What the job involves

On a day-to-day basis, this person will work closely with the VP of Corporate Strategy (who leads the Team), the Chief Strategy Officer (who leads Global Strategy) and key stakeholders including Divisional Strategy, Corporate Development and Business Unit GMs, to lead project work, run the annual strategic planning process, and support the Executive Board (CEO and CFO) and the Supervisory Board

Our take

For over 185 years, Wolters Kluwer has been innovating the way professionals and businesses work. The company has expanded to offer a substantial range of services across the Health, Tax & Accounting, Finance, Compliance, and Legal sectors.

While operating across so many sectors comes with an extensive range of competition, Wolters Kluwer serves customers in over 180 countries, which has been managed, in part, due to its 70+ acquisitions. For example, the company has recently acquired leading artificial intelligence technology company Della AI, which will become part of its legal software unit, to further advance its natural language processing capabilities.

The company is currently focused on its 2022-2024 strategy, which is a three-year value elevation strategy aimed at accelerating expert solutions, expanding its reach, and evolving its core capabilities. After delivering on its 2019-2021 strategy (resulting in €4.8 billion in revenues in 2021 alone) Wolters Kluwer is well set to remain on its long-standing path of growth and success.
