(24 - 28 hours per week, scale 10)

"Openness and transparency is part of civil service" 

"The responsibility for proper implementation of the Open Government Act in four organizations is in your hands. But that doesn't deter you. You make a meaningful impact on the municipalities of Son en Breugel, Nuenen and Geldrop-Mierlo. Do you enjoy working with colleagues in different organizations and bringing them together? Do you have good communication skills and are you able to enthuse others? Then the position of project leader Open Government Act within Dommelvallei municipalities is something for you! We would love to get in touch with you." - Jordy van Helmont, team manager Legal Affairs Geldrop-Mierlo

What is your challenge?

As project leader Woo, you will work for four organizations. The municipalities of Son en Breugel, Nuenen and Geldrop-Mierlo and their partnership Dienst Dommelvallei. In these four organizations you will work with your colleagues on three components within the Open Government Act:

  • Active disclosure. Through various tranches more and more information will be disclosed in the coming years. You are responsible for preparing and executing these tranches for the three municipalities and Service Dommelvallei.
  • Information Management. The Open Government Act requires us to have our information management in good order. Together with the relevant colleagues from Dienst Dommelvallei Health you will provide a good structural solution for our information management in relation to disclosure.
  • Passive Disclosure. You pick up Woo requests and, together with the subject department, shape their response. You have this task only for the municipality of Geldrop-Mierlo.

From your role, you will direct the various working groups dealing with the Woo. You will also monitor the progress of the various components of the Woo. In terms of content, various experts from communication, legal affairs and ICT are involved in various working groups and your input is also required.

In addition, you are responsible for proper communication and awareness of the active disclosure of government information within our organizations. You provide appropriate guidance to colleagues in all organizations and are able to translate the sometimes substantively complex subject matter to others.

Who are you?

You are enthusiastic, entrepreneurial and work from the connection with others. As project leader Woo, it is important that you can work independently, while being a real team player. You move easily and visibly through a complex environment in which you work for different organizations. In this environment you know how to keep an overview, manage progress and hold colleagues accountable for their tasks and responsibilities. You work to embed transparency in the organizational culture. Your commitment is crucial to strengthen cooperation with society and facilitate social initiatives.

You are a proactive colleague who is able to translate the steps within the implementation of the Open Government Act into working groups, communication tools and processes. You have an HBO+ working and thinking level. The diversity of your work means that you have both a communications and legal background that you can fall back on. You are also no stranger to improving and embedding processes within an organization.
