Senior Manager – Customer Strategy (Financial Services Consulting)

An international Strategy Consulting platform is expanding its Customer Strategy practice within Financial Services in the Netherlands.

We are hiring at Manager and Senior Manager level and are looking for experienced strategy consultants with Financial Services expertise to help lead high-impact engagements across Banking and Insurance.

About the Role

• Customer Strategy in Banking and Insurance
• Sales and Service transformation
• Commercial and Go-to-Market strategy

This role sits at the intersection of Strategy and Transformation.

Unlike pure advisory roles, you will design strategy and work closely with transformation and technology teams to bring it to life.

The immediate priority is strong project delivery leadership, with increasing exposure to client development and commercial growth.

Key Responsibilities

We are keen to speak with professionals who bring:

• 6–10+ years of experience in Strategy Consulting or Management Consulting
• Demonstrated exposure to Financial Services (Banking, Insurance or Payments)
• Experience across Customer Strategy, Commercial Strategy, Sales, Service or Marketing transformation
• Strong analytical capability and structured problem solving
• Proven leadership at Manager or Senior Manager level
• Fluency in English; Dutch language proficiency is strongly preferred

We welcome applications from:

• Big 4 Strategy & Consulting teams
• Tier-1 Strategy firms
• Financial Services-focused consultancies
• High-performing Managers ready to step into Senior Manager scope

Why Consider This Opportunity?

• Work on high-impact Financial Services transformation programmes
• Blend Strategy Consulting with execution capability
• Clear pathway toward Director level
• International platform with strong local leadership
• Exposure to Banking and Insurance leaders in the Dutch market

Location & Flexibility

Based in Amsterdam with hybrid working arrangements.

Client travel within the Netherlands may be required.

If you are a Financial Services strategy consultant seeking broader exposure, increased responsibility and meaningful impact, we would welcome a confidential conversation.
