Project Manager

A job at Proximus? You'll find that everything revolves around the idea 'Think Possible'. This means: we always assume that something is possible, even if it seems impossible. Well, especially so, actually. Call it a way of thinking that involves being open to a world of digital solutions that make our lives easier. And our way of working smarter.

 

The Architecture, IT Strategy & Program management (ASP) Chapter Area within Digital Transformation & IT (DTI) aims among others at providing Proximus with outstanding program and project management capabilities, enabling our business to deliver high quality products and services to our customers.

As Project Manager you will be responsible to plan and steer implementation of IT development initiatives across different tribes within budget, in line with continuous delivery practices and with the desired outcome. The Project Manager is assigned to an agile Tribe or Key Initiative and works with one or more squad(s) of that Tribe or Key Initiative. Within the Tribe or Key Initiative, the project manager is responsible for the planning and steering of the implementation of epics with impact on multiple (enabling) tribes.

Projects may concern among others the rollout of Fiber and 5G but also projects aimed at making Proximus a 'diginative' company for our employees and all our customers.

Roles and responsibilities:

• The project manager is accountable for delivering his epics in time, on budget and in scope with the needed quality to ensure a successful launch.

• Familiar with Agile Project management methodologies.
• You are mastering the following soft skills: communication skills, organising, problem solving, priority setting and agile mindset.
• You are open minded, eager to learn, a team player and you are able to interact with a variety of teams across the whole company.
• Ability to deal with ambiguity and handle conflicts (interpersonal skills, diplomacy, serene debate).
• Can facilitate large meetings, workshops, and presentations to senior management.
• Work autonomously and prioritize own time when working on multiple tasks for multiple teams.
• Be proactive on issues & risks and strongly result driven.
• You are fluent (spoken and written) in English, Dutch and French.
• You are familiar with Microsoft Office.

Naturally we have a competitive salary package for you. But there is so much more!

• We are 100% Belgian. So we make decisions in three languages. And all at the same time if you like!
• We are open to everyone: M, W, X, and in fact all the other letters of the alphabet.
• We encourage personal growth. At the Proximus Academy, you won't even want to miss a session.
• We are, of course, committed to sustainability. What else did you think?
• We firmly believe that working together is important, but that having fun together is even more so. That is why we regularly organise fun activities. (Please let us know if you have a talent for playing Santa Claus!)
• We believe in responsibility. Also in yours. For example, you can take it to launch your own initiatives.
• We put our customers first. And because we are all customers somewhere, you already know what that means. That's good.
• And the ever-important work-life balance? We keep it in the right place.

In a nutshell … We offer you a job full of opportunities to grow and learn, a job that will push you forward, as you shape the digital future with us. And in doing so, you might achieve more than you thought possible. Are you a professional who thinks like this? Someone who sees solutions where others only see obstacles. Then you are a talent that can still grow with us. Every day.
