As a Strategy Consultant Retail NL at Rabobank, you will apply your consultancy experience to complex strategic issues within Retail NL. You are accustomed to quickly structuring complex and sometimes unclear issues, performing analyses, and translating insights into concrete strategic advice.

You advise management, develop strategic scenarios, and bring together stakeholders with different interests and perspectives. In doing so, you combine qualitative and quantitative analyses with market developments.

Strategy Consultant Retail NL

As a Strategy Consultant, you work on issues that determine the course of Retail NL. You often start with a complex advisory question for which the answer is not yet certain.

With your consultancy experience, you know how to approach such an issue. You provide structure, formulate hypotheses, determine which analyses are needed, and develop various scenarios. You combine data and qualitative insights and translate these into clear and well-founded strategic advice.

In doing so, you also look at developments outside the bank. You investigate what changes in, for example, customer behavior, technology, competition, economy, and laws and regulations mean for Retail NL.

An important part of your work is stakeholder management. You bring together different perspectives and interests, ask sharp questions, and know how to involve management and other stakeholders in your analysis and recommendations.

• Structuring and analyzing complex strategic and consultancy issues.
• Developing and substantiating strategic scenarios and solution directions.
• Translating qualitative and quantitative analyses into concrete insights and recommendations.
• Advising management on strategic choices and their consequences.
• Translating external developments into opportunities and points of attention for Retail NL.
• Independently guiding strategic projects and workstreams.
• Bringing together stakeholders with different interests and perspectives.
• Translating complex insights into clear advice, decision documents, and persuasive presentations.

• 36 hours per week.
• You work together with approximately 5 colleagues within Strategy Retail NL.
• You work on issues that impact over 8 million private and business customers in the Netherlands.

Strategy is not something you do alone. Within Strategy Retail NL, you work together with colleagues and stakeholders from various disciplines and organizational departments.

You bring expertise and perspectives together to arrive at strategic solutions that are both analytically strong and practically applicable. In doing so, you are given the space to take independent responsibility and challenge colleagues with new insights and ideas.

For us, your development and that of society stand side by side. That is why we invest in you and work together toward a better world.

We summarize that in one sentence: at Rabobank, you work on yourself & the world around you at the same time.

You see this reflected in your own development budget, our hybrid working environment, and attention to a good work-life balance. You work on issues for our private and business customers and on developments that influence the future of the bank.

At Rabobank, we believe that we become stronger through people who complement each other. Differences in knowledge, experience, background, and perspective help us to develop better ideas and solutions.

We strive for teams in which there is room to be yourself and in which different perspectives contribute to better choices. That is why we are curious about who you are and what you bring to the table.

For this position, consultancy experience is an important selection criterion. We look not only at the number of years of experience, but especially at the consultancy issues you have worked on and your own role in them.

• You have experience in independently guiding strategic projects or workstreams.
• You have experience within a large and complex organization.
• You have knowledge of the banking or financial sector and developments in the areas of customer behavior, technology, competition, or laws and regulations.

For this vacancy, we do not ask for a cover letter. We are primarily curious about your consultancy experience and the way you approach complex issues.

Therefore, we ask you to answer three short questions when applying:

1. Can you give an example of a complex consultancy or strategic issue you have worked on?
What was the advisory question, what was your own role and contribution, and what was the result?

2. How do you approach a consultancy issue when there are different stakeholders, interests, and perspectives at play?
You may elaborate on your answer with a concrete example from your own experience.

3. In your opinion, what is currently the biggest challenge for the strategy of Rabobank Retail NL?
