Project Support Officer — Data Discovery Programme for NATO with security clearance

Before data can be brought into a platform, somebody has to find it, agree it and write down what was agreed. That is this role: a discovery lead who is equally comfortable running a site survey, chairing a governance session and keeping a clean paper trail. What you would be doing Leading discovery across roughly 155 internal data source owners — arranging the survey, running the kick-off, gathering what exists at each site and getting the report validated. Facilitating escalation when a site stalls. Preparing the introductory and discovery material that makes those conversations short. Evaluating candidate sources for how applicable and reliable they are, and spotting the ones that would genuinely improve the picture. Representing the programme to stakeholders — presenting, explaining progress and direction, and being the person other organisations recognise. Hosting governance sessions and keeping an unambiguous record of risks, actions, dependencies, decisions, issues and audits, plus the repository of data delivery agreements. What you would bring Project management or business analysis experience, and time on both the supplier side and the public sector customer side. Prince2 Foundation, or convincing experience of running work packages without it. Care with classified and mission-critical information. Communication and stakeholder skills that work with government bodies, partners and industry. Professional English at full working level. A habit of asking the awkward question early rather than late. The assignment is on-site near Brussels.
