A public-sector IT operator that builds and maintains infrastructure and business applications for French-speaking public administrations runs a dedicated cybersecurity portfolio to meet new regulatory and resilience requirements. This position exists to coordinate three transversal cybersecurity projects — business continuity and disaster recovery, SIEM/SOC traceability, and supply chain/subcontractor governance — using Agile and PMBOK/PRINCE2 delivery practices.
The mission
The programme sits inside the organisation's project steering office and works closely with the Security & Privacy Operational Taskforce (SPOT) and the information security advisor. The technical landscape includes on-premise data centres, cloud-hosted services, a central SIEM platform, and an evolving supplier ecosystem; the three projects affect cross-cutting teams in development, infrastructure, network and operations and target measurable improvements in resilience and traceability.
Day-to-day you will own end-to-end delivery for a portfolio of three concurrent projects: defining scope and milestones, maintaining a consolidated programme plan in MS-Project, running financial controls and driving interoperability between SIEM/SOC, BCP/DRP and supplier management workstreams. You will run steering committees and stakeholder workshops, translate security requirements into delivery tasks, and ensure risks and dependencies are visible and mitigated across teams.
Your responsibilities
- Lead end-to-end programme planning and governance for the cybersecurity portfolio, delivering agreed scope, schedule and quality outcomes
- Drive financial oversight and ROI analysis, producing variance reports and negotiating budget envelopes with project sponsors
- Manage risks, dependencies and the RAID log to prevent cross-project critical path issues and trigger mitigation actions early
- Facilitate cross-functional decision making through COPIL, COPOR and operational review meetings, converting technical trade-offs into business impact assessments
- Coordinate SIEM/SOC integration, BCP/DRP readiness and supplier governance so security controls are embedded in delivery schedules
- Establish and maintain programme artefacts and delivery rituals, using PMBOK/PRINCE2 templates, MS-Project schedules and Agile ceremonies where appropriate
