Our ambition is bold: to make trusted, well-defined data the foundation of how Jumbo makes decisions, and to put clear, role-relevant insight and AI-enabled answers directly into the hands of leadership and every function. We are looking for a BI & Data Management Lead to shape and drive this function. This is a genuine player-coach role. You will be hands-on with the data, the dashboards and our AI initiatives; you will raise the technical bar and help our BI Analyst grow; and you will sit as a full member of the Digital Transformation leadership team, setting direction alongside our IT and Digital Experience leads. It is a rare opportunity to own and build a modern, AI-enabled data function from the ground up, with direct visibility to the Management Team and CEO, real autonomy, and a clear path to grow as the function grows. What you'll do Deliver hands-on and raise the bar * Design and build KPI cockpits: focused, role- and function-specific performance views, starting with an MT/CEO cockpit, using Power BI. * Own and improve Power BI dashboards, data models and semantic layers, and drive adoption across business units. * Work directly in the data warehouse and align it with reporting, KPI and AI needs. * Coach and develop the BI Analyst on the craft: data modelling, DAX, definitions, dashboard design and delivery. Drive AI and automation * Help lead Jumbo's AI Data Warehouse Q&A initiative, enabling the Management Team and senior leadership to ask natural-language questions about sales and finance KPIs, and taking it from pilot to trusted, everyday use. * Shape how AI is applied to data across the function: spot high-value use cases, work with agents built per use case, and help set direction on tooling and platforms (for example Azure OpenAI). * Ensure clean definitions and a well-structured warehouse so that AI answers, and the decisions built on them, are trustworthy. * Bring an experimentation mindset: stay close to what is newly possible with AI and automation, and turn it into practical wins that remove manual, repetitive effort. Set direction for the function * Own the BI & Data Management roadmap and maturity plan for 2027 and beyond, with AI and automation as core threads. * Champion the cockpit concept: multiple focused, actionable views rather than one dashboard for everything. * Prioritise the BI backlog against business value and keep delivery pragmatic. Establish definitions, governance and data quality * Build and maintain the KPI dictionary and data dictionary, giving the organisation shared, consistent definitions and the clean foundation that reliable AI depends on. * Improve source data quality in partnership with the teams that own it, and make quality visible and actionable. * Define standards for dashboards, datasets, ownership and certification, positioned as complementary to, not a replacement for, business ownership. Align stakeholders * Drive the cross-functional BI/Data working group (Finance, Sales, Operations, Marketing). * Build trust across functions and navigate ownership sensitivities with a collaborative, complementary mindset. * Translate business questions into clear data, reporting and AI solutions. ## Related Videos - [From Messy Queries to Scalable Systems - How Data Engineering actually works](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100203-from-messy-queries-to-scalable-systems-how-data-engineering-actually-works) - [Develop AI-powered Applications with OpenAI Embeddings and Azure Search](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/828-develop-ai-powered-applications-with-openai-embeddings-and-azure-search) - [Beyond Dashboards: Fixing Text-to-SQL with Semantic RAG](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2036-beyond-dashboards-fixing-text-to-sql-with-semantic-rag) - [Data Analytics with Microsoft Fabric: End-to-End Use Case with Data Agents](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1547-data-analytics-with-microsoft-fabric-end-to-end-use-case-with-data-agents) - [Empowering Retail Through Applied Machine Learning](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/976-empowering-retail-through-applied-machine-learning) - [Coding an Immersive Copilot using Unity / .NET and Azure OpenAI!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1204-coding-an-immersive-copilot-using-unity-net-and-azure-openai) ## Related Articles - [Coffee with Developers - Maria Apazoglou - Making AI understandable for all in production](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/475-coffee-with-developers-maria-apazoglou-making-ai-understandable-for-all-in-production) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Making Data Warehouses Fast: A Developer’s Story](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/107-making-data-warehouses-fast-a-developer-s-story) - [MLOps – What’s the deal behind it?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/125-mlops-what-s-the-deal-behind-it) - [Best Companies in the Netherlands: Top 25 Companies in 2023 ](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/193-best-companies-in-the-netherlands-top-25-companies-in-2023)
