Your life as a Swap Finance & IT trainee

A steep learning curve, together with other trainees.

In this 9-month traineeship, you combine on-the-job training with weekly sessions by experts. Four days per week, you help clients maintain their BI and Enterprise Performance Management environments in a dynamic role where you explore all aspects of BI and EPM, so that you can decide which part you like best.

Together with your colleagues in The Hague, Groningen, and Santander (Spain), you help clients and ensure that they can rely on their BI and EPM applications. You also set up Self-Service BI so that business users can perform analyses more easily. You do this for a diverse set of national and international clients, giving you a unique opportunity to experience different companies.

Every Friday, it’s time to step away from the daily activities and focus on a specific training session given by an expert. These sessions cover a range of topics, from personal effectiveness to consultancy skills, from business expertise to technical skills, and of course the latest trends and technological developments.

You are working on:

• Helping customers get the most out of their EPM applications.
• Maintaining and further developing data models and data warehouses.
• Back-end BI work such as connecting different data sources and setting up integrations.
• Modeling data into usable front-end BI tools such as Tableau or Power BI.
• Retrieving business requirements and setting up reports and dashboards based on data models.
• Adjusting schedules and reports and making sure that these adjustments go live without problems.
• Preparing the system so that the customer can start month-end reporting on time.
• Helping customers by analyzing and solving functional issues.
• Advising customers on performance issues.

Day by day, you gain more and more knowledge of systems and concepts, such as:

• Microsoft Stack (SQL, SSAS, SSRS, Power BI)
• SAP BI/BW and SAC
• Financial reporting systems, such as OneStream, SAP BPC and Group Reporting, CCH Tagetik, or Oracle EPM
• Microsoft SQL or other database programs
• Agile way of working
• ITIL, ASL, BISL

No in-depth BI or EPM knowledge yet? No worries. Experienced consultants guide you so that you can quickly build up knowledge of the environments and all their components.
