Principal

Our Brussels office aims to recruit a Principal to strengthen its team. The unique value that we offer our clients requires unique talents from our consultants. We are therefore looking for multilingual people with a high sense of creativity and learning agility, outstanding interpersonal and analytical skills and a great deal of entrepreneurship.

The principal is a significant contributor to business development, taking lead responsibility for a substantial area of business and/or one or more key accounts, and initiating or steering sales campaigns when appropriate.

Alternatively (or in addition), the principal is the professional leader of at least one important area of the company's business, developing and applying new consulting methodologies and ensuring their rigor and relevance. The principal is recognized by colleagues as a professional authority, and acts as a guide and mentor for less senior staff.
