Domain Delivery Lead

About the mandate

Within a large digital transformation programme of a public sector organisation in Brussels, you modernise the business applications together with several agile teams (squads). You act as project leader and Domain Lead: you lead through influence, a clear vision and trust, and you make sure the teams can deliver value to the business. The assignment runs from 7 December 2026 to 7 March 2027, with partial remote working. You build, grow and unite, rather than just maintaining what already exists. You work with multidisciplinary teams and a wide range of stakeholders, translate an ambitious vision into concrete results, and have room to propose new ways of working and to question existing practices.

Responsibilities

• Unite several agile teams (squads) around a shared vision and objectives, and align the priorities of the business and the teams
• Create the conditions for autonomy: define a clear framework, leave decisions close to the teams and let them grow in maturity (servant leadership)
• Draw up the overall planning together with the teams, coordinate dependencies and weigh priorities transparently
• Facilitate the domain's rituals, such as synchronisations between teams, reviews and retrospectives, and encourage the sharing of good practices
• Identify and remove obstacles for the teams, and ensure smooth collaboration with other teams, the business and IT
• Coach and develop people and maintain a culture of trust, transparency and continuous improvement
• Manage the project's change requests with the stakeholders and report regularly on progress, risks and difficulties, with timely escalation of significant deviations
• Follow up suppliers as true partners and manage the budget

• Scrum and ITIL certification
• Experience as a bridge between business and IT (for example as Product Owner, Business Relationship Manager or programme director), leading large multidisciplinary teams spread across autonomous squads
• Experience with budget and capacity management within public budgets, and knowledge of project management methods, governance and delivery
• Technical knowledge of integration patterns (API, messaging, batch), release and environment management (DTAP), Azure cloud, Kubernetes, GitOps, Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD, NIS2 and GDPR, and data flows and data migration; advanced in Azure DevOps
