(Senior) Consultant Technology Advisory

Looking to deliver high-impact IT solutions and transformations—while shaping your career as a versatile consultant in a growing, no-nonsense team?

Within our Technology Advisory capability, our primary goal is to help our clients unlock the full potential of their IT landscape to enable and transform the business. We work closely with CIOs, CTOs, and IT managers, providing strategic and tactical guidance to optimize their technology landscape. Our projects include various areas, for instance IT Strategy & Portfolio, IT Target Operating Model, Enterprise Architecture, Application Rationalization, Buy vs Built assessments or Vendor and Partner Selections. In addition, we increasingly see AI & Data becoming part of our services, and we integrate these topics holistically, for example when developing a target architecture or a target operating model.

Valcon fosters an informal and inclusive culture with a flat hierarchy. We believe in collaboration across various business areas and managerial levels, promoting a cohesive and supportive working environment. You’ll be part of a team where learning from one another and shared success are integral to our collective achievements.
