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 frontline services.

This transformation is led by the Digital Transformation Office (DTO), a true strategic engine of the organization, under the responsibility of the Digital Transformation Officer. The DTO defines the digital strategy, steers the transformation office, and ensures alignment of all initiatives 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 initiatives (intake, program management, target operating model, legal aspects),
• Foundations and standardization, including IT infrastructure modernization, security, data integration, and stabilization of fundamentals ("Fix the basics"),
• Transformation of business domains, both administrative and operational, as well as 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 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. 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 clarification of responsibilities.

To support this approach, the CTO is looking for a Strategic Demand Manager whose main mission will initially consist of strengthening the activities of structuring, analyzing, and prioritizing IT requests, in compliance with the budgetary framework, public procurement regulations, and organizational capacities, in order to prepare and substantiate decisions to be made by governance bodies.
