Jouw rol

As a Senior Data & Analytics Product Management Analyst within TenneT's Data & Analytics department, you play a leading role in designing, building, and evolving scalable cloud-based data solutions. You translate complex business requirements into sustainable data products and analytical models, while also helping the organization improve how business definitions, data quality, ownership, and reusable data products are established and maintained.

You combine strong technical expertise with business understanding, data governance awareness, and a proactive mindset. You act as a trusted advisor for both business and technology stakeholders, and you are comfortable challenging unclear requirements, inconsistent definitions, and fragmented ways of working.

• Help stakeholders define, refine, and document clear business definitions, ensuring that data products are based on a shared understanding of meaning, ownership, and usage.
• Challenge stakeholders on data quality, data ownership, consistency, and the reuse of data logic across reports, models, and systems.
• Identify where business processes, definitions, responsibilities, or decision-making structures around data are unclear, and actively contribute to improving them.
• Drive data quality, reliability, security, and compliance by implementing monitoring, testing, governance, and observability standards.
• Contribute to the definition and evolution of TenneT's data architecture, engineering standards, and cloud platform roadmap.
• Contribute to the migration of legacy data solutions towards cloud-native and future-proof data products.
• Promote and apply DataOps, DevOps, automation, and CI/CD practices to improve development efficiency and platform reliability.

We moeten risico’s op verstoringen zoveel mogelijk uitsluiten. Daarom vragen we van elke medewerker minimaal een Verklaring Omtrent Gedrag. Als blijkt dat er geen bezwaren zijn tegen je aanstelling, staat niets jouw start meer in de weg. Voor sommige functies is een VOG niet afdoende en volgt een uitvoerige screening, zoals een AIVD.
