In a constant concern for innovation, performance and public service, ETNIC regularly collaborates with external partners to strengthen its teams through IT consultancy missions. These collaborations are part of an ethical, professional framework oriented towards the quality and concrete impact of the solutions delivered.
2. Mission
Within the ETNIC project management unit, in close collaboration with the “Security & Privacy Operational Taskforce” (SPOT) team and under the supervision of the Information Security Advisor, the NIS2 Project Manager manages an end-to-end portfolio of 3 cross-functional projects with a cybersecurity orientation: • Business continuity & recovery (BCP / DRP – RTO/RPO) • Transversal traceability (SIEM / SOC) • Supply Chain & data management subcontractors (MAP)
 
3. Activities
Main responsibilities:
1) Framing & planning: define scope, objectives, milestones, deliverables, detailed schedule, workload plan and communication plan for each project.2) Budgetary & financial management: establish and monitor budgets, negotiate envelopes with sponsors, produce gap analyzes (committed vs. planned costs) and guarantee control of ROI.3) Risk management & dependencies: maintain a structured RAID log, manage inter-project dependencies, anticipate critical paths and trigger mitigation plans.4) Operational management & reporting: lead COPILs, workshops, COPOR and CODIR, consolidate management reporting and formalize cost–delay–quality trade-offs.5) Coordination of the cybersecurity component: manage, in conjunction with SPOT, the security base projects (SIEM/SOC traceability, RTO/RPO/DRP/BCP continuity) and guarantee their integration into the overall planning.
 
Methodology & tools: mobilize appropriate approaches (V-cycle, Agile, hybrid) and PMI/PMBOK and PRINCE2 standards; produce and maintain structuring documents (project charter, PMP, WBS, RAID log, decision register); set up rituals (stand-up, milestone reviews, retrospectives)
 
Animation of stakeholders: act as a facilitator and agent of influence with regard to the development, infrastructure, network, business and security teams; translate technical (and security) requirements into concrete actions; negotiate arbitrations and deadlines by arguing via “technical debt” and the “cost of non-quality”; translate technical issues into business risks (unavailability, schedule drift, non-compliance, reputation) to obtain buy-in and prioritization.
