## About the Role

You've spent 8+ years building and architecting data solutions, and you've grown from hands-on delivery into a role people turn to for advice. Architecting cloud data platforms is second nature to you and you're just as comfortable in front of a customer's IT director as you are unblocking a colleague's design question., * have 8+ years of experience, with a track record of growing from delivery into a more architectural or advisory role;

 * have good knowledge on architecting cloud data platforms and advanced data modelling concepts, ideally within the Azure data stack;
 * are comfortable working across Python, SQL and PySpark;
 * possess a customer-facing presence: you put people at ease and come across as a trusted, senior voice in presales conversations and on-site assessments;

 * are a caring, driven colleague who takes ownership of the team's technical growth as naturally as you do a customer's architecture;

You're someone who gets genuinely excited when data stops living in dashboards and starts shaping real business decisions. You're not just a number cruncher - you naturally bridge the gap between analytical thinking and the messy, human reality of sales and marketing teams.

You're pragmatic, curious, and you have a talent for cutting through complexity to find what actually matters for a client., You know your way around data platforms, and like building things that actually work. As a consultant, you enjoy solving real problems with smart, reliable data solutions for our customers. If you've got experience with Microsoft Azure, Databricks, Microsoft Fabric or similar tools, we'd love to hear your story.

## Description

As a Data Platform Lead, you'll be working for our customers in Wallonia and Luxembourg. You'll focus on:

 * Strategic blueprint: you design the data and AI architecture that supports our customers' business goals, and make and substantiate the technology choices that tie it all together into one coherent whole.
 * Technical presales & assessments: you join presales conversations as the technical expert, translate customer needs into concrete use cases, and run assessments on customer sites to size up their data landscape.
 * Technical leadership: you guide implementations and keep an eye on quality, performance and coherence across what the team delivers.
 * Continuous improvement: you spot opportunities to optimize and bring in new ways of working and technology at every stage.
 * Sounding board & coach: internally, you're the person colleagues bring their toughest design questions to, helping the team grow., In our view, innovation is everywhere: it's in the cutting-edge technologies we use for our customers, it's in the way we communicate and collaborate, it's top of mind whenever we think of novel solutions to customer challenges. Join us and innovate with customers in delaware's del20 innovation challenge. Or participate in one of our many harvest & innovation projects.
