Wat kun je verwachten?
Thales in the Netherlands has committed to the objective to become a ‘data-driven company’, where facts and unambiguous information are leading in decision making. As BI specialist, you will be responsible for gathering the requested business information and designing clear dashboards for our internal customer, the business user. At the start of the week, you check the sprint backlog to see what tasks are assigned to you. You align with the product owner and business analyst of the team and you are in touch with the business user to sharpen the information specifications. Together with the solution architect and data manager, you investigate which data is required to build the dashboard and together you determine how much time it will take to extract and validate the data. You are capable of executing ETL activities yourself. In the meantime, you start designing one component of the new dashboard in PowerBI. You are in close contact with the business user to agree upon the visual design. At the end of the sprint, which takes two weeks, you deliver the new component of the new dashboard, and in the next sprint you will extend your work with a new component.
You play an important role in the internal digital transformation journey of Thales in the Netherlands. There is a lot of work to be done; you are a ‘go-getter’ and consider this assignment, which we accepted as a team, to be a journey full of chances and possibilities. You are flexible and know how to work around challenges along the way. You are someone who dares to challenge the status quo and someone who brings new energy to our team. Also, you have strong communication skills and you know to address different audiences.
The most important activities are:
- Develop and design dashboards in PowerBI to meet the information demands of the business user
- ETL activities to extract and format data for the dashboards which need to be developed
- Contribute to the improvement of our work processes
About you:
- Holds a relevant Bachelor degree in IT or Business&IT.
- Has 10+ years of experience in working with SSIS, SSAS, SSRS, and PowerBI.
- Being able to handle a new BI request from start to end; retrieving functional requirements from an internal customer to building a dashboard and delivery after a test phase.
- Is enthusiastic, self-starting and quickly feels comfortable in a new and complex environment.
Wat je nieuwe werkgever je biedt
- A challenging job in a great team within our high-tech, innovative work environment. Includes the freedom for initiative and good ideas.
- Room for personal and professional growth within our organisation, for example in regards to technical, commercial or international skills.
- Valuable international collaboration with coworkers from 68 different countries around the globe.
- A comfortable work space in a modern environment, with a focus on flexibility and the right work life balance.
- You can usually work where and whenever you want. Within Thales, we aim for a 60/40 balance, where you work from home at least two days a week, when your role allows this.
- A good salary, fitting travel allowance, and the ability to personalise your employment conditions: for instance, you can trade PTO for internet costs, our bicycle plan, company fitness and relocation costs.
- 40 days off per year (PTO).
