## Description

As the Group IT Governance Manager, you own the way our Group IT department, known internally as Process and Data Technology, is organized, managed and controlled. You will be based at our Group Headquarters in Turnhout, Belgium, report to the VP Process and Data Technology, and travel only occasionally.

You define and continuously improve the governance framework for the department: governance principles, decision rights, roles and accountabilities, key IT management processes, internal procedures and the IT function house. You also set the project governance approach for Group IT initiatives, from intake and prioritization through status reporting, decision forums and escalation, and you maintain an integrated view of the project portfolio so leadership has visibility on scope, risks, resources and progress.

Together with internal control, compliance, procurement and finance, you coordinate the lifecycle of IT-related policies, monitor how they are applied, and support budget follow-up and cost transparency. Throughout, your focus is on translating governance into ways of working that teams recognise and apply in their daily work.
