Organizational Consultant

Organizational Consultant

Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy, Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality

Job Description

Work on development projects that affect many of your colleagues. For no fewer than two ministries, where the most pressing issues of our time are at stake. You’ll have this exciting opportunity as an organizational consultant at the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy (EZK) and the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality (LNV). A job with impact: you ensure that your colleagues can achieve the best results in their work and thus respond optimally to the major challenges facing our country.

It’s happening at the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy (EZK) and the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality (LNV); this is where the exciting challenges are waiting to be seized. Together, we face major societal challenges that we can only tackle by being innovative. You’ll play a pioneering role in the important organizational developments ahead. The focus is on assignments for the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy (EZK), but you may also work on projects for the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality (LNV). This makes your work particularly varied, in addition to the diverse HR topics you’ll encounter, ranging from organizational and team development to workload management and organizational structuring.

Your role often involves current and important issues arising from, for example, a decision by the House of Representatives or the major public policy priorities assigned to the ministries. You will be responsible for one or more accounts: specific organizational units for which you will work, alongside HR and sometimes other organizational consultants from the Advisory team. You will also be involved in organization-wide development programs through which we give concrete shape to changes and improvements, such as promoting task-oriented work or guiding a reorganization. There is no shortage of variety in your job. One moment you’re involved in setting up a brand-new program directorate, drafting documents on structural adjustments and guiding employees in collaboration and proper role fulfillment. The next, you’re leading a team session on the results of an employee survey or on work pressure. Or you’re researching the best way of working for a specific organizational unit. The Executive Board of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy (EZK) and the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality (LNV), as well as department heads, managers, and directors-general, also rely on your (strategic) advice on a wide range of organizational issues. In short, with us you’ll have a broad, varied, and responsible role. Will you join us to strengthen our organization?
