Organization


Valcon is a European transformation company that integrates Consulting, Data, and Technology into one platform. Headquartered in Utrecht (the Netherlands), Valcon operates across six European countries: the Netherlands, Denmark, the UK, Sweden, Croatia, and Serbia, employing more than 1,600 professionals.


Valcon follows a balanced growth strategy combining organic expansion with a selective buy-and-build approach. Organic growth is driven by rising demand for integrated transformation services, particularly in (Gen)AI, data-driven consulting, and technology solutions. At the same time, Valcon expands its European footprint through targeted acquisitions of high-performing firms, integrating them into one platform with a unified brand, culture, and back-office. This combination of scalable integration and local entrepreneurship underpins the company’s consistent double-digit growth trajectory.


Supported by Rivean Capital (formerly Gilde Buy Out Partners), a leading European private equity investor with a strong track record in accelerating international growth and professionalizing organizations, Valcon benefits from both strategic guidance and access to capital. Rivean’s backing enables the company to pursue its ambitious buy-and-build agenda while safeguarding entrepreneurial culture and sustainable value creation.

We are looking for someone who is both assertive and pragmatic, and who thrives in a dynamic environment. You will take the lead in bringing structure and harmonization across the group finance function, while keeping a hands-on, collaborative approach with the local teams.
