• Launch and follow up PoCs, assess the technical and functional feasibility of the needs expressed.

Managing deployment projects

• Organise project kick-offs: define budgets, timelines and resources, and present the schedule to the client.
• Draw up a detailed project plan and configure the MakeITSafe platform to meet client needs.
• Support technical integration with the client’s information system (SSO, API, environments).
• Check the quality of imported data (suppliers, questionnaires, action plans, etc.).
• Ensure the specifications are met (quality, timelines, budget) throughout the deployment.

Training and support content

• Design and run training sessions for users and administrators.
• Develop guides, tutorials, procedures and short videos to ease adoption of the solution.

Continuity of the client relationship

• Ensure a smooth handover between the deployment phase and Customer Success follow-up.
• Remain an occasional point of reference on complex GRC topics during the client lifecycle.

Continuous improvement and spotting opportunities

• Work with the Business, Product and Tech teams to prioritise and integrate client feedback.
• Identify cross-sell and upsell opportunities, build usage roadmaps aligned with client objectives.

Operational excellence through AI

• Use the best AI tools every day to prepare, analyse, document, decide on and secure projects.
• Identify, automate and eliminate tasks that add no value.
• Measure the gains achieved (timelines, quality, client satisfaction, productivity).

• Proven GRC / cybersecurity expertise (frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIS2, DORA, GDPR…), ideally combined with consulting or project management experience in a SaaS environment.
