Senior Consultant Beleidsadvies & Onderzoek

As a Senior Consultant at Technopolis Group, you provide strategic advice and conduct policy research for national and international public sector clients. You will lead, execute, and develop research and consultancy projects in one or more of our thematic domains. These may include green transitions, innovation policy, digitalisation, the circular economy, health, higher education, or regional development. You can translate complex policy questions into smart research or consultancy approaches. You structure projects, monitor progress and quality, and coordinate well-crafted reports and recommendations. You’ll be given significant responsibility and autonomy, but you're never on your own: you’ll work closely with a passionate team in Amsterdam and colleagues from our other international offices. We are looking for a strong project manager with a sharp analytical mind. Thematic expertise is a plus, but experience in policy research and working with public sector clients is most important.

Are you the one we’re looking for?

• You have at least 5 years of relevant work experience, e.g., as a consultant, project leader, or policy advisor

• You have strong project management skills: results-driven, structured, and flexible

• You are analytical, curious, and enjoy making complex issues understandable

• You have an academic working and thinking level (Master’s or PhD)

• Experience with policy research (qualitative and/or quantitative) is a strong advantage

• You have experience working for or with (semi-)public organisations

• You are an excellent communicator in both Dutch and English, written and spoken

• You enjoy working in an international, hybrid work environment

• Experience in leading international projects is a plus

Discover the exciting opportunities awaiting you:

• Do you have experience leading and managing research and consultancy projects?

• Have you advised governments and public organisations based on independent research?

• Are you skilled in writing reports and policy advice in Dutch and/or English?

• Do you enjoy working on substantive issues in societal domains such as sustainability, innovation, or education?

• Have you contributed to proposal writing and acquisition processes?

• Are you capable of coaching junior colleagues and sharing knowledge within the organisation?

Then you might be the person we're looking for.

Why we are a good fit for you:

• We offer a collegial and open working atmosphere with lots of room for initiative 

• You get the chance to work on socially relevant projects

• We value personal development and offer opportunities for growth, thematic broadening, and international collaboration

• We offer flexible working hours and hybrid work options – we do ask that you work at least 2 days a week in the office to truly be part of our team

• Competitive salary + annual performance-based bonus

• 30 vacation days based on a 40-hour workweek

• Pension scheme, disability insurance, laptop and phone

• Travel allowance (1st class public transport outside Amsterdam)
