BelgiumWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Business & Fonctionnel Analyst with 9+ years of experience delivering IT projects across public and institutional settings in Belgium. I specialize in functional and technical analysis, translating business needs into clear requirements, and ensuring EU compliance in multi-actor, critical environments (identity, social security, healthcare insurance).
In my recent role at the Service Public Fédéral Intérieur, I analyze and scope regulatory needs (eIDAS/EU), write functional specifications, facilitate business workshops (story mapping and process modeling), and coordinate with technical teams to align business/IT. I drive feasibility assessments, change management (CR), and functional tests/UAT—while consistently addressing GDPR, PKI considerations, and ISO 27001 production controls; I’ve also contributed to major European and Belgian projects spanning secure digital citizen identification, remote digital signatures, and key social and healthcare systems.
