senior director

Eidra Consulting

<div><p>Eidra is an international, PE-backed consultancy collective that combines management consulting with deep expertise in design, technology, and commerce. In 3.5 years, the Dutch collective has grown significantly and is now shifting from product execution toward broader strategic partnerships with clients. The new Senior Director Consulting will lead the practice that drives that shift.</p><h3 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>
The role</b></h3><p>
Eidra is wired for growth. The moment to accelerate is now, and in the Netherlands, that acceleration starts with the Senior Director Consulting who builds and leads the practice worthy of that ambition.</p><p>
The starting point is a consulting practice with nine professionals, most of them senior generalists with strong strategy consulting backgrounds. Part of the team operates as orchestrator and strategist on larger client assignments that span multiple companies within the collective. Others are embedded directly inside the operating companies, actively bridging the consulting and expert worlds. In AI work specifically, Eidra's engineers, product designers, and data specialists sit alongside the consulting team, so a strategy engagement can credibly cover the full stack, from operating model to product to change program. It is a position very few pure-play strategy firms can match, and the foundation for something significantly larger.</p><p>
The Senior Director will grow the Dutch consulting practice, with the ambition to triple or quadruple the team into a practice that is built to last. That means winning new clients and deepening existing relationships, moving from focused specialist engagements toward full-scope growth programs that draw on the breadth of the collective. The Senior Director sits at the table where growth strategies are defined, and builds the relationship from there, orchestrating seamlessly across brands and capabilities to make sure clients get the full strength of the group. That orchestration, getting the most value out of the collective for every client, is the core responsibility of the consulting practice.</p><p>
Both words in that sentence &mdash; &quot;builds&quot; and &quot;relationship&quot; &mdash; capture what this role is about at its core. The entrepreneurial appetite for building is matched by a talent to connect people and build relationships, externally with C-level client stakeholders and internally with the managing directors and specialists across the Dutch operating companies. Genuine curiosity is the foundation: an intrinsic interest in what happens inside a product studio, a design agency, or a commerce practice, and the ability to earn the trust of people who are exceptionally good at what they do. Eidra consultants care more about the problem than their title.</p><p>
Eidra operates on a simple principle: test it, try it, and see if it works. There is no predefined path and no shortage of room to experiment. The Senior Director who thrives here is energized by that freedom and committed to bringing out the best in themselves and their fantastic team of experts every day: designers, engineers, brand strategists, and digital specialists who have built things, shipped things, and won awards. Working alongside them teaches something no strategy deck ever could. This is not a practice with a vision already set: it is one still waiting to be built.</p><h3 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>
A genuine challenger</b></h3><p>
Most management consultants know the frustration of handing over a deck and watching nothing happen. At Eidra, that frustration disappears. The execution capacity sits next door: strategy becomes a product roadmap, a brand repositioning, a re-engineered customer journey, software that actually gets built. Eidra has established itself as a genuine challenger to the largest consulting firms, and is increasingly invited to compete at that level. The Netherlands is one of Eidra's three primary growth markets, alongside DACH and the US, with growth split roughly evenly between organic expansion and acquisitions.</p><h3 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>
What you bring</b></h3><p>
Over 12 years of experience, with a foundation in consulting followed by a more entrepreneurial or commercial path, such as growing a business or a business line</p><p>
Track record in building and growing C-suite client relationships</p><p>
Generalist consulting toolkit across growth strategy, operating models, and digital transformation</p><p>
Entrepreneurial mindset</p><p>
Organizational savvy with strong stakeholder management skills</p><p>
Able to translate AI strategy into operating models, products, and execution</p><p>
