We believe that companies can combine profit and growth with a positive contribution to society. Do you?

We are looking for experienced Managers and Senior Managers who want to make an impact on the most pressing sustainability challenges of our time. We seek colleagues who help clients turn their ambitions into reality and who are energized by both delivering project results and contributing to the continued growth and development of Been. As a boutique consultancy, Been combines strategic expertise with a pragmatic and people-centered approach. Our clients describe us as “thinkers who do.” Our goal is always the same: to increase the positive impact of our clients and accelerate the energy, water, and food transitions.

What are we looking for?

• Professionals who combine subject matter expertise with entrepreneurship and leadership;
• A completed Master's degree (university level);

• Experience in business development and creating compelling client propositions;
• Experience in leading projects and a genuine motivation to coach and develop others;
• Excellent consulting and AI skills, with strong proficiency in both Dutch and English.

What's on offer

• Working on our client projects gives you something in return that cannot be expressed in money: the feeling that you are contributing to a better world.
• Good salary and bonus based on (team) performance;
• 25 vacation days + option to use holidays flexibly;
• Hybrid working: working together at the client or at our office and from home;
• Budget and time for personal & professional development;
• Opportunities to broaden your consulting experience and develop your entrepreneurial skills;
• Sustainable mobility plan, laptop, phone;
• Fun Friday afternoon meetings, outings and sport activities;

What will you be doing?

As a Manager or Senior Manager you advise and support organizations that play a crucial role in the energy, water, and food transitions. You work at the intersection of strategy, transformation, and implementation, helping clients address complex challenges that contribute to future-proof systems. You are responsible for the successful delivery of projects and programs, from translating client needs into proposals to achieving impactful results. You lead project teams and support consultants in their professional development. In addition, you identify business opportunities, engage in commercial discussions, and turn opportunities into new projects. You build and strengthen client relationships, share your expertise, and help further develop our propositions to enhance our thought leadership. As a Manager or Senior Manager you contribute to the development of Been and, above all, to your own growth as both a professional and a person.
