• Defining and executing the data & BI strategy and governance
• Delivering scalable, business-oriented BI solutions
• Modernising the data stack and ensuring data quality & AI readiness
• Guiding architecture decisions and data standards
• Building and structuring a high-performing data team
• Driving cross-functional collaboration across the organisation

YOUR PROFILE

• Background in data-intensive, regulated industries (banking, insurance, utilities…); gaming is a plus
• Track record of building and leading data teams
• Delivery of impactful data products driving business decisions
• Strong BI expertise (Power BI mandatory), data modelling & semantic layer design
• Solid understanding of data engineering (warehousing, pipelines, data quality, AWS)
• Familiar with modern data stack (Medallion, data mesh, dbt or equivalent)
• Able to challenge architecture and guide technical decisions
• Awareness of AI/LLM data requirements (RAG, structured data, vector-ready formats)
• Autonomous and proactive, with a strong sense of ownership
• Pragmatic: focused on delivering scalable, business-driven solutions
• Analytical and structured approach to problem-solving
• Strong stakeholder management across Finance, Compliance & Operations
• Influential communicator able to drive alignment without formal authority
• Curious mindset, staying up to date with data & AI trends
• French and English: professional proficiency (mandatory)
