🟣 You will be:

• leading large, complex software programs for international clients, from initiation through full delivery, with end-to-end accountability for outcomes, 

• defining and owning program governance, including decision-making structures, escalation paths, and reporting frameworks, 

• overseeing multi-stream program delivery, ensuring milestones are achieved within agreed timelines, scope, and budget, 

• managing dependencies and alignment across internal delivery teams and selected external partners, 

• proactively identifying program-level risks, defining mitigation strategies, and driving corrective actions where required, 

• establishing and executing structured change management processes, ensuring full traceability between requirements, scope, budget, and contractual agreements, 

• building strong, trust-based relationships with clients, sponsors, and key internal stakeholders, 

• mentoring and supporting Delivery Managers, ensuring alignment with program goals, delivery standards, and ways of working,

• proven experience leading large-scale IT or software programs (multi-year, multi-million EUR budgets) with full budget and delivery accountability, 

• experience managing distributed, multinational teams and collaborating with external vendors or partners, 

• strong communication, facilitation, and negotiation skills, particularly in complex stakeholder environments, 

• a high level of ownership and decisiveness, with the ability to operate independently and make informed trade-off decisions, 

• a pragmatic, problem-solving mindset with a focus on outcomes rather than process for its own sake,
