Presentation

The Federal Police is engaged in a large-scale digital and organizational transformation, aiming to modernize its processes, strengthen operational efficiency, and better meet the expectations of citizens and field services.

This transformation is led by the Digital Transformation Office (DTO), the true strategic engine of the organization, under the responsibility of the Digital Transformation Officer. The DTO defines the digital strategy, leads the transformation office, and ensures the alignment of all initiatives with the strategy of the Federal Police and Integrated Police.

Its action is based on three complementary pillars: IT, innovation, and intelligence (Data).

The DTO operates within a global transformation framework structured around five major axes:

• Framing and structuring initiatives (intake, program management, target operating model, legal aspects),
• Foundations and standardization, including IT infrastructure modernization, security, data integration, and stabilization of the fundamentals ("Fix the basics"),
• Transformation of business domains, both administrative and operational and citizen-oriented,
• Innovation, with the integration of emerging technologies, notably Artificial Intelligence,
• Cross-functional governance, ensuring coordination between steering bodies and operational units, as well as change management support.

You will join the DTO team within the Demand & Portfolio Management unit, in close collaboration with the Chief Technology Officer (CTO).

The CTO is responsible for the overall technological vision and the steering of digital transformation.

Within this framework, he has launched a mission aimed not only at analyzing, optimizing, and structuring IT activities, but also at regaining control of complex programs currently off track or insufficiently structured, with the objectives of improving effectiveness, efficiency, budget control, and clarifying responsibilities.

To support this approach, the CTO is seeking a Program Manager, whose main mission will be to:

• structure, secure, and recover critical IT programs,
• implement robust management based on analysis, prioritization, and risk management,
• restore clear governance in a potentially chaotic or fragmented context.
