Senior Project Managers Locations

Who we are

For more than 70 years, NATO’s mission has been to preserve peace and security in the Alliance for nearly one billion citizens. The NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCI Agency) and its predecessors have worked tirelessly in providing the means that enable the connectedness and togetherness that keep our Alliance strong. We are the NCI Agency, a team of 3000 civilian and military staff in 29 locations throughout Europe, North America and Asia.

Our technology and cyber experts allow NATO to conduct critical operations, protect NATO’s airspace, make data-driven decisions, defend against cyber-attacks, secure NATO networks and maintain superiority in space. This is all possible because of our greatest force, our people. In order to keep this edge we aim to hire, train and retain the very best staff.

Our staff members represent both the diversity and unity of our Alliance. When you join the NCI Agency, you will be part of an organization where you can contribute authentically to the mission and purpose of NATO and help us keep our technological edge.

We are seeking experienced Project Managers at G15 and G17 level to join the NCIA in The Hague, Netherlands.

These roles operate within complex organisational and governance environments and involve the delivery of projects that support NATO capabilities across digital, operational and business domains. Successful candidates will be expected to demonstrate practical, hands-on experience in delivering projects within defined scope, cost, schedule and assurance frameworks.

Depending on grade and assignment, responsibilities will include:

• Leading the full delivery lifecycle of one or more projects from initiation through to formal closure using recognised project management methods and tools.
• Developing and maintaining integrated project plans covering scope, schedule, cost, quality, risk and communications.
• Managing stakeholder engagement, expectations and decision-making across internal and external parties.
• Identifying, assessing and managing risks and authorised changes, including impact analysis and mitigation.
• Monitoring supplier and contractual performance in coordination with assigned contract officers.
• Producing accurate project status, cost and performance reports in line with governance and assurance requirements.
• Capturing lessons learned and contributing to continuous improvement of project management practices.

At G17 level, candidates are expected to demonstrate greater autonomy, accountability and experience managing more complex delivery environments.

At G15 level, candidates may deliver projects of lower to moderate complexity or operate under direction while building towards greater ownership.

This recruitment is being conducted as a grouped campaign to establish a pool of Project Management professionals for deployment across multiple NCIA organisational elements. Candidates found suitable may be considered for current and future vacancies based on organisational needs.
