Are you passionate about data, business intelligence, and the technology behind it?

We’re looking for a Team Leader Data Management & BI who can bring structure to data processes, strengthen the data strategy, and inspire a small but growing data team within a major player in the Belgian HR and staffing sector, bringing together over 500 employees across 70 offices and in-house teams.

You’ll lead a small team of 2 experienced data professionals and guide the evolution towards a modern, cloud-based data landscape.

Your mission: to turn data into actionable insights that drive smart business decisions.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead, coach, and inspire the data team to deliver high-quality, reliable insights.
  • Develop a clear data roadmap and strategy aligned with business goals, including the vision for self-service analytics (Power BI), cloud (Azure), and AI readiness.
  • Streamline and document data processes to ensure efficiency and focus on value-added activities.
  • Define and monitor data governance, data quality, and data architecture.
  • Coordinate and deliver data & BI projects, such as the migration to a modern DWH and implementation of new tools.
  • Act as a bridge between business and IT, translating complex needs into practical, data-driven solutions.
  • Identify opportunities to innovate, automate, and optimize reporting and analytics processes.
  • Take a hands-on role when needed — you understand the technical details and can guide your team through challenges.

What are we looking for?

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in IT, Data, or Business Intelligence (or equivalent experience).
  • 5+ years of experience in Data Management or BI, with at least 2 years in a leadership or coaching role.
  • A natural leader: structured, communicative, and results-driven.
  • Strategic thinker with strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Excellent communicator — you can translate technical topics into clear business insights.
  • Fluent in Dutch, with a professional command of English.

Technical Skills

  • Solid experience with the Microsoft BI stack (SQL Server, SSIS, SSRS).
  • Strong understanding of data warehouse concepts, ETL processes, and data modeling (Kimball).
  • Familiarity with ETL automation tools – experience with TimeXtender is a strong plus.
  • Proven experience with Power BI for visualization and dashboarding.
  • Knowledge of Python for data automation is a bonus.
  • Experience with Microsoft Azure components such as Data Factory or Databricks.
