we serve organizations around the world and help shape their most transformative moments.

Joining INNOPAY means becoming part of a team focused on the commercial, regulatory, and technological developments shaping digital transactions — and translating those developments into practical solutions for clients.

What you will do

As a Manager at INNOPAY, you will support clients in their digital transformation and in developing open, data-driven business models. You will combine your expertise in relevant digital transactions topics and market knowledge with structured problem-solving and creativity to develop innovative and pragmatic solutions to client challenges.

You will take responsibility for coordinating and delivering client engagements while leading international project teams. You will also help strengthen INNOPAY’s expertise, propositions, and presence in the Netherlands.

You will:

• Lead international INNOPAY project teams, coordinating engagements and taking responsibility for high-quality delivery and client impact.
• Help clients address digital transformation challenges and develop open, data-driven business models.
• Apply your expertise in areas such as Open Finance, ecosystem-based business models, data strategy and data exchange, APIs, customer journeys, product and service innovation, payment processes and technology, and regulatory issues relating to data and payments.
• Frame complex client challenges, guide analysis and problem solving, and translate insights into innovative and pragmatic recommendations.
• Act as a day-to-day point of contact for clients, building trusted relationships and maintaining a strong focus on their objectives and needs.
• Lead and develop consultants, creating an inclusive and collaborative environment while helping team members build their capabilities.
• Share your expertise with INNOPAY colleagues and contribute to the development of new propositions and publications.
• Stay close to the latest commercial, regulatory, and technological developments relevant to digital transactions and bring those perspectives into client work.
• Take an active role in INNOPAY’s business development in the Netherlands, supporting client relationships and identifying opportunities to accelerate growth in the region.

Why join us?

You can be your best here.

At Oliver Wyman, you will find meaningful work, talented people, and a culture built on trust, support, and growth.

• Work at the heart of the digital transactions landscape, helping clients navigate changes in payments, digital identity, data sharing, and open, data-driven business models.

• Be part of teams that measure success not just by deliverables, but by the difference created together.

Develop as a leader

• Lead international INNOPAY project teams and take responsibility for delivering complex client engagements.
• Develop consultants through coaching, feedback, and day-to-day collaboration while continuing to strengthen your own leadership capabilities.

• Contribute your own perspectives through INNOPAY propositions and publications while learning from colleagues across INNOPAY and Oliver Wyman.
• Build a sustainable career supported by coaching, mentoring, and continuous professional development.
• You’ll have support around you as you grow, including a dedicated buddy, a career advisor, your talent manager, and communities that help you find your place.

• Enjoy competitive local benefits designed to support your well-being, development, and life outside of work.

Who can apply?
