Assignment description

The Information Provision Directorate (IV) aims to make data integrally available and create more insight within the ministries of EZK and LVVN. As part of this ambition, work is underway on the development of a generic data model that will serve as the central configuration within the Concern Datawarehouse (CDWH). The CDWH is the central Datawarehouse within the EZK/LVVN concern and forms the basis for the operational information of the various executive agencies and concern components. The generic data model contributes to a uniform, manageable, and future-proof configuration of data provision.

The generic data model will fulfill the following objectives:

For the preparation of the implementation of the generic data model, we are looking for an experienced project leader. The project leader is responsible for drawing up a supported project plan that serves as the basis for the final implementation. The project leader will map the necessary activities, dependencies, governance, planning, and phasing, and ensure alignment with the involved stakeholders. The assignment requires a project leader who combines substantive knowledge of the data domain with strong organizational and communication skills.

Someone who can bring together different interests, create support, and is able to translate complex issues into a concrete and executable plan. The work will be carried out from the Dataservices team at IV, in close collaboration with the involved organizational components.

Background of the assignment

The IV Directorate supports the EZK and LVVN ministries with services in the field of information management, management of staffing & budgets, and support for projects, programs, and (implementation) processes. The Directorate primarily focuses on the core ministries and, outside the core ministries, follows the guideline 'central what is necessary, decentralized what is possible'. Within the IV Directorate, the Dataservices team has the central execution role to help the core ministries move forward in the transition to data-driven working.

The Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy, together with its partners, works towards an innovative and entrepreneurial Netherlands and a strong, resilient economy that offers opportunities for everyone. Entrepreneurs and companies must be able to count on a stable and predictable business climate. We continuously seek the best balance between the interests of companies, consumers, and the environment.
