The role

The Netherlands faces major societal challenges. This requires public and semi-public organizations that are agile, effective, and future-proof. We help, among others, ministries and executive organizations to realize large-scale changes, from making sharp choices to organizing execution and bringing the organization along. 

Transformation Enablement is a fast-growing and ambitious part of the People & Transformation team within KPMG Advisory. We work on complex changes where a good plan alone is not enough. It is about making clear choices, getting people moving, and ensuring plans actually become reality. 

As Senior Manager Transformation Enablement, you provide direction to the most complex programs and serve as a strong interlocutor for boards and executive management. You help clients reduce complex issues to their core, bring different interests together, and ensure that decisions are made that are also executable. You maintain an overview when many things are happening at once and know when to accelerate, adjust course, or create space to move forward. 

For example, you will work on large-scale restructuring and recovery programs, strategic implementation programs, and deal-related transformations. Often, these involve situations where pressure is high, multiple parties are involved, and decisions have a major impact. Precisely when the route is not yet fixed, you help to determine the course and get the organization moving.  

“You work on transformations that matter – often under high pressure, but that is exactly what makes the work so meaningful. The combination of substantive expertise and the ability to provide direction, even when the route is not yet fully mapped out, makes every assignment challenging AND inspiring.”

  • Guido, Partner People & Transformation

Within People & Transformation, you work in one integrated team, which includes four Communities of Practice: Organizational Change Management, Technology Change Management, Transformation Enablement, and Culture & Strategy Alignment. We bring these different expertises together not only to design changes well, but also to make them actually work in practice. 

As a Senior Manager, you also have an important role in the further growth of Transformation Enablement. You build sustainable relationships with clients, recognize new challenges, and translate these into concrete assignments and approaches together with colleagues. You also contribute to the development of our field, share knowledge, and coach colleagues in their professional development. You build sustainable relationships with clients, see where new challenges arise, and advance them together with colleagues. 

The team is characterized by energy, craftsmanship, and the ambition to achieve results together. We consciously look at everyone's qualities and ambitions and offer plenty of room to take initiative. You work hybrid: at the client, at our office in Amstelveen, and from home.

What you'll do

  • Leading large-scale and administratively complex transformation programs and ensuring direction, cohesion, and results, even when interests and priorities diverge. 
  • Advising boards and executive management on complex choices and helping them translate ambitions into an approach that works in practice. 
  • Providing direction when the solution is not yet fixed, quickly getting to the core, and ensuring that decision-making leads to concrete movement. 
  • Bringing people and interests together, both within and outside the organization, and creating the conditions for collaboration, ownership, and progress. 
  • Contributing to the growth of Transformation Enablement by further developing our approach, creating opportunities with existing and new clients, strengthening our position, and increasing visibility in the market.
