As a Service Consultant you contribute to service design, provide input in tenders or other presales processes, and advise customers based upon your expertise. You can lead or be a part of an onboarding process as part of the implementation of a new customer with the relevant service design. You also contribute to the cost optimalisation of a design or onboarding process.
As a Service Consultant, you are advisory and supportive in optimizing operational processes so that they are in line with the service delivered to customers. Keeping up with market developments and group perspectives is essential for this. To perform the role well, you work mainly on your internal network, acting as the link between sales and operations. However, it is also important to know what our partners can do so that you can advise on the best solution for the customer. An important aspect of the Service Consultant is that his or her hours must be billable, either internally or to external clients. Each Service Consultant has his or her own expertise, with one focusing more on logistics services, for example, and another more on reporting.
