Presentation

The Federal Police is engaged in a large-scale digital and organizational transformation, aimed at modernizing its processes, strengthening operational efficiency, and better meeting the expectations of citizens and field services.

This transformation is led by the Digital Transformation Office (DTO), a true strategic driver of the organization, under the responsibility of the Digital Transformation Officer. The DTO defines the digital strategy, leads the transformation office, and ensures that all initiatives are aligned with the strategy of the Federal Police and the 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 of initiatives (intake, program management, target operating model, legal aspects)
• Foundations and standardization, including modernization of IT infrastructures, security, data integration, and stabilization of 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 support for change management

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

The CTO is responsible for the overall technological vision and steering the digital transformation. In this context, he has launched a mission to analyze, optimize, and structure IT activities, with the objectives of improving efficiency, effectiveness, budget control, and clarifying responsibilities.

To support this approach, the CTO is seeking a Program Manager – CTO Office, whose primary mission will initially consist of strengthening activities related to mapping, process modeling, and planning of IT initiatives.
