About the role

An intrapreneurial role with real ownership

As a Business Developer or Business Manager, you step into a true intrapreneurial role — running your own business within a dynamic consulting environment.

Driving business & building client partnerships

You develop and manage your own client portfolio, combining business development, account management and long-term relationship building. You engage directly with clients to understand their challenges and translate them into concrete consulting solutions.

Leading and developing consultants

You play a key role in supporting your consultants throughout their journey — from client introduction to ongoing follow-up, including quarterly reviews and annual evaluations. Your objective: ensure both their development and the success of ongoing projects.

Acting at the crossroads of business and talent

You work closely with Talent Acquisition, defining needs, contributing to candidate selection and preparing consultants for client interactions.

Managing performance and growth

You run your activity with a strong business mindset, monitoring KPIs, performance and profitability, and ensuring the continuity and quality of your projects. This is a role offering impact, autonomy and clear responsibility, within an entrepreneurial and people-driven environment.

Your profile

• You bring solid commercial acumen and thrive in client-facing environments. You enjoy developing business, building relationships and identifying opportunities.
• You have 2 - 4 years of experience in consultancy, staffing or a comparable client-driven context, where business development and delivery go hand in hand.
• You work independently, take ownership of your results and easily navigate between clients, candidates and internal stakeholders. You are solution-oriented and able to adapt quickly to changing priorities.
• You hold at least a bachelor’s degree and are fluent in French or Dutch and English.
• You feel at home in a dynamic, fast-paced environment, where autonomy, proximity to the business and team interaction are key. You enjoy being present, collaborating and operating close to the action.
