Consultant Strategy Execution & Implementation

Would you like to turn strategy into measurable, lasting change at ABN AMRO? Strategy Execution & Implementation (SE&I) is our Centre of Expertise for Change. As Junior Consultant (Hay 9) you will be part of the Consultancy Pool, you bring structure and momentum to strategic initiatives by leading workstreams and smaller projects with greater independence. Together, we make strategy work.

As a Consultant, you deliver workstreams and smaller projects under the guidance of a senior colleague. You keep track of planning, risks and deliverables, and you take ownership of progress, time and scope. You combine structured analysis with effective stakeholder engagement.

• Lead smaller projects, or serve as workstream lead or PMO on larger, highly complex programs.
• Turn complex project information into clear plans, proposals and progress reports.
• Ask critical questions and constructively challenge existing ways of working.
• Monitor planning, risks, dependencies and deliverables.
• Co-create project and implementation plans and align stakeholders around them.
• Create compelling analyses, presentations and project documentation.
• Plan and facilitate workshops, manage group dynamics and translate outcomes into actions.
• Spot opportunities to improve processes and project approaches.
• Set priorities across multiple projects while maintaining quality and a sustainable workload.
• Contribute to process improvements and digital change initiatives, translating business and project needs into workable solutions.
• Ask for feedback, contribute to the Consultancy Pool and wider SE&I community, and set a positive example for other (more) junior colleagues.

You will join the Consultancy Pool within SE&I: ABN AMRO's change force and a central foundation for executing complex change. SE&I consists of 5 Expertise consulting teams, Change Excellence, and the Consultancy Pool. Consultants are deployed flexibly across strategic and high-priority change assignments throughout the bank. We combine broad knowledge of ABN AMRO with strong execution skills, helping teams challenge ideas, accelerate progress and embed change that delivers measurable, lasting impact while reducing reliance on external consultancy.

We help you become an all-round consultant through training, project coaching and collaboration with SE&I expertise teams. At Hay 9, you take greater ownership of your development and further strengthen your project, analytical and communication skills. You will work in a safe, inclusive environment where you can grow and be yourself. Your home base is Amsterdam. Hybrid working is possible, depending on your assignment and team agreements.

You are analytical, proactive and focused on results. You communicate clearly and take responsibility for quality. You are ready to own a workstream or smaller project, balance several priorities and bring stakeholders together. You welcome feedback and actively invest in your development.

You also bring:

• A university-level education or equivalent level of working and thinking.
• Typically two or more years of relevant experience in consultancy, project management, PMO or a comparable change environment.
• The ability to analyse information and summarise findings clearly.
• Strong PowerPoint and Excel skills for presentations, analysis and reporting.
• The ability to prepare and facilitate workshops and turn outcomes into actions.
• Strong prioritisation and time-management skills across multiple projects.
• Confident use of approved generative AI tools to analyse and structure information, develop drafts and prepare project work, while validating outputs and protecting sensitive data in line with ABN AMRO policies.
• A collaborative mindset, taking initiative and working effectively with others.
• Professional proficiency in English; Dutch is a strong advantage.
• An interest in consultancy, project management and organisational change.

Take the next step in your consultancy career through meaningful assignments across ABN AMRO. You will lead workstreams and smaller projects while building experience across several assignments. Experienced colleagues will support your development.
