Do you have experience or an interest in Transformation Consultancy?
Would you like to deliver projects within in the Financial Services industry?
Company background and role information
We are Projective, a specialist independent consultancy focused on implementing change & transformation in the financial sector. We work with our clients to build and adopt new business models that have a positive, lasting impact for the company and on society at large.
Imagine yourself in a role where you can guide clients to understand and lift their roadblocks for qualitative project delivery. You want to teach them the skills they need to be able to adapt quicker and implement change more effectively. In this role you will work together to define the business transformation need, assess current state and define a transformation approach. You’ll also test this approach using pilot implementations, and subsequently scale solutions based on results.
This is a great opportunity to join our enthusiastic and growing team whilst being immediately based in a client-facing role.
Sound good? Here’s more detail on what the responsibilities for this role include:
- Leading in transitioning and delivering a programme / project from traditional waterfall approaches e.g. PRINCE2 to agile methods;
- Consulting and coaching your client’s teams in their new way of working, specifically in transforming into agile delivery organizations;
- SME coaching to roles like Scrum Masters, Product Owners or Product Managers as well as the Leadership team;
- Performing maturity assessments and derive coaching plans from it;
- Developing an understanding of client’s strategic direction, issues and objectives to drive the appropriate roadmap for our clients;
- Driving consistency in operations, measuring progress against goals, preparing or facilitating client meetings and workshops, creating business updates/reviews, conducting quarterly and annual planning;
- Assisting in documenting, evaluating and translating business needs into technology options;
- Creating high quality presentations / reports to effectively communicate project findings;
- Supporting continuous improvement on processes, leadership and behaviour.
Experience and skills needed for this role:
- Good knowledge of Agile, DevOps, Lean,.. methodologies preferably backed by certification and hands-on delivery experience in these domains;
- Pragmatism is an important one. You want to think from your client need’s perspective, and be able to adopt existing frameworks based on this;
- For exactly the above reason, experience (or at least, a strong interest in) the financial services industry is helpful;
- Knowledge of the organisational IT landscape, ideally paired with experience in IT delivery projects;
- Good consultancy skills – meaning enthusiasm, persuasiveness, coaching, listening, clear and to-the-point communication;
- Fluency in English
- Fluency in French or Dutch
Ok, I’m interested, what can I expect?
- No micromanagement, no office politics, a clean flat structure. We don’t work with titles and our managing partners still do work at clients.
- Amazing benefits, incl. a company car, variable salary component, meal vouchers, an annual training budget and incredibly fun, surprising and memorable (informal) gatherings and events.
- Opportunities to develop new skills and progress your career in the direction you see fit.
- A hybrid mix of office and home-based working. There’s a bonus to coming to the office though: we have a very nice bar!
- We are a team of 150 consultants active in 5 European countries today (UK, NL, DE, FR & BE), with strong growth ambitions going forward. Next to that, we are part of ProjectiveGroup, forming a broader ecosystem together with Exellys, The Glue, Mastermind and DTSQUARED to be able to offer our clients the best possible solutions. The ProjectiveGroup story is only getting started and we believe it’s an exciting time to be part of this growing group of colleagues.
Ok, I’m sold, what happens next?
