Are you a strategic thinker with a background in data - and ready to step away from hands-on coding?
We're looking for a Data Strategist who thrives at the intersection of business, data, and storytelling to help shape the future of AI-driven decision making in a fast-growing organization.

About the Role

You'll join a cross-functional AI team.
As a Data Strategist, you will work closely with Data Scientists, Product Owners, and Tech Leads to translate business needs into strategic data initiatives and drive them forward with vision and clarity.

  • Translate business requirements into actionable data-driven initiatives
  • Engage with stakeholders across departments to align on value and priorities
  • Deliver compelling presentations and strategic storytelling that resonate
  • Help ensure alignment between business, data, and technology

 

Who You Are

  • You have a strong background in data or BI, ideally 5+ years, but are looking to move into a more strategic and business-facing role
  • You understand the language of both business and tech, even if you're not hands-on anymore
  • You have strong communication skills and enjoy working with people
  • You're comfortable with project thinking, value creation, and prioritization

Nice to Have

  • Experience in consulting, ideally at a Big 4 or similar environment
  • Familiarity with cloud and data tools (e.g., AWS, Snowflake, Terraform)
  • Knowledge of BI tools (Power BI, Tableau, Qlik)
  • Master's or PhD in a relevant field (e.g., business, engineering, data science)

 

What's in It for You?

  • Competitive salary
  • Full benefits package including pension, insurance, etc.
  • Mobility budget (or company car - flexible to your needs)
  • Highly visible position within a growing data organization
  • Hybrid work structure: typically 2 days/week on-site

Interested?
We're actively recruiting, so don't hesitate to apply or get in touch if you're curious.

This is a unique chance to help shape a data vision in a company where strategy, technology, and innovation go hand in hand.
