You manage and monitor the realization of projects while respecting the planning, budget, and required quality.
You stimulate, coordinate, motivate and support the collaborators involved in the projects, and you may also be required to manage programs relying on the MSP methodology.
Client contacts are also very important in this role (negotiation, communication, etc.). You are used to negotiating with senior-level managers both at the client and within your own organization.

You wish to join a dynamic team and contribute to the realization of innovative and impactful projects for society. You have significant professional experience in IT project management (ideally based on Prince2). You have worked in an Agile environment and are familiar with IT processes both at the development and infrastructure levels.
Your excellent communication skills, negotiation ability, and coaching talent are your main assets. Methodical and organized, you are able to set priorities and coordinate the various parties involved in a project.
A minimum of 2 years of experience with entities of the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles is a plus.
