  • Act as a trusted advisor, translating business needs into scalable, maintainable solutions.

What You Bring

  • Understanding of modern data architectures (e.g., lakehouse, semantic layers, self-service BI).

  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to bridge business and technical discussions.

  • Fluent in English; proficiency in Dutch and/or French is a strong plus.

  • Comfortable working in an international, multicultural environment.

What We Value

  • A hands-on mindset - someone who leads by doing.

  • A passion for enabling smarter decisions through data.

  • A pragmatic approach to solving complex problems.

  • Curiosity, adaptability, and a continuous improvement mindset.

  • Experience in the insurance or financial services sector is a plus.

What We Offer

  • A high-impact role with the autonomy to shape the organization's data strategy.

  • A collaborative, forward-thinking environment that values innovation and initiative.

  • Opportunities to contribute to international data initiatives and grow your global network.

  • Tailored learning and development opportunities to match your ambitions.
