management consulting, lot of experience, consultant
Belgium

You know how to keep complex IT landscapes running smoothly — and how to make clients feel it. As Managed Services Lead at delaware Belux, you own the full lifecycle of our managed services portfolio: from SLA governance and team leadership to client relationships and practice growth. This is a senior role at the intersection of delivery excellence, commercial accountability, and people leadership. 

Who are we?

You will step into a key leadership role within one of Belgium’s most respected SAP and digital consulting firms. This position offers true ownership: you will run your own practice with a high degree of entrepreneurial freedom, fully supported by an experienced leadership team.

You will also collaborate closely with Managed Services leads across other delaware entities, adding an international and strategic dimension to your role.

What truly sets this opportunity apart is the strong people-first culture. At delaware, experts grow experts — with a strong focus on coaching, continuous learning, and stretch assignments that accelerate both personal and professional development.

In addition, you can expect:

  • a competitive salary package, including a company car and performance bonus
  • a comprehensive range of fringe benefits
  • flexible hybrid working, with access to offices in Ghent, Antwerp, Kortrijk, Wavre, Lummen, and Liège

Is there a match?

In this role, you will take end-to-end ownership of delaware’s Managed Services portfolio in Belgium and Luxembourg, with a strong focus on both growth and service excellence. You ensure that clients experience consistent, high-quality delivery, while continuously improving service performance and contract execution.

You will play a key role in shaping the future of the Managed Services practice within delaware Belux, driving innovation and adapting the offering to an ever-evolving market.

Your responsibilities include:

  • leading a portfolio of Managed Services contracts, acting as the main escalation point for clients
  • governing SLAs, KPIs, and service reporting, and translating insights into concrete actions
  • owning the P&L of your contract portfolio, including budgeting, forecasting, staffing, and margin management
  • building, managing, and inspiring a team of service managers, functional consultants, and support engineers — including collaboration with offshore and nearshore delivery centers
  • driving continuous improvement across delivery processes and service contracts
  • partnering closely with sales and presales teams to evolve the go-to-market strategy
  • building long-term, trusted relationships with stakeholders, from IT operations up to C-level
  • identifying and developing upsell and expansion opportunities within your client base

We are looking for a strong leader with a proven track record in managed services:

  • 8+ years of experience in IT services, consulting, or managed services, including at least 3 years in a leadership role
  • proven experience managing complex managed services or outsourcing contracts end-to-end
  • strong knowledge of ITIL service management principles (certification is a plus)
  • experience with SAP landscapes (ECC, S/4HANA, BTP), with either a functional or technical background
  • familiarity with SAP and cloud-managed services (Microsoft Azure, AWS)
  • excellent stakeholder management skills — comfortable operating both in executive settings and hands-on delivery environments
  • fluency in English and either Dutch or French (trilingual capabilities are a strong asset in the Belux context)

Business architect

Matches:  management consulting, consultant, lot of experience
Although delaware has built up a rock-solid reputation as an IT implementation partner, technology is only part of the story of a digital transformation. To write these remaining chapters, our Management Consulting division helps our customers’ senior management to transform beyond technology.
 
You’ll be part of a new and exciting area within delaware that focuses on this connected transformation. On top of our existing technical expertise, you’ll help us to bring business knowledge and strategic thinking to our clients.

CIO Advisory Consultant

Matches:  management consulting, consultant, lot of experience

You bring structure to complexity. Where others see disconnected puzzle pieces (strategy, processes, technology, people). You see the whole picture. As a CIO advisor at delaware, you are the link between what an organisation wants to achieve and how it anchors that architecturally. You think in models, but you also stand firmly inside the client organisation (understanding their world from the outside in).

AI Transformation Driver

Matches:  management consulting, consultant, lot of experience

delaware is in the middle of a company‑wide AI transformation; rethinking how 5,000 people learn, deliver, and sell consulting in the AI era. This isn't a PowerPoint exercise; it’s a live program with real initiatives shipping every week.

You will join as the primary execution engine alongside the program lead. You take ownership of key workstreams, build the deliverables, run the rhythm, and ensure things actually ship. As the program matures, you'll evolve into a client‑facing AI transformation consultant; helping enterprise customers navigate their own journey using the playbooks you helped build internally.

This is not a strategy role; this is execution

Finance Transformation Manager

Matches:  management consulting, consultant, lot of experience

Are you passionate about technology and finance? Do you have hands-on experience with ERP systems like SAP S/4HANA and thrive in dynamic environments? You excel in productive sessions with management, data analysis, and agile consulting. You quickly understand business challenges and can inspire finance professionals to embrace new ways of working. You're flexible, proactive, and ready to guide clients through their business transformation journeys.  

If so, the delaware Management Consulting team is looking for you!
