About the role

  • Needs analysis & strategy: Structured capture and analysis of complex business requirements and translation of these into sustainable data strategies.
  • Data architecture & solution design: Conceptual design and modeling of data structures that serve as the foundation for meaningful analyses and business-critical applications.
  • Process optimization & quality assurance: Ensuring excellent data quality by defining standards and monitoring automated workflows to guarantee reliable insights.
  • Data integration & orchestration: Strategic connection and harmonization of diverse data sources (e.g., APIs, ERP systems, cloud databases) to create a consolidated "Single Source of Truth".
  • Stakeholder management & agile delivery: Actively managing projects in close coordination with clients and the development team using agile methods (prototyping, MVPs) — from the initial workshop to roll-out.

Requirements

  • Professional experience: At least 2 years of solid experience at the intersection of business and data, ideally in implementing complex data engineering use cases within a consulting environment.

  • Tech stack: Confident use of SQL and solid knowledge of at least one additional programming language (preferably Python) to not only understand but actively shape data models.
  • Technology affinity: Ideally you bring experience with modern cloud ecosystems (AWS, Azure, GCP), Databricks or big-data technologies, and have an eye for effective data visualization.
  • Agile mindset: You are confident applying agile methods (Scrum, Kanban) and value iterative work in customer-focused projects.
