Senior Evaluation Consultant Investment Management

Do you believe that a self-learning and continuously improving organisation is vital to the long-term success of an organisation? As an Evaluation Consultant, you will play a key role in strengthening PGGM Investment Management’s (IM) ability to reflect, learn, and improve. You will contribute to meaningful change by shaping and coordinating external evaluations and supporting the internal plan-do-check-act (PDCA) cycle. Through your insights of the whole IM organization and investment process, you are able to identify and report valuable observations, trends and reflections. In this role, you embed continuous improvement at the core of our investment management organization.  

As an Evaluation Consultant your responsibilities include:

• Take ownership of parts of the evaluation calendar by gathering input from multiple stakeholders in- and outside the organization, tracking evaluation requirements (i.e. scoping), and helping align timing and topics with PFZW and the PGGM Investment Management Board.
• Selecting external consultants based on the evaluation calendar, the most suitable external consultants are thoroughly reviewed and assessed and subsequently selected and contracted to execute the evaluation on a pre-defined subject.
• Lead, manage and coordinate external evaluations by onboarding of external consultants, preparing the assignment, managing the organization of the (review) sessions and monitor progress to ensure that evaluations meet expectations and deliver value (i.e. the improvements key to the long-term success of the organization). 
• Coordinate and structure the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle by supporting internal teams during their ‘plan’, ‘do’, ‘check’ and ‘act’ phases. You ensure the process is structured and consistent.
• Report on valuable insights by supporting the quarterly reporting cycle on the completed, pending and scheduled external evaluations and obtained insights of those evaluations based on your expert judgement. The reports are presented to the Board of PGGM Asset Management and PFZW and provide the organisation with valuable input on the quality of teams, products and processes.
• Develop evaluation standards and templates to help teams execute their PDCA-cycle effectively and consistently. You contribute ideas to improve documentation, communication, and alignment across the organisation.

Business Management is a newly established department within PGGM Investments, bringing together key cross-functional roles that support our investment management value chain in driving strategic change.

As an Evaluation Consultant, you report to the Head of Business Management. The team consists of three areas of expertise:

• Partnership Management and Evaluation – Responsible for strategic collaboration with PFZW, shaping governance agreements, and evaluating PGGM IM’s products and services.
• Management Consultants and Corporate Secretariat – Provide strategic support to the IM Board, prepare decision-making, and translate strategy into implementation and advice.
• Executive Assistants – Serve as the organisational hub for PGGM IM’s management, focusing on planning, support, and connection both within and outside the management team.

By integrating these functions, the Business Management team plays a central role in connecting strategy, execution, and governance—advancing PGGM Investment Management’s ambitions in close collaboration with PFZW.

We are looking for a candidate with a solid and strong understanding of asset management organisations and the associated processes. This includes the array of processes from strategic asset allocation towards actual investments as well as related activities such as investment and operational risk management. You track market and regulatory developments with interest and know how to translate these into relevant insights for evaluations. You have a broad and relevant network that assists and informs you finding the appropriate and case specific consultants for the individual assignments.

You are comfortable engaging with internal and external stakeholders and able to provide constructive feedback. With strong project management skills and an analytical mindset, you work accurately and independently, while also enjoying collaboration. You bring structure, curiosity, and a proactive attitude— and most of all willingness to enhance a self-learning and continuously improving organisation.
