• Proactively identify opportunities for data analysis to boost operational efficiency and streamline processes.
• Stay current with data analysis tools and methodologies, continuously improving our insights.

• 5+ years of experience providing business-critical insights through data analysis.
• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science, Information Technology, or a related field.
• Proven experience with Power BI or SSAS data analysis tools.
• Direct experience with on-premises data environments (SSIS/SSAS) is highly valued.
• Experience in data management within a large international company. Experience working in the maritime, defense, or manufacturing industry is considered a plus.
• Excellent references, as a security screening is part of the hiring process.
• Permanent EU citizenship and passport are both required. Candidates with EU (work) visa or with both an EU and non-EU nationality and/or passport are not eligible in accordance with the requirements imposed by the military nature of our projects.

• A competitive salary and 8% holiday pay.
• 27 holidays and 13 ADV days.
• Travel allowance of 23 cents per kilometre.
• PME-pension arrangement with an employer contribution of 60%.
