Job Description

We are living in an era of unprecedented digital disruption. Organisations across every sector face the challenge of reinventing themselves to stay relevant and competitive. At PA Consulting, we don’t just design strategies - we make transformation happen. 

As a Change Consultant, you will play a pivotal role in turning ambitious digital visions into reality. This is not about incremental change; it’s about reshaping behaviours, embedding new ways of working, and creating cultures that thrive in a digital-first world. You will work at the intersection of Executive Committees and delivery teams, ensuring alignment between strategic intent and operational execution. 

You won’t do this alone. You’ll be part of a high-performing team of consultants, collaborating, sharing insights, and learning from each other to deliver lasting impact for our clients. Together, we help organisations embrace agility, unlock innovation, and achieve enduring results. 

What you can expect   

  • The opportunity to work on impactful projects alongside talented and passionate colleagues 
  • Thrive in a culture of learning and growth that prioritizes your development, and where trust, learning, and shared success are at the core. 
  • A modern, centrally located office in Utrecht, designed for collaboration and comfort, with flexible and hybrid working options 
  • A dedicated buddy to help you navigate PA and feel at home from day one 
  • Access to a wide range of internal and external training programmes to support your growth 
  • An environment that deeply cares about its values.  

Qualifications

Essential requirements 

We’re seeking a strategic and results-driven professional who can seamlessly combine big-picture thinking with hands-on execution. You will excel at influencing senior executives and building strong relationships, while fostering collaboration within a consulting environment. The ideal candidate is a credible leader with exceptional stakeholder management skills, capable of bridging strategic vision and operational delivery. You thrive in complex digital transformation programmes and bring adaptability, resilience, and a passion for driving meaningful change. 

We expect you have experience in: 

  • Successfully delivering complex digital transformation programmes, ideally large-scale ERP or major IT implementations. 
  • Translating operating model and system changes into actionable change delivery plans (e.g., communication strategy, impact analysis, stakeholder engagement, training plans). 
  • Building executive-level credibility and managing stakeholders effectively. 
  • Applying change management methodologies and designing impactful interventions. 
  • Leading organisational change and digital transformation initiatives with measurable outcomes. 
  • Working with Agile methodologies and cultural change frameworks. 
  • Leveraging a strong academic foundation (e.g., MSc/MBA) with analytical and planning expertise. 
  • Operating across multiple geographies and sectors with ease. 
  • Holding preferred certifications such as Prosci, ADKAR, or similar. 

Please note: Full professional proficiency in Dutch is mandatory for this role.

Experience: 4–10 years in change management and transformation leadership.
