As a Senior consultant strategic sourcing, you advise our clients in various phases of an IT sourcing project. Our goal is to help clients organize and manage their IT in a way that contributes to their organizational objectives. This can include faster innovation, higher quality, or cost control. By doing so, you support and guide the client as effectively as possible during the digital transformation that many of our clients face. Based on this goal, you and the client formulate the organization’s sourcing strategy. What should the organization handle internally, what can be outsourced, and what is the role of the cloud? All these topics may come up. You develop the business case for sourcing and assist the client in making the right decisions about whether or not to outsource.
Additionally, you take on, in various possible roles, the responsibility for supplier selection together with the client. Highberg carries out many (social) assignments within the public sector, often resulting from a European tender. You can take on a specialized role as a project manager, but also, for example, a generalist role as a quality controller. Thus, the role of Senior consultant strategic sourcing is a diverse one, where you can fulfill different roles for multiple clients simultaneously.
At Highberg, we turn vision into movement and ambition into reality. We know that real transformation demands more than ideas: it demands people who make them happen. We believe in doing, not just designing. In partnerships built on trust and shared purpose. Our people work as one, combining humanity, strategy, and deep expertise. Because when people and purpose move together, we create change that endures.
You might be assisting a client in the financial sector with outsourcing their IT environment to the cloud, or helping a government organization with the procurement of their telephony contracts. The common thread is that you enjoy helping clients achieve optimal setup and management of contracted IT services. This applies to both clients who outsource and Shared Service Organizations. You are adept at identifying the needs of clients, understanding what they aim to achieve with their IT landscape, and advising on what they need to get there. Whether it involves managing suppliers, developing business cases, or drafting an RFI, RFP, Statement of Requirements, or SLA to realize the sourcing strategy, you handle it all with ease!
