A public-sector organisation responsible for waterways and water-linked land in the Flemish Region is consolidating its 2026 ICT pipeline into one programme. As a Senior ICT Infrastructure Programme Manager, you will coordinate network projects across office IT and operational technology, Dynamics/Power Apps delivery, and Azure migration projects, including legacy-to-cloud and SaaS transitions.
The mission
The portfolio covers hybrid infrastructure for corporate IT and operational technology, including network work for a remote-control initiative. It combines network hardware selection, Azure projects for new applications, legacy migrations and selected moves to SaaS. The programme manager connects ICT staff, stakeholders and external partners while controlling budget, scope, milestones and timing. This supports mobility, waterway management, flood protection and recreation across Flanders.
You will lead a portfolio rather than a single project, establishing governance, sequencing dependencies and following delivery through completion. Your day-to-day scope includes clarifying needs, organising working groups and stakeholder interviews, coordinating decisions, and reporting progress. You will identify risks and issues, define mitigation actions, and keep project documentation and delivery processes complete. Your work gives the ICT function a coordinated view of interdependent infrastructure, platform and cloud changes.
Your responsibilities
- Establish and coordinate network projects for office IT and OT, including the network scope of the remote-control programme.
- Direct projects on the Microsoft Dynamics and Power Apps platforms, aligning delivery with business needs and technical dependencies.
- Govern Azure projects and SaaS migrations, covering new applications in Azure and legacy environments moving to cloud services.
- Control budget, scope, milestones and timing across the programme, and deliver clear status reports to stakeholders.
- Identify risks and issues, maintain mitigation plans, and turn escalations into documented decisions.
- Align ICT staff and external partners, capture requirements and best practices, and maintain the documentation and processes needed for delivery.
