Change strategy by getting leaders and teams moving
A strategy is only worth something if leaders and teams are able to deliver it. As a Leadership & Team Development Consultant, you work on strategic leadership and team challenges for national and international organisations. For example, you help think through how an organisation can change behaviour to realise its strategy. About what it takes to turn a group of experienced leaders into a true top team. Or about how to design a leadership programme that not only inspires senior leaders, but actually gets them to act differently.
In doing so, we combine substantive depth with exceptional experiences. No standard programmes or off-the-shelf interventions, but an approach that fits the organisation, the people and the movement that is needed. You analyse the challenge, help build the content and, together with the project team, ensure that ideas actually come to life.
What will you do?
As a Leadership & Team Development Consultant, you are an important link within our projects. You work closely with lead partners and senior consultants, coach junior colleagues where appropriate, and collaborate well with the project assistants who help make sure the project is right down to the details. You:
-
analyse complex questions about leadership, behaviour, collaboration and organisational change;
-
translate insights into a clear storyline, vision and suitable change approach;
-
design leadership programmes, team interventions and other development trajectories;
-
keep an overview of the project, look ahead, and help the team bring together content, process and execution;
-
have direct contact with the client and translate conversations and new insights into concrete next steps;
-
work with lead partners, senior consultants, junior consultants and project assistants towards a result that is substantively strong and exceptionally executed;
-
contribute to the development of our expertise, for example by exploring and applying new knowledge, creative working methods and relevant AI applications.
Who are you?
You are passionate about strategic change challenges surrounding leadership and team development. You want to understand what is truly needed to get leaders, teams and organisations moving, and you won't settle for a superficial or standard solution. You combine several qualities:
-
You are analytically strong and substantively driven. You fathom complex challenges, make connections and build a clear storyline.
-
You keep an overview and roll up your sleeves. You think ahead, organise what is needed, and ensure good ideas are also well executed.
-
You think creatively. You look for forms that move people, surprise them and help them actually show different behaviour.
-
You enjoy working together. You know how to connect different roles and perspectives within a project team and communicate clearly with colleagues and clients.
-
You are curious and development-oriented. You want to keep growing in your profession, as a consultant and as a person.
In addition:
-
you have 3 to 6 years of relevant advisory experience in leadership, team development and/or organisational change;
-
you have completed a research university bachelor's and master's degree;
-
you recognise yourself in our core values of authenticity, intensity, friendship and playfulness, and you get enthusiastic about an environment in which those values also guide your further development.
Keep growing. Change the future. At &samhoud you get the space to sink your teeth into complex strategic challenges and to keep developing yourself. We are a niche boutique, so you work directly with experienced lead partners and senior consultants and are close to the content, the client and decision-making. That combination of challenging work, learning from experienced colleagues and personal development is also an important part of our work.
We are very driven in our work and like to do things a little differently. We combine substantive sharpness with creativity, take our profession seriously without always taking ourselves too seriously, and deliberately look for ways to surprise clients. You can also see this in our core values: authenticity, intensity, friendship and playfulness.
You get plenty of room to grow, including through coaching, intervision, learning days, skills training and courses. At the same time, we find it important that there is room for a life outside work. You work flexibly at the client's site, at home, or from our offices in Utrecht, Amsterdam and Rotterdam, and you receive a competitive compensation package, healthy lunches and opportunities for a sabbatical.
Does this fit your next step? Then send us your CV. After you apply, you will receive an invitation to a game assessment that examines, among other things, your problem-solving ability and cognitive flexibility. We will also ask some questions about your motivation for &samhoud and this role. In the application procedure, we will then take your CV and the results of the assessment into account.
We know that people sometimes only apply when they meet every criterion. We believe that a unique story can be worth just as much as a list of job requirements. Are you unsure whether you meet everything, but you recognise yourself in this role? Then we would also love to hear from you.
