Join a large-scale modernization program that’s redefining Belgium’s pension system. You’ll coordinate several key projects within the “Arizona Reform Program”, ensuring new legislation is translated into real-world impact through improved processes, IT systems, and communication to citizens.

As Senior Project Manager, you bridge the gap between policy, business, and technology. You provide structure, clarity, and momentum — leading teams, facilitating decision-making, and ensuring every initiative stays aligned with strategic and legal objectives.

Your Role

  • You coordinate and monitor the planning, execution, and delivery of multiple projects under the reform program.
  • You act as the link between business and IT, translating new pension laws into operational solutions.
  • You manage budgets, planning, and resources while keeping scope and priorities under control.
  • You ensure transparent reporting to domain and program steering groups.
  • You lead change management initiatives and guide internal project teams to strengthen their delivery capability.
