1) Stakeholder management 

As a Project Manager, you are ultimately responsible for building and maintaining strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders (Courts and Tribunals, Public Prosecution Service, Regions, FPS Mobility, VVSG, police). You are responsible for clear communication regarding project progress and expectations. It is your job to find a balance between sometimes conflicting interests and to gain the necessary support for the project to be successful.  

There are many stakeholders in the "Cross-border Directive" project where it is extremely important that you communicate clearly to the various stakeholders and ensure that everyone is aligned. 

2) Project management 

You will be responsible for the entire project management process, from the start to the completion of the project. This includes creating a detailed project plan that includes deadlines, deliverables, milestones, and resource planning. You are also able to draw up a roadmap in collaboration with various partners. You closely monitor the progress of the project and make timely adjustments where necessary. You also ensure that the project meets all the requirements, both technical and organizational. The final responsibility for achieving the project goals lies with you. You will also organize and lead the project team, providing the necessary guidance and feedback. You coordinate the validations and guarantee the quality of the team's delivered work. You will also ensure the exchange and dissemination of information within the team, with management and other project teams.  

For the Highway Code Revision project and the Cross-border Directive Revision project, there are legal deadlines where it is very important that these deadlines are monitored and that you are expected to make adjustments if you see that these deadlines would not be met. 

3) Budget management 

As a Project Manager, you are responsible for drawing up and managing the project budget. You will make accurate cost estimates and keep an eye on the financial health of the project throughout its lifespan. It's your job to predict potential cost overruns and intervene in time to keep the budget under control, without compromising the quality of the project. In addition, you regularly report on the financial status to management.  

4) Communication 

You have strong communication skills, both verbal and written. Clear, consistent and effective communication is an essential part of your role. You will ensure that all parties involved, from stakeholders, team members to senior management, are well informed about the project's progress, challenges and successes. You do this through reports, meetings, emails and dashboards.  

5) Software Management 

You have knowledge of Confluence, Jira,... for project management and data exchange. This means that you are familiar with the functionalities of these platforms and know how to integrate them effectively into the project workflow.  

7) Datafluxen 

You will be responsible for managing and optimizing various data flows, with a focus on data security and compliance with laws and regulations. You define the data fluxes, assign responsibilities for data entry and management, and ensure that data remains up-to-date and accurate.
