We do so in an open and transparent way of working. The team is diverse with regards to culture, experiences and age. The atmosphere is lively and informal, and the environment is safe. It is normal to make mistakes as long as everyone is honest about it and learns from them.

In your day-to-day work you will play a key role in making sure that we know exactly how we are doing with the implementation of our Data Strategy. You do so by taking ownership of the process and quality of various reports and dashboards, which allow our stakeholders to take data driven decisions based on the information you provide to them.

This is reflected by your eagerness to learn, the questions you dare to ask and the status quo you are willing to challenge. Making structured sense of data is your strength and finding creative and clear ways to present the vast amounts of data available is what gives you a lot of energy. You take ownership to ensure high quality standard is maintained. You can listen carefully to what your stakeholders want to see, and you can translate that into appropriate dashboards and reports. You can do so because of your strong business sense and your ability to understand clearly what your stakeholders have as requirements. You know how to handle conversations on various management levels and know which information you should present and in what format depending on the stakeholder groups you are dealing with.
