Pax8 is hiring a Strategic Consultant in Zwolle, the Netherlands to work alongside the leaders of our technology partners, uncover what is holding their businesses back and help them move forward with clarity and confidence. You’ll lead transformational workshops, challenge established thinking and turn complex conversations into practical growth strategies, recommendations and roadmaps. From leadership and culture to sales, operations and long-term strategy, you’ll see the real-world impact of your work on businesses and the people behind them. You’ll join a close-knit and evolving Academy consultancy team, with the autonomy to shape partner experiences across Europe. As Pax8 continues its AI journey, you’ll combine emerging technology with the things it cannot replace: human curiosity, emotional intelligence and the ability to inspire meaningful change. 🌍 Join a culture built around growth Learning isn’t something that happens once a year. Curiosity, different perspectives and continuous development are central to how this team works. You’ll be encouraged to explore ideas, deepen your expertise and bring your own perspective to an established but growing consultancy practice. Discover Pax8 Netherlands and learn more about our Great Place to Work certification in the Netherlands. 🎯 What you’ll be doing Transform partner businesses: Facilitate engaging workshops that help leaders identify opportunities, tackle challenges and turn strategy into clear action. Influence at the highest level: Build trusted relationships with senior and board-level stakeholders, asking insightful questions and constructively challenging thinking. Turn insight into action: Bring workshop findings, observations and business information together into clear executive recommendations and practical roadmaps. Create lasting partnerships: Work closely with partners throughout their growth journey, becoming a trusted adviser rather than simply delivering one-off engagements. Connect across Pax8: Collaborate with sales, Academy colleagues and subject-matter experts to create joined-up experiences for our partners. Share what you know: Deliver compelling presentations at masterclasses, briefings and industry events while helping colleagues develop their own consultancy capability. Keep learning: Grow your knowledge of business transformation, coaching and the technology landscape, bringing new thinking back into the team. Get close to our partners: Travel regularly across Europe to participate in partner workshops and engagements. ✨ The impact you’ll make Your work can influence far more than a single workshop. You’ll help partners change how they operate, support their growth and strengthen their relationship with Pax8. As the consultancy practice scales, you’ll also help shape what great strategic partner support looks like and leave a lasting impact on the businesses you work with. 🧠 What you’ll bring We’re looking for someone who combines consultancy expertise with genuine curiosity about people and businesses. You’ll ideally bring: Proven consultancy experience, ideally within technology, digital transformation or business change. Strong business acumen and the ability to move comfortably between big-picture strategy and practical actions. Experience influencing and communicating with executive and board-level stakeholders. Excellent facilitation skills and confidence guiding challenging, meaningful conversations. The ability to build rapport and trust quickly with different personalities and audiences. A coaching mindset, with business coaching experience or training particularly valuable. Intellectual curiosity and a genuine appetite for continuous learning. A collaborative approach. You’ll enjoy succeeding as part of a team while being comfortable working autonomously. Strong written and spoken English. Additional European languages are welcome. The flexibility and enthusiasm to travel regularly for partner engagements across Europe. Experience in the technology channel is useful but not essential. We’re much more interested in your ability to consult, coach, communicate and understand how businesses grow. 🤝 Building trust from the beginning At Pax8, we care deeply about building genuine, trust-based relationships — starting with how we hire.
