Résumé du poste

Hoogwegt Group in Arnhem seeks an IT Portfolio & Business Partner Lead to align business ambitions with IT delivery. You will package demand, projects and changes into a prioritised portfolio and ensure business owners own requirements and outcomes.

Reporting to the Global IT Director, you’ll shape the IT and AI roadmap, drive demand gates, and provide consolidated portfolio reporting while enabling organisational change and value realisation across Business Solutions, BI & Data and IT

Qualifications

• Proven experience in IT demand, portfolio and programme management, including prioritisation, business cases and benefits management.
• Experience in international B2B, trading, supply chain or food and agri environments.
• The credibility and communication skills to challenge senior business stakeholders constructively and build agreement on ownership and priorities.
• A coaching mindset: you help colleagues develop their capabilities in requirements definition, process ownership and change rather than doing the work for them.
• Strong business acumen and a disciplined approach to KPIs, investment choices and value tracking.
• Confidence working with data, AI and digital platforms from a business and commissioning perspective; this is not a hands-on engineering role.
• The ability to lead cross-functional collaboration and influence decisions without direct hierarchical authority.
• Experience with portfolio or programme management frameworks such as MSP, SAFe portfolio management or similar approaches.

Responsabilités

• Manage one integrated IT portfolio covering demand, projects and changes across all IT teams, aligned with business priorities and our 2028 strategy.
• Lead demand intake and prioritisation, ensuring initiatives have a named business owner, a clear business case and agreed requirements before entering delivery.
• Partner with Business Process Owners, Managing Directors and global service leaders to strengthen process ownership, requirements quality and accountability for business outcomes.
• Shape the IT and AI roadmap with the IT leadership team, agreeing sequencing and capacity with delivery leads and ensuring feasibility informs portfolio decisions.
• Apply a clear demand gate: initiatives proceed only when business ownership, business justification and delivery capacity are in place.
• Provide consolidated project portfolio reporting on progress, milestones, budgets, risks and benefits, working with IT Operations & Governance to contribute to one coherent IT scorecard.
• Establish benefits tracking and hold business owners accountable for realising the value of their initiatives.
• Integrate AI initiatives into the IT portfolio in partnership with the AI Value Lead and AI Steering Committee, securing alignment on IT capacity, sequencing and project reporting.
• Drive the IT innovation agenda beyond AI-specific use cases and lead organisational change management and adoption, with business owners leading change in their own areas.
