• Set up and lead steering committees, ensuring senior stakeholders receive clear, timely information to make informed decisions.
• Coordinate workstreams and teams across multiple countries, aligning local realities with overall programme objectives and timeline.
• Anticipate risks and roadblocks proactively, bringing forward-looking options and solutions rather than waiting for issues to escalate.
• Actively listen to country teams, business stakeholders and delivery teams, adapting the programme approach based on their input and constraints.
• Track and report on programme benefits, budget, risks and progress, ensuring transparency towards executive management.
• Champion change management practices to support adoption of new structures, processes and ways of working across countries.

• Must-have skills and experience:
• Proven experience managing large, complex programmes across multiple countries and business units.
• Hands-on experience managing M&A-related programmes (carve-outs, integrations, post-merger harmonisation).
• Strong command of programme governance: structuring plans and schedules, and leading steering committees at senior management level.
• A proactive, solution-oriented mindset, someone who looks forward, anticipates issues and proposes solutions rather than simply executing tasks.
• Excellent listening skills, genuinely engaging with stakeholders' concerns and adapting the programme approach accordingly.
• Strong analytical and organisational skills, able to structure ambiguity into clear plans, milestones and decisions.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English, French or Dutch is an asset.
• Nice-to-have:
• Programme or project management certification, for example MSP, PMP, Prince2 or equivalent.
• Experience with PPM tools, for example MS Project, Planview, Clarity.
• Exposure to Agile or hybrid delivery methods alongside traditional programme governance.
• Additional European language skills.

• Work in a collaborative, international environment with genuine cross-border impact, combining client context with Keystone’s best practices in governance and change.
