Job description

We Elevate. Digitally.

At SQLI Belgium, we're looking for a Project Manager who understands how technical projects work, enjoys working with people and knows how to keep delivery moving.

You'll manage projects in cloud migration, monitoring and observability. Working closely with our consultants and clients, you'll make sure expectations are clear, decisions are followed up and teams have what they need to deliver.

Your local team is mainly based in Diepenbeek. We work in a hybrid setup, combining home working with around two days a week in the office, depending on project and client needs.

This position is only open to candidates who will be employed directly by us. We do not work with contractors or agencies for this role.

Job Description

Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing projects for clients in Belgium, building close working relationships from the start.
• Coordinating international projects with clients and colleagues across Europe.
• Overseeing cloud migration and monitoring initiatives, including projects involving Datadog.
• Defining scope, planning activities and following up on progress, dependencies and risks.
• Working with technical specialists to translate client requirements into a realistic delivery plan.
• Keeping stakeholders informed and addressing issues that could affect delivery.

Qualifications

• Experience managing IT projects and working directly with technical teams and clients.
• A good understanding of cloud environments and what is involved in a cloud migration.
• Familiarity with monitoring and observability: you understand how metrics, logs, traces and alerts help teams monitor the health and performance of their systems.
• Experience with Datadog is a strong plus. Knowledge of a comparable monitoring platform is also relevant.
• A practical approach to project management, adapting your way of working to the project and the team.
• Clear communication, good organisational skills and the confidence to follow up on decisions and commitments.
• Fluency in Dutch and a good command of English are essential. French is a strong plus.

Additional Information

• You'll work on projects for Belgian clients, with regular contact and the opportunity to follow delivery from the first discussions through to implementation.
• You'll also be involved in international projects, working with colleagues across Europe and occasionally travelling to meet clients and project teams.
• You'll join a team where colleagues know each other, make time to help and enjoy spending time together. You can count on technical expertise, honest feedback and a good sense of humour.
• We support your professional development through relevant training, certifications, coaching and knowledge sharing with colleagues.
• A hybrid working arrangement gives you a combination of home working and regular time with your colleagues in Diepenbeek.
• We offer a permanent contract and a competitive salary, complemented by a company car with charging card, group and hospitalisation insurance, a laptop and a flexible cafeteria plan.
• You'll have 26 days of annual leave based on a 39-hour working week.
