Project Management Officer (m/f/x)

Here's what you'll be doing with us

As a PMO professional, you’ll help organize and manage large-scale projects and initiatives within the public broadcasting sector. A key example of this is helping to roll out the joint strategy of the NPO and the broadcasters. This means you’ll help various teams and project groups work together to achieve their goals. You’ll work closely with the strategic advisors and other team members, and you’ll be their go-to person for project-related advice and support. 

A sample of your responsibilities:  

• You will help plan and organize projects, such as setting goals, creating timelines, and determining what is needed to complete the project;
• You ensure that key stakeholders and teams are kept informed and involved in the project;
• If there are any issues with the schedule or the results, please note them and let the team know; 
• You can turn complex data into clear information that helps improve the project. 

You'll recognize yourself in this

• You have a college-level education and way of thinking;
• Your resume shows that you have several years of experience in a similar position;
• You can quickly grasp and understand complex situations;
• You have experience conducting complex analyses and making recommendations for improvement;
• You have up-to-date knowledge of project management methods.

As a PMO professional, you have a broad perspective and are a team player who is engaged, collaborative, and results-oriented. Your communication style is clear and pleasant.

You are confident, know what you want and what needs to be done, and are able to persevere in achieving your goals. You are quick to take the initiative and recognize the importance of gaining the support of project or program managers and their teams. You actively contribute ideas for solutions. Finally, you are able to communicate effectively both verbally and in writing.  

Strategy and Innovation Department

The Strategy and Innovation Department consists of two teams: the Strategy and Stakeholder Management Team and the Innovation Team. Among other things, the department is responsible for the strategy cycle carried out in collaboration with broadcasters, serves as the point of contact for several key partners of public broadcasting, and works to promote innovation within public broadcasting. The department has 14 employees. You will report directly to the Director of Strategy & Innovation.

• You will receive 200 vacation hours (based on a 36-hour workweek);
• We have an NPO Academy to help you further your professional development.

Open to everyone

The NPO has a public mission: to serve the interests of every individual and society as a whole. The needs of our audience—with all its diverse backgrounds and perspectives—are our guiding principle. We want this to be reflected in our organization’s workforce. We believe in an inclusive organization that harnesses the power of diversity to achieve even better results. Because it is precisely because we differ from one another that we can arrive at new insights and better solutions. We therefore welcome candidates who, through their background and experience, wish to contribute to this. When candidates are equally qualified, preference will be given to the candidate who strengthens diversity within the NPO in this way.
