Would you like to join the leading international intergovernmental organization?

This is project management where outcomes matter more than checklists. You will lead IT projects that directly impact NATO’s operational readiness - from shaping scope and managing resources to navigating the financial and political nuances of multinational defense.

You’re not just keeping things on track. You’re translating complex requirements into clear plans, aligning stakeholders across borders, and delivering capabilities that enable security and collaboration. You’ll work hands-on with tools like ServiceNow and JIRA, communicate with clarity in Visio and PowerPoint, and lead with a focus on what’s mission-critical.
