Consulting Manager @ On IT
AMV04506
Function
As Consulting Manager, you are the driving and coordinating force behind the successful delivery of digital planning projects (Visual Planning) for On IT's SME clients. You combine a strong functional process vision with an overarching, strategic helicopter view to safeguard the professionalism and efficiency of project execution. Your primary focus lies in overseeing and structuring the entire project portfolio. You ensure that projects are delivered profitability, with high quality, and within the agreed scope and timeline, serving as the central escalation point and guardian of project profitability.
In this role, you manage projects not only organizationally, but also ensure that functional and process-oriented translations into the Visual Planning software run optimally. Thanks to a deep background in business processes—preferably within a logistics, production, or manufacturing environment—you speak the client's language and provide content-level guidance to the team where necessary. Although you thoroughly understand operational client challenges and actively help build the foundations of major trajectories, your added value lies in overseeing the big picture, proactively managing resources and schedules, and acting as an assertive sparring partner to key stakeholders.
As a born facilitator, you take on daily leadership and mentorship of the team. You apply a supportive leadership style: you are not a traditional 'boss', but coach and support the team to bring complex analyses and configurations to a successful conclusion. You introduce structure, set clear KPIs for project tracking, and foster a culture of knowledge sharing. In doing so, you build the operational and organizational foundation to professionalize the division sustainably and prepare it for further ambitious growth across the Benelux.
