How do you turn a visionary product roadmap into a synchronized, high-velocity execution engine? That is the question you will answer every day.
As our Head of I&D Projects, you will lead and consolidate our Project Management Office (PMO). You’ll be the bridge between complex hardware/software engineering and global market delivery, ensuring we hit our mark on time, on cost, and on quality (OTOCOQ). If you thrive on optimizing resource capacity and turning technical complexity into strategic clarity, you’ve found your next challenge.
Responsibilities- Lead and coach a team of high-performing Project Managers, fostering a culture of extreme ownership and psychological safety.

- Own the I&D Resource Map, conducting strategic capacity planning to balance workloads across Engineering, SW, and Innovation teams.
- Secure necessary internal investments or external partnerships by identifying talent and infrastructure gaps.
- Mitigate macro-level risks, from technical blockers to supply chain delays, in close collaboration with project leads.
- Ensure all I&D outputs meet international regulations and internal quality protocols.
- Manage the total I&D budget, tracking Capex/Opex and providing accurate financial forecasts to leadership.
- Serve as the primary liaison to the Executive Team, translating technical milestones into strategic business updates.
- You hold a BEng/MSc in Engineering or Computer Science and have spent 10+ years in high-tech I&D (with at least 5 years in a senior leadership/PMO role).
- You have a proven track record of bringing physical products to global markets through integrated HW/SW development cycles.
- You are a master of PM tools (Jira, MS Project, Azure DevOps) and use data to forecast timelines and resource needs with confidence.
- You are assertive yet collaborative, able to hold technical teams to strict deadlines while keeping morale and engagement high.
- You are fluent in English. Since we are based in the Netherlands, fluency in Dutch is highly appreciated.
We realize that this is quite the list and people come with various levels of experience. Don't be afraid to apply even if you feel you don't meet every desired skill. Our mission is a journey and there's plenty to learn on the way! But of course, you should identify with our core values: We trust, We own it & We aim high.
What's in it for you- Working for a Great Place to Work® certified company;
