The Role & Responsibilities

• Managing planning, budgets, quality, risks, reporting and stakeholder communication.

• Maintaining clear, structured and accessible documentation in English.
• Coaching colleagues on project follow-up and encouraging consistent project-management practices.

The Ideal Candidate

You bring at least 10 years of proven experience as a Senior Project Manager, including a minimum of 5 years working on security-related projects. You have a broad understanding of the complete project-management lifecycle and are comfortable operating in environments where operational priorities can change rapidly.

You should also have:

• Experience with established project-management methodologies such as PMBOK, PRINCE2 or RUP, combined with the ability to work with Agile teams.
• Experience with compliance and compliance reporting.
• A strong understanding of the IT security landscape and the ability to communicate effectively with Security, Network, Infrastructure and Development professionals.

• Familiarity with security monitoring and incident-response technologies such as SIEM, SOAR, EDR and IDS/IPS is a plus.

Personal Profile & Practical Requirements

You are a strong communicator, pragmatic problem-solver and natural team player who can take ownership while bringing different teams together. You are resilient under pressure, flexible when operational priorities shift, and confident enough to proactively gather information and challenge stakeholders when necessary. You lead by example, share knowledge with colleagues and adapt quickly to complex environments. Given the sensitive nature of the assignment, discretion, integrity and a strong sense of responsibility are essential.

Mandatory requirements:

• Minimum 10 years of proven professional experience.
• Belgian nationality.
• Existing Top Secret security clearance, or willingness to undergo the required security screening and obtain one.
