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 driven 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 that all initiatives align 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 areas:

• Framing and structuring of initiatives (intake, program management, target operating model, legal aspects),
• Foundations and standardization, including the modernization of IT infrastructures, security, data integration, and the 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.

The modernization and migration program for databases is a major strategic initiative, covering both the decommissioning of critical legacy environments (mainframe) and the implementation of new modern platforms that support the functioning of Integrated Police applications. To support this project, we are looking for a Project Manager.

They will be responsible for developing a schedule for the different migration steps to meet the project implementation deadlines, distributing tasks among the various technical teams, ensuring prioritization that matches strategic objectives, and making sure the deliverables provide real added value to the organization. The sought-after profile will join a newly forming PMO team.

Mission

We are looking for a Project profile for a multi-year mission, who enjoys large-scale challenges and knows how to combine strategic vision with execution rigor. The stakes of this project are at the core of the modernization of IT systems that support the daily work of thousands of police officers in the field. A concrete impact, at the scale of an entire organization.

The mission will mainly consist of:

• Leading the project by defining a realistic and clear roadmap, providing an overview of the entire project.
• Arbitrating operational priorities and the order of different tasks pragmatically, to ensure resources are used on the most critical topics.
• Anticipating risks: identifying potential risks (delays, unforeseen costs, lack of resources) and being able to communicate them concisely to management.
• Streamlining dependencies: coordinating interactions between different teams and facilitating change management by making objectives tangible.
• Governance: ensuring governance by bringing together the right stakeholders for decision-making and being able to regularly report strategic progress to the hierarchy.

Collaborate with technical teams: work daily with technical teams, unblock inefficiencies to facilitate project progress.
