Project Manager

We are looking for a Project Manager with capability of working within the domains of strategy, as support to the Office of the Executive Board, and a core service provider of Portfolio, Program and Project Management practices for the PMO, ensuring initiatives are prioritized to organization’s objectives and work is carried through to successful completion. Are you interested in dealing with business initiatives within a top-tier international law and tax firm? Then this position as Project Manager could be the next step in your career.

What will you do?

The Project Manager will report to the Head of PMO (3 FTE) and will be responsible for delivery of projects or clearly defined programs within the Project Management Office (PMO). The role translates agreed objectives, scope and strategic intent into executable plans and ensures delivery within predefined constraints.

This Project Manager role is deliberately defined without reference to a single delivery discipline and expected to operate across strategic support, portfolio management, program management and project management, with specific focus varying depending on the initiative and organizational priorities. The ideal candidate retains strong analytical, governance and structuring skills, while taking ownership of delivery, stakeholder alignment and execution outcomes.

In this role, the Project Manager will work in multidisciplinary project teams and is accountable for planning, execution, risk and dependency management, stakeholder coordination and adoption activities. The focus is on delivery excellence within largely bound problem spaces, where objectives and success criteria are typically clear at the outset. Where required, the Project Manager escalates ambiguity or strategic trade-offs or takes ownership of these directly. Strategic formulation, portfolio prioritization and ultimate responsibility for PMO capabilities remain with the Head of PMO. Appointment to the Project Manager role assumes demonstrated capability to operate at PMO Analyst level across strategic, portfolio and delivery contexts.

What do you bring?

You are results-driven with portfolio, program and project management skills, strategic insight and a hands-on mindset. You can navigate complexity and multidisciplinary organization transformation projects while considering the systemic and behavioral aspects of change and can act independently within the mentioned practice areas of a PMO. You also bring:

• At least 3–5 years of relevant experience in portfolio, program, and project management, preferably in professional services or international organizations
• Essential skills including planning, coordination, stakeholder management and risk handling
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills
• Fluency in Dutch and English
• A completed higher professional (HBO) or academic (WO) degree
• Project management certifications

Please note that relocation is not supported for this position.

What do we offer?

We offer a role in which you are accountable for delivery results and coordinating multidisciplinary teams. You will have the opportunity to take ownership, create impact, and continue to grow in a professional, high-performance and international environment. Our employment contract is based on a set of core principles:

• Dutch employment contract
• Holiday allowance
• Collective bonus scheme
• Mobility plan
• Personal development opportunities
• Flexible working arrangements

Who is the team?
