A Belgian federal public administration is running a major digital transformation program to modernize its business applications, strengthen collaboration between teams, and build a more integrated, agile IT landscape.
- The program is organized into domains, each led by a Domain Delivery Lead who brings several agile squads together around one vision.
- Domain Delivery Leads are being recruited, each owning one domain of the program, such as:
- The cross-domain technical backbone for integration, releases, cloud, DevOps, security, and data migration.
- A high-profile, politically sensitive public service domain.
- A domain delivering strategic applications behind core public services.
- These are senior delivery and program management roles. You lead through influence, clarity of vision, and trust rather than control. You will not be writing code or building infrastructure; you make it possible for several agile teams to deliver.
What you will do.
- Unite several agile squads around a shared vision and keep business and team priorities aligned.
- Create the conditions for autonomy and coach teams towards maturity (servant leadership).
- Build the overall plan with the teams, manage cross-team dependencies, and arbitrate priorities transparently.
- Run domain rituals: cross-team syncs, reviews, and retrospectives.
- Remove blockers by connecting the teams with the business, IT, and other domains.
- Manage change requests, report progress and risks to governance bodies, and escalate in good time.
- Manage suppliers as partners and own the domain budget.
What they are looking for.
- A builder, not a caretaker: someone who likes to create, evolve, and unite teams, brings fresh ideas, and challenges existing practices.
- A servant leader: you lead through trust, remove obstacles, and help squads grow in autonomy.
- A strong business-to-IT translator: you explain complex IT in simple business language and turn policy and business needs into a clear roadmap.
- Proven at scale in the public sector: multiple squads, budgets, and capacity on large digital transformations, ideally in government.
Profile
- 10+ years in a similar role, coordinating and steering multiple teams.
- 5+ years of Agile delivery in complex IT environments.
- 10+ years of project experience with complex stakeholder management on digitalization projects.
- 10+ years of project team leadership.
- A business-to-IT bridge background, such as senior Product Owner, Business Relationship Manager, or Program Director.
- Leading large multidisciplinary teams split across several squads.
- Budget and capacity management within public budget envelopes.
