Senior Consultant Amsterdam Office Oxford HR Amsterdam office is now looking for a senior consultant. You will be responsible for further developing our portfolio and have a strong affinity with one or more of the practice areas. If you are interested in impact driven organisations that are committed to positive change, and like the sound of working in a supportive and nurturing environment where your expertise and opinion is sought after and valued, then this might be the place for you. Essentially, we are looking for people a lot like us, who share the same core values that we do. People who are rooted in the sector, often with technical expertise in recruitment, OD, HR or related professional services backgrounds. We’re very service oriented and avoid prescriptive approaches. We like to focus, instead, on developing bespoke solutions for our clients and helping them to solve what can often be very complex and challenging organisational effectiveness and recruitment problems. We look for aspiring or actual leaders in their field. We do a significant amount of work on gender and diversity areas so if you’re from underrepresented groups we are particularly keen to hear from you. The role is based in NL with flexibility but 1 or 2 days a week from the office in Amsterdam preferred. You will work with a very diverse group of for purpose organizations, from UN to private foundations, impact consultancies and development organisations. You will/can start as an associate (also part time) and/or as staff member.
