Function

Your efforts translate directly into tangible results: better decision-making, more efficient processes, and stronger service delivery for citizens and housing stakeholders.

- Collaborate closely with various internal teams (Business Analysts, Developers, etc.) and external parties (e.g., vendors, Digital Flanders, other entities within the Flemish government, housing companies) to ensure successful project delivery.
- Manage additional project-related aspects, such as communication, training, and change management, as needed.
