Teamlead Data & AI

ECS has a huge amount of data at its disposal and wants to make even better use of this valuable resource to support employees, make real-time decisions and continuously improve the customer experience. That is why we are looking for a team lead who is not only passionate about data and AI, but also knows how to inspire a team of data analysts to come up with innovative solutions every single day.

Are you…

• Someone who is fascinated by data, AI and how these technologies can be translated into relevant insights and applications?
• A charismatic leader who can inspire both a team of data analysts and business stakeholders to use data and AI to make better decisions?
• No-nonsense and hands-on, eager to tackle challenging data and AI issues yourself?

Your role:

• You analyse the existing data and AI landscape, translate the “as is” situation into an ambitious but achievable goal, and develop a pragmatic approach to further develop our data and AI platforms, in collaboration with your IT colleagues.
• You define and implement best practices for data governance, AI ethics and data cataloguing, and ensure that these are adhered to by the team and the organisation.
• You manage a team of three data analysts. You monitor their work, both in terms of project deliverables and content quality.
• You will actively participate in the development of AI models, data pipelines and analytical solutions that create value for the company.
• You will provide insights and AI solutions that contribute to forecasting, optimisation, process automation and the identification of new business opportunities.
• You handle analysis and AI requests from key users and management, with an eye for standardisation, scalability and customer focus.
• You maintain and optimise the data and AI environment, decide on the deployment of new tools, frameworks or algorithms and supervise the transition to modern reporting and AI platforms (such as PowerBI, Azure ML, etc.).
• You translate ad hoc questions into inspiring projects that challenge the entire team to surpass themselves.
• You report to the CIO and work closely with key users, IT colleagues (functional and business analysts, database administrators, etc.) and external partners.
• You have ideas and dreams to help ECS evolve into a fully data-driven organisation, from capturing data via IoT to developing advanced AI solutions.
• You contribute to the security of systems and data, and integrate security and compliance into all data and AI processes
