Are you motivated by the opportunity to deepen your leadership, commercial and advisory impact while contributing to sustainable growth in the operational transformation area? As Associate Partner and Competence Team Lead for Valcon’s Operational Transformation team, you will play a key role in developing our people, strengthening client partnerships and evolving our capabilities. And you will be instrumental in growing the area considerably in the future matching Valcon’s growth ambitions.
Role and profile
The job is located at the intersection between client delivery, team leadership, commercial work and service offering development.
You will lead a team of approximately 12 consultants and help shape the continued development of our Operational Transformation offerings, focused on Process Redesign and Process Automation, including agentic automation. You are expected to support the further integration of AI, data and technological capabilities into the services based on a clear understanding of our clients’ business needs and strategic ambitions. The ideal candidate brings deep experience and insight from both operations’ excellence and business process redesign as well as technology-driven business change and automation.
You will also act as a trusted advisor to clients, and contribute to Valcon’s growth by being commercial active, building trusted client relationships and lead projects that deliver sustainable results.
To thrive in this role, you have demonstrated experience in these four competence areas:
- Team leadership: Guide, inspire and develop a talented team of consultants, fostering an inclusive environment where people can thrive, collaborate effectively and deliver meaningful results together
- Commercial growth: Strengthen Valcon’s position as a trusted advisor by building long-term client partnerships and creating sustainable growth opportunities together with clients
- Client engagement: Manage and deliver complex projects with high-quality standards from initial mobilization to final delivery and further expansions
- Service development leadership: Develop internal capabilities and strengthen methodologies with AI, data, and technology as key enablers of business transformation
The role offers a high degree of autonomy and responsibility. The ability to balance time between all four areas is key, as they are equally important for success in this role.
In addition, you should embody these skills:
- People skills: Build and nurture existing relationships and teams through empathy, engagement and effective communication with clear direction
- Business and digital acumen: Think analytically and strategically with a pragmatic approach to execution. View AI, data and digital technology as integral elements of modern business development
- Subject-matter-expertise: Business process redesign, improvement and automation
- Education: Speak and write English fluently and professionally, with Danish being a plus. Completed relevant higher education or equivalent professional experience. Further education is a plus
Organisation and reporting
You will be the direct people manager of the Operational Transformation team of consultants (excluding Associate Partners and Partners) or managing their people managers. The role reports to a Partner from either one of our Commercial Sectors or our Head of Consulting.
Location and travel
The role is based at Valcon’s offices in central Copenhagen or Århus, Denmark. You can expect travel in connection with client meetings and project work, primarily within the Nordic region.
