Requirements

What we're looking for

You have a completed HBO bachelor's degree.
You have at least 10 years of experience as a strategic financial advisor or in a comparable financial-strategic advisory role.
You have at least 5 years of experience within a municipal organization.
You have demonstrable experience in developing and delivering a Multi-Year Investment Plan (MIP).

Nice to have

You have experience in developing financial instruments.
You have extensive knowledge of and experience with municipal finances.
You have experience with financial issues within the physical domain, such as area development, housing construction, or infrastructure.
You have worked within a growing municipality with more than 100,000 inhabitants.
You have experience advising boards, directors, and senior management.

The role

We are looking for a Senior Financial Strategic Advisor for the Municipality of Zwolle. Within the Corporate Staff department, you will work on a strategic and impactful task: developing an integrated Multi-Year Investment Plan (MIP) with a ten-year horizon and an associated financial management framework.

In the coming years, the municipality faces major investments in the areas of housing construction, area development, educational facilities, and infrastructure. At the same time, financial scarcity, limited implementation capacity, and grid congestion demand sharp choices and integrated considerations. In this assignment, you will ensure a future-proof financial approach that provides insight into investments, risks, financial consequences, and priorities within the municipal investment portfolio.

This interim assignment is interesting for an experienced strategic financial advisor with extensive experience within municipal organizations, financial management, and investment issues in the physical domain.

What you'll do

You will develop and implement an integrated Multi-Year Investment Plan (MIP) with a duration of ten years.
You will develop a financial management framework for municipal investments, including financial principles and decision-making criteria.
You will develop a methodology for the integrated prioritization of investment projects based on financial, administrative, and organizational factors.
You will advise on the alignment of the MIP and the management framework with the planning and control cycle (P&C cycle).
You will manage the implementation, transfer, and documentation so that the organization can work independently with the developed instruments.

Competencies

You possess excellent communication skills, both oral and written.
You have a sense of political-administrative relations and stakeholders.
You are decisive, result-oriented, and bring complex tasks to a concrete end result.
You work independently and actively seek collaboration at the right moment.
