Coordinating Information Management Advisor

As a Coordinating Advisor for Information Management at the RIVM, you will play a pivotal role in ensuring that information is sustainably accessible and responsibly shared. You will bridge the gap between policy, technology, and execution, empowering colleagues to work more consciously and efficiently with information. Your contributions will enhance public trust in science, government, and public health. In this role, you will confidently coordinate the execution of projects and tasks that strengthen the information management practices at RIVM, ensuring compliance with laws and regulations such as the Archiefwet (Archive Act) and Woo (Open Government Act). You will transform information management from a perceived burden into an essential aspect of daily operations. As a subject matter expert, you will be a strong partner in strategy discussions, helping to optimize information management and develop the team further. Your daily responsibilities will include coordinating the daily tasks within the Information Management & Archive team, coaching and advising colleagues on the implementation of new methodologies (e.g., Agile, MS365, and archiving-by-design), developing actionable policies, and providing strategic and operational advice to management and staff. You will actively seek collaboration across various departments, translate developments within the government into practical applications at RIVM, and identify improvement opportunities and risks proactively. You will work within the Sustainable Information Provisioning (DIV) department, part of the Communication & Sustainable Information Provisioning unit, which is dedicated to making information sustainably accessible, findable, and open. Your role will involve close collaboration with the Strategic Information Management Advisor, Senior Record Manager, and the head of DIV, as well as with the CIO, CDO, CISO organizations, legal departments, and operational teams. At RIVM, information management is not merely supportive; it is a critical function that ensures important decisions are traceable, data is readily available during crises, and knowledge and public accountability are preserved.
