Data Management Consultant

What are you looking for?

How you can
make a difference

As a data management consultant at Albert Heijn you will ensure the proper data life cycle of our data. You know the different teams and stakeholders in the Data value chain from source applications to Data Science savvy consumers. You will connect these stakeholders on topics like data quality, data exchange, data definitions and access. You are a sparring partner for application development teams and you take part in shaping the data governance organization and capability throughout Albert Heijn.

You are not afraid to dive into the deep end and help shape this team and capability. You are happy to speak your mind and are able to act like a change agent for expanding data governance principles throughout our organization. Your can-do mindset and confident attitude allows you to turn uncertain situations into new ways of working and processes.

This is how you will reinvent food retail. 

• You make sure Data is the product
• You influence and enlighten your colleagues
• You listen, empathize and understand

Specifically, you:

• make sure that the quality of defined datasets is maintained
• are responsible for data policies and standards to become operational
• provide insights to the data owner regarding the general goals of their data
• have substantive knowledge of the data objects and related business processes
• ensure proper training of employees on data management best practices

Your new team and office.
Together with the Data Governance team, our Global Data Governance Office and the Data Governance teams in our other brands you will work on inspiring projects to accelerate our transition into a hybrid Food & Tech company. We want to leverage data and technology to future-proof food shopping and give our customers the accessibility to healthy food more easily available for everyone. At Albert Heijn, you team up with inspiring peers in the data, digital and tech domains. A community of diverse individuals who share a common goal; to create digital solutions that make (online) shopping simpler and more inspiring. Are you ready to reinvent the way millions of people buy and enjoy their food? We invest heavily in data, digital and tech. And that includes investing in your career! Our teams work in a hybrid way: both from home as well as in the office. We are located right next to the train station of Zaandam.

We think it’s important to be part of a high-belonging team; a team where you can be yourself and feel safe, accepted and appreciated. For this job we are preferably looking for someone who brings diversity in our team, in the widest possible sense. Someone who is a great addition to our team by bringing other ideas to the table. Don’t check all the boxes? Don’t worry, we probably don’t either 😉. Don’t hesitate to apply if you think you are up for the challenge, we’re happy to have a look at your resume!

The recipe for maximum impact: 

• 3-5 years of work experience as for example a Data Steward, Data Quality officer.
• Strong knowledge of Data Management (DAMA-DMBOK) standards and practices.
• You have participated in large-scale change programs before.
• Big bonus if you have experience with Data Governance transitions. 
• You enjoy teamwork and making things happen.
• You’re data savvy, pro-active and have a big passion for data & tech.
• You’re precise, have a keen eye for detail.
