You’re welcome to work in our offices in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Your responsibilities will include: 

Project Management 

• Lead cross-domain security initiatives through the full project lifecycle from project charter and scope definition through planning, execution, monitoring, and formal closure. 

• Develop and maintain comprehensive project management artifacts including project plans, work breakdown structures, RAID logs, decision registers, and lessons learned documentation. 

• Decompose complex security programs into clearly defined phases, milestones, deliverables, and interdependencies ensuring each workstream has a named owner and accountable timeline. 

• Manage all project tracking, scheduling, and portfolio visibility in Jira, maintaining board hygiene, accurate status, and executive-ready reporting at all times. 

Communication & Reporting 

• Produce consistent, accurate, and concise project status reports for the Head of PMO, CISO, and senior leadership surfacing progress, risks, decisions, and next steps with clarity. 

• Maintain a regular reporting cadence across all active projects, ensuring stakeholders are informed, aligned, and equipped to make timely decisions. 

• Adapt communication style, depth, and format to the audience from technical engineering teams to executive leadership and global cross-functional partners. 

• Document and distribute meeting outcomes, action items, and decision logs in a timely and structured manner. 

Focal Point for All Project Stakeholders 

• Serve as the primary point of contact and accountability for all project stakeholders across Security, IT, Engineering, Product, Legal, Privacy, and Finance. 

• Manage global stakeholders across multiple geographies and time zones maintaining alignment, managing expectations, and ensuring no party is out of sync with project status or direction. 

• Facilitate structured project governance including kick-off meetings, steering committees, cross-team syncs, and retrospectives. 

• Build and sustain effective working relationships with stakeholders at all levels, from individual contributors to C-suite executives. 

End-to-End Project Execution 

• Drive project execution from initiation to deployment and closure maintaining accountability for scope, schedule, quality, and delivery outcomes at every stage. 

• Coordinate execution across multiple teams simultaneously, ensuring dependencies are identified early, handoffs are clear, and momentum is sustained throughout the project lifecycle. 

• Proactively monitor delivery progress against baseline plans, forecast deviations before they materialize, and implement corrective actions to keep projects on track. 

• Ensure all project phases are formally initiated and closed with documented approvals, acceptance criteria, and sign-off from relevant stakeholders. 

Problem Solving & Risk Management 

• Identify, assess, and actively manage project risks, issues, and blockers maintaining a structured RAID log and driving mitigation actions to resolution. 

• Anticipate cross-team dependencies and organizational friction points ahead of time; broker solutions before they escalate into delivery-impacting issues. 

• Apply structured problem-solving approaches to unblock teams, resolve ambiguity, and maintain delivery velocity under pressure. 

• Escalate critical risks and decisions to the Head of PMO with full context, impact analysis, and a clear recommended course of action. 

We expect you to have: 

• 3–5 years of hands-on project management experience with a strong and demonstrable delivery track record in complex, cross-functional environments. 

• Proven ability to manage the full project lifecycle from initiation and planning through execution, deployment, and formal project closure.
