Payments Consultant

You have completed a relevant HBO or WO degree and have approximately three to six years of relevant work experience within Payments, consultancy, financial services, or a comparable environment.

You know the payment chain and have built up demonstrable knowledge and experience within multiple Payments topics. For example, think of:

We do not expect you to be a specialist in all these topics. We find it more important that you have real substantive depth within a number of areas and can place developments within Payments in a broader context.

Additionally, you have experience with, for example, project management, business analysis, process optimization, change management, or implementation trajectories. You can independently analyze an issue, bring structure, and translate your expertise into a solution that works for the client.

You collaborate easily with various stakeholders, take responsibility for your own work, and dare to take initiative. You are curious about developments within Payments and find it natural to share your knowledge with colleagues as well.

You have excellent command of both Dutch and English, both spoken and written.

· A salary between €4,500 and €8,500 gross per month, depending on your experience and professional maturity, plus a good pension scheme.

· A variable reward opportunity of 1–4%, matching your professional maturity level and the applicable scheme.

· The choice between a lease car or a mobility scheme with NS Business Card, matching your salary category.

· Much trust, responsibility, and little unnecessary hierarchy: you get the space to give direction to your own work and development.

· An annual personal training budget of €5,000, supplemented with internal and external training and our Academy.

· An IT budget of €2,000 for your business laptop, phone, and other IT necessities.

· Plenty of opportunities to further develop yourself substantively within Payments and to grow through our Professional Development Framework.

· Many social activities and events from our Culture & Community Pillars.

· A healthy work-life balance, with a hybrid mix of working at the client, from home, and at our office in Amsterdam.

Do you have experience within Payments and want to apply your knowledge to complex issues at banks, financial institutions, and other players in the payment landscape?

As a Medior Payments Consultant at Projective Group, you help clients improve and innovate their payment processes, products, and services. You analyze complex issues, advise on solutions, and help clients to actually realize changes.

You will receive a great deal of autonomy within your assignments and work together with colleagues and client teams with various expertises. In addition, we look not only at what you already know about Payments today, but also at how you want to further develop your expertise and what contribution you want to make to our clients and the Practice.
