We are IMPROVEN!
Not one but the nicest consulting firm for challenging projects and processes in Finance, Risk, Data Analytics and IT. Improven is looking to connect with you! Our Risk Services team is unleashed! With everything we do in the digital world, the risks and actions we need to take to ensure sustainability, information security and privacy for all are increasing exponentially.
As a Senior Manager, you are not deployed when an organisation is well on course and everything is running smoothly. It is precisely when complex issues or (major) organisational changes occur that you come around the corner and join the top of the company. So you really make an impactful contribution to an organisation.
As Senior Manager within Improven, you fulfil a strong (lead) role and role model function. You independently lead large (3-10 team members in a project) and/or more complex assignments within the C-level work area. You move easily through the client's organisation. Naturally, you are a full discussion partner of both the direct client and the client's senior management. You have very broad and extensive knowledge and experience in the risk management field.
In your role as Senior Manager, you generate annual leads and multiple assignments for yourself and others. You provide direction and have a clear knowledge and expertise role within which these assignments are carried out. This knowledge and expertise area has a direct link to the Improven business plan. In this position, you are a respected subject specialist, which is demonstrated by giving training courses and/or writing articles. You have a leading role in the organisational development of Improven and are the leader of 1 or more knowledge areas within Improven.
We have the following areas of expertise within Risk Services, among others, within which you will work as a Senior Manager:
- ERM/ORM
- Sustainability/ESG
- Compliance (e.g. AVG, NIS2, CSRD)
- Internal Control (e.g. ISAE, ISO, BIO)
- Integrity and continuity
- Cybersecurity
- Quality management
The need among our customers to have their risks identified by our talented consultants, receive detailed advice on how to mitigate them and then have the necessary measures implemented is great.
As Senior Manager, you therefore have an independent and proactive attitude, bringing your own vision and expertise to achieve the goals of both the team and the client. You will build relationships with clients and colleagues inside and outside your field and expand our network. You are able to make in-depth analyses and tackle complex problems, while being able to communicate your insights in an understandable way. Your consulting practice will include advising on cyber security, risk management, compliance, audit processes and business continuity.

Important to know!
Improven does not employ bosses and directors, but leaders with vision who seek collaboration and knowledge sharing with everyone in the organisation.
We share knowledge so that we grow together, strengthen each other and together achieve the best results, creative ideas and the most appropriate solutions. The highest attainable quality of service and service provision is the goal we want to achieve. Together.
