Transformation. That’s what it’s all about at YaWorks. We help organizations future-proof their digital backbone. No buzzwords, no fluff, just results. Based in Amsterdam, we’ve been solving complex IT challenges for over 15 years. Now, we’re expanding our impact with a growing Management Consulting practice. That’s where you come in.

Our Senior IT Management Consultants have the unique opportunity to choose an innovative renumeration model we call the 70/30 model. Curious? Read below for more.

Our typical engagements
The Management Consulting team helps our clients’ IT Management shape their technology vision and execute on their digital and technology driven transformation. What sets us apart, is that we have an engineering and delivery capability that can execute on the outcomes of management consulting engagements. We deliver a change, not a PowerPoint presentation.

As a Head of IT Management Consultancy, you are at the core of our engagement teams. You’re the primary point of contact for our senior stakeholders, manage the engagement and engagement team. You’ll be involved in a range of activities from developing IT organizations, developing technology strategies, sourcing and architecture engagements or assist in digital transformation implementation activities.

Beyond your client-facing work, you’ll play a key role in shaping and scaling our Management Consultancy practice itself. You are commercially accountable for the overall practice performance. You own the P&L, revenue and margin targets and the practice’s commercial strategy. Together with our sales and marketing team, you will co-create and execute go-to-market plans, form partnerships, and increase our win rates to ensure sustainable growth. You’ll also develop and refine our intellectual property; from frameworks and methodologies to thought leadership and client ready assets. You’ll streamline internal processes, ensuring our ways of working are consistent, effective, and scalable. And you’ll actively contribute to our knowledge base and brand visibility by creating high-quality content that showcases our expertise and drives engagement across the YaWorks community and beyond.

Our core values
We connect strategy and execution, and we build digital foundations that are resilient, scalable, and secure. We bring energy, clarity, and team spirit to every engagement. To do so we act using our four core values:

Teamship – We strive to create a powerful connection between teamwork and friendship in every engagement, in every moment

People over profit – Yes, we are very serious about people. Even if it comes at the cost of profit. People create our business, not the other way around

Content is king – We strongly believe content is king. Content will trump process, all day

Get it done – We get it done. We usually don’t say much more about this

10+ years’ experience in IT management consulting

Experience in building and growing a team.

The remainder? Your personal bonus

Full transparency. Full control.

The 70/30 model in more detail
Having a background at the large consultancy firms, we are very familiar with the partner model. Work for 10+ years and hope you make it. Then you start generating income based on others trying to climb the same ladder. The partner model therefore doesn’t match well with our teamship and people over profit values. We needed something different, something new, something innovative within the Management Consulting space. We therefore came up with the 70/30 model.

The 70/30 model is a compensation model based on transparency and shared entrepreneurship. You know exactly what the client is paying, and 70% of that amount goes to you.

Out of the 70% your fixed salary is paid, your lease car, pension and other costs directly related to you. What is left of the 70% is paid as an annual bonus. So, we never have debates about who gets which share of the earned revenue. Nor do we have debates on your wage increase. Your earnings are directly tied to your performance and growth that translates into your hourly rate.

During the application process we are more than happy to further explain the 70/30 model and provide you with some example calculations given your personal situation.

Closure
The requirements give an idea of the desired profile. Research indicates that men apply with a 60% match, while women usually apply only with a 100% match. If you are hesitant about meeting the requirements but feel this job might suit you, please apply or contact us. We’ll have a chat and see if there is a match.

A screening and a management case are part of this procedure.
