Data Strategist

About the role

Our client, a large international organization, is embarking on an ambitious transformation of their data landscape. We are looking for an experienced Data Strategist to take a leading role in the rollout of a Data Mesh architecture.

This is not a theoretical position. You will roll up your sleeves, analyze the current situation, and co-build a concrete roadmap that gets executed.

What will you do?

• Map the current data landscape: analyze existing tooling, systems and reporting
• Define improvements, optimizations and structural changes
• Co-develop the data roadmap and guide its execution
• Monitor milestones, budget and planning from a project management perspective
• Redefine the existing data governance model where it currently falls short
• Bring stakeholders along in the transition towards a mature data organization

Your profile

You are a well-rounded data professional — not a specialist in every domain, but someone who understands the architectural big picture and can bring others along in the vision.

You recognize yourself in one of these two backgrounds:

• Technical profile that has grown from data modelling towards a strategic level
• Data governance profile with a strong interest in architecture and transformation
• Fluent in French and English

You also bring:

• Broad experience within the data domain (modelling, governance, architecture)
• Familiarity with or knowledge of Data Mesh principles
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
• A structured, project-driven approach with an eye for budget and timing
• Experience in an international environment is a plus

What can you expect?

• A strategic role with real impact on a large-scale transformation project
• An international context with complex data challenges
• A competitive package, negotiable based on experience
