Senior Business Consultant

Transport companies are facing major changes. Digitalization, SaaS, data, integrations, automation and AI offer more and more opportunities. But technology alone solves nothing. It starts with understanding how a customer works, where processes get stuck, what change is needed and where real value can be added.

That is why we are looking for a Senior Business Consultant Transport for our location in Hoogeveen. Someone who does not start with our software, but with the customer's business.

What will you do?

You understand logistics processes, spot opportunities and get organizations moving.

How can transport organizations work smarter, more efficiently and be future-proof? As a Senior Business Consultant Transport, you help our customers take that step. You are a strategic discussion partner for planners, key users, IT, operations and management. You understand their processes and challenges and translate them into concrete improvements and smart solutions.

You look beyond technology alone. You investigate what an organization really needs and make sure improvements are not only conceived and implemented, but also truly embraced and applied.

What other tasks can you expect?

• Analyzing and optimizing transport and logistics processes.

• Leading workshops and advising customers on process improvement and digitalization.

• Translating customer needs into concrete requirements and solution directions.

• Advising on SaaS, integrations, data, automation and AI.

• Guiding change trajectories, from analysis and advice to implementation and adoption.

• Creating support and involving stakeholders at all levels.

• Identifying and developing commercial opportunities and contributing to demos, quotations and business cases.

• Translating market developments and customer needs into new applications, together with Product Owners and the business.

• Sharing knowledge and coaching fellow consultants.

More than just consultancy

We are not looking for a consultant who focuses exclusively on software or configurations. We are looking for someone who discovers the question behind the question, dares to challenge processes and helps customers really take steps forward.

You combine substantive expertise with commercial insight. Because you are close to the customer, you recognize opportunities for additional solutions and services. You know how to translate these into concrete added value for the customer and our organization.

Getting technology and people moving

You have an affinity with technology and follow developments in SaaS, APIs, data, automation and AI. You do not need to be a developer, but you know how to translate technological possibilities into practical applications.

At the same time, you understand that successful change begins with people. You recognize different interests, make resistance open for discussion and know how to bring organizations along into a new way of working. You look beyond the go-live: it is about actual use and lasting results.

You not only advise on how things can be better, but make sure they really become better.

At Centric, as a senior business consultant, you can count on:

• A gross salary between €4,200 and €5,000 per month, depending on knowledge and experience

What you bring

• HBO/WO (university of applied sciences or university) level of work and thinking;

• extensive experience as a business consultant, business analyst, solution consultant or in a comparable role;

• demonstrable affinity with or experience in transport and logistics;

• the ability to independently analyze and improve business processes;

• the seniority to easily switch between operations, IT, management and executive board;

• experience with workshops, interviews, analyses and presentations;

• the ability to recognize resistance and turn it into commitment;

• commercial curiosity and the ability to turn opportunities into a concrete follow-up;

• interest in technological developments and their practical application;

• the ability to explain complex topics simply and convincingly;

• the drive to take responsibility and make colleagues substantively stronger.

Knowledge of our products is a bonus, but not decisive. Product knowledge can be taught to you. Analytical ability, curiosity, change power and the ability to really help a customer move forward are more important to us.
