Infrastructure Project Manager

About the mandate

For a large organisation in Schaerbeek, you will strengthen two technical teams as an Infrastructure Project Manager: the App team (stack, API, integration and middleware) and the Databases team. The engineers know their subject matter, but they need someone to take on the organisation and communication around their work. Network and network security fall outside this role. You take over stakeholder management, planning and communication, which eases the workload of the experts. You follow up on actions strictly, adjust course where needed and make sure deliveries are met. You are also the first point of contact for the team, so that the specialists can focus on their core technical tasks.

• Align expectations and progress with the internal teams and with the business
