Do you bring policy, business and technology together? As a project leader at a Flemish government agency, you lead strategic data governance projects, help build the DataHub and the AI strategy, and guide colleagues in Power BI and responsible data use.
The organisation is a Flemish government agency that manages public infrastructure and land, stimulates economic activity, protects the population against natural hazards and develops recreational facilities.
As a project leader, you support the information management team with projects and change programmes around data governance, information management and digital collaboration, and you take on a leading and coordinating role in strategic projects. You move easily between strategy and execution, connect people and translate complex topics clearly and accessibly for the organisation.
- You lead and coordinate strategic projects, including the further development of the DataHub and data governance and the implementation of the AI strategy.
- You map needs and stakeholders, translate them into a feasible approach, monitor progress and ensure alignment between policy, business and technical partners.
- You guide employees and teams in responsible data use and sustainable information management.
- You develop and deliver practice-oriented training courses and awareness initiatives, covering topics such as data storytelling, Power BI, data quality and proper data management.
- You are responsible for the content-related and organisational coordination of the internal knowledge event: you draw up the programme, liaise with speakers and stakeholders, follow up on the practical organisation and ensure coherent communication.
You do not need to take on an in-depth developer role, but you do have sufficient technical insight to analyse functional needs and collaborate constructively with data owners, information managers, architects and analysts.
The assignment is set within a Microsoft 365-based digital workplace and an organisation-wide context of information and data governance. You work at the intersection of processes, information, data, technology and user adoption.
Key environments and topics include SharePoint and Teams for digital collaboration and information management, Power BI for reporting and data storytelling, the DataHub as a data catalogue for making data accessible and managing it, and applications of artificial intelligence within a responsible governance framework.
What makes this assignment exciting: you connect policy, business and technology and help roll out the organisation's DataHub and AI strategy.
