Business Manager

Job Description Summary

Join SANDT’s growth journey by taking charge of our operational and commercial activities.

You will sit at the heart of our consulting firm, making sure client needs are matched with the right talent, projects launch smoothly, and our commercial pipeline runs with precision. This role is critical in helping us meet client demand without compromising internal focus on people, governance, and strategic priorities.

If you are a trilingual (EN/NL/FR), organized and people-driven individual looking to accelerate their career, then this one’s for you!

Purpose

SANDT helps its clients master the strategic impact of technology. Our work supports leading organisations through three interconnected transitions to help them transform strategy into execution: the digital transition, the energy transition, and the organisational transition.

This role puts you at the centre of operations: making sure the right teams are mobilized to meet client needs efficiently and sustainably. You’ll start by gaining insight into how we identify opportunities and deliver with impact, before progressively taking ownership of your own portfolio. Along the way, you’ll sharpen the commercial, operational, and leadership skills to one day lead a business unit or launch a strategic initiative of your own.

Education

Master’s degree in business, engineering, business engineering, or a related field.

Academic or extracurricular experience demonstrating analytical thinking, structured problem-solving, and strong communication skills.
