**About this vacancy**

**It's the onsite job in Amsterdam, you have to be in NL already!**
The impact of digitization on companies goes far beyond process optimization: it has become part of their strategy. The value of data is greater than ever, thanks in part to the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT). The demand for reliable environments to exchange data is growing enormously. This company leads large national and international projects in which they develop and implement innovative knowledge in collaboration with a wide variety of parties.

**What are you going to do?**

As a project manager you will work on complex research projects and consultancy assignments of the Data Ecosystems department. All projects aim to develop and/or apply knowledge regarding innovative data ecosystems with which data can be shared carefree, safely and in a controlled manner.

The Data Ecosystems department has top experts when it comes to developing innovative methodologies for exchanging data in complex collaborations. Company is at the forefront of the development of guidelines and platforms for data sharing, encryption, secure multi-party computation, semantics, federated systems, FAIR and data sovereignty, so that we can be a valuable guide for organizations for all kinds of data issues. They work in various sectors, such as logistics, smart industry, health and energy and in both national and international projects where standardization and knowledge are developed.

As a project manager you are the link between the company and the outside world, where you are the point of contact for large international organisations, SMEs and sector organisations.
Under your leadership, the projects are successfully delivered: You ensure that our clients are satisfied, that we adhere to contract agreements and that we achieve our research goals within budget. In the meantime, you pay attention to good publicity and you stimulate a maximum learning effect among your substantive colleagues. How you handle all this is up to you. You get a lot of freedom to work in a way that you like. In addition, there is room to spar and exchange experiences with other project leaders.

On average, project leaders at Data Ecosystems run about four projects or programs simultaneously. That means a lot of variety! As an experienced project manager, you will be involved in larger and more complex projects. For example, you get to work on multidisciplinary projects that transcend your team, department or even the unit. Or leading projects in which we collaborate with other research institutions in a European consortium. In short: enough room for your growth as a project leader.

**What we expect from you**

You are a real organizer, driver and connector. You find it a challenge to get complex projects on track and to bring them to a successful conclusion together with a team. You speak the language of the technical professionals, but you also know how to convince customers in communication. For example, we can safely leave a presentation of research results to you. You are a networker, team player and communicative. If the situation calls for it, you can take the lead and bring people with you. Collaboration issues are no stranger to you. You quickly find your way in administrative systems, so that you can monitor your projects properly.

**What else you bring:**

- From 5 years of relevant work experience, of which at least 3 years as a project leader in a research environment/innovative projects and leading projects in public-private partnerships.
- A master's degree in a relevant field, such as computer science, business information systems, business informatics, technical business administration, industrial engineering, or operational research.
- Preferably an IPMA certification. If you don't have one yet, you can follow the training.
- You have experience with complex collaboration issues.
- Affinity with one of the following sectors: Industrial sector, logistics, mobility or energy.
- Experience with Agile method and experience with SAFe is a plus.
- You have excellent oral and written skills in both Dutch and English.
- The drive and potential to (further) develop your team and yourself.

**Offer**

Challenging and varied work with serious impact. And plenty of opportunities, because at this company you are largely in control of your career. In addition to a nice gross (full-time) monthly salary (depending on your knowledge and experience), holiday allowance, a thirteenth month, and a flex budget, you will have every opportunity to develop yourself.
