• Manage awarded ICT advisory and transformation projects, coordinating multidisciplinary experts and subcontractors.
• Monitor deliverables, schedules, resources, budgets, contractual reporting and technical quality.
• Review technical outputs and coordinate client communication and acceptance of deliverables.
• Contribute to the positioning, new services, partnerships, commercial pipeline and project references.
• Identify emerging digital government, data, AI, cybersecurity and interoperability opportunities.

• University degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Information Systems, Engineering, Business Information Systems or a related field.
• At least 6 years of relevant professional experience in ICT advisory, digital transformation or technology consulting.
• Demonstrated experience preparing technical proposals for public-sector ICT consultancy assignments.

• Strong understanding of ICT systems, software platforms, system integration and public-sector digital transformation.
• Ability to prepare methodologies, work plans, staffing estimates, resource allocations and budgets.
• Strong project management, analytical, organisational, communication and negotiation skills; commercial awareness and independence.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint.

Strong assets

• Direct experience with DG DIGIT, European Commission services or EU agencies.
• Experience with HACS, BEACON or comparable EU ICT advisory framework contracts, including reopening-of-competition procedures.
• Established European network of senior ICT experts and specialist technology firms.
• Familiarity with EU digital policy, AI governance, cybersecurity, data protection and interoperability standards.
