    • Utrecht, Utrecht, Netherlands

Job description

Are you a seasoned technical professional who thrives at the intersection of product, data, and delivery? Do you know how to roll up your sleeves and solve problems hands-on while managing complex stakeholder landscapes and respecting product boundaries, solution architecture, and long-term maintainability?

 

At WCC, we build high-impact, mission critical HR tech solutions used by governments and public institutions across the globe to help millions of people find suitable jobs today and prepare for the labor market of tomorrow. We are expanding our delivery team with a Senior Technical Consultant to help us implement these solutions in a pragmatic, scalable, and responsible manner.

 

This is a hands-on, delivery-focused role where you'll work with cross-functional teams to design, configure, deploy, integrate, and fine-tune our solutions in politically sensitive, high-stakes environments. You'll combine a solid technical foundation with sharp stakeholder instincts and a strong sense of ownership over outcomes, ensuring that we do the right things and do them right.

 

 

What you’ll do

 

Technical execution

  • Design, configure, deploy, integrate, and fine-tune WCC's HR tech solutions to meet client needs while respecting product boundaries, solution architecture, and long-term maintainability.

  • Set up and maintain ETL processes to ensure our solutions optimally leverage client data.

  • Work hands-on with cloud-based infrastructure (AWS), containerization tools (Docker, Kubernetes), databases (SQL, NoSQL), and scripting (Bash, Python).

  • Prevent over-engineered, unscalable, or unmaintainable solutions through a deep understanding of technical architectures and data flows.

  • Ensure the responsible application of components powered by Artificial Intelligence by applying methodological rigor, promoting transparency, and flagging and mitigating risks that could impact fairness, maintainability, or public trust.

 

Stakeholder engagement

  • Act as a trusted technical advisor and sparring partner to clients throughout the delivery process, helping them navigate trade-offs and make sustainable, product-aligned choices.

  • Navigate politically complex, multi-stakeholder environments with confidence and credibility, backed by domain knowledge and delivery experience.

  • Collaborate with internal stakeholders across Presales, Product Management, Product Owners, DevOps, Customer Success, and Customer Support to ensure smooth delivery and strong handovers.

 

Delivery ownership

  • Work in cross-functional project teams - including technical consultants, business consultants, Data Scientists, solution architects, and project managers - to deliver implementation projects on time, within scope, and in line with commercial and technical constraints.

  • Balance customer satisfaction with product integrity; you know when to push back, when to adapt, and when to escalate.

  • Ensure clear documentation, effective customer training, and structured handovers to support.

 

Work conditions

  • Hybrid work setup when not traveling (60% in our Utrecht office, 40% from home).

  • Travel internationally as required (up to 50% of the time, depending on project needs).

Job requirements

What you bring

 

Core requirements

  • At least a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field.

  • At least 5 years of experience in technical delivery roles (e.g., implementation consultant, solution engineer, or technical project lead), preferably in government or public sector.

  • Extensive hands-on experience with databases (Oracle, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, Couchbase, or similar), scripting (Bash, Python, or equivalents), cloud-based infrastructure (AWS), and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).

  • Strong grasp of system architectures and data flows, with the ability to ask the right questions and to guide technical and data-related trade-offs.

  • Excellent communication and presentation skills; able to engage confidently with both technical and business audiences.

  • Fluent in English (spoken and written).

  • Strong interpersonal and stakeholder management skills, allowing you to connect with people, build trust, and get things done.
