• Help stakeholders define, refine, and document clear business definitions, ensuring that data products are based on a shared understanding of meaning, ownership, and usage.
• Challenge stakeholders on data quality, data ownership, consistency, and the reuse of data logic across reports, models, and systems.
• Identify where business processes, definitions, responsibilities, or decision-making structures around data are unclear, and actively contribute to improving them.
• Drive data quality, reliability, security, and compliance by implementing monitoring, testing, governance, and observability standards.
• Contribute to the definition and evolution of TenneT's data architecture, engineering standards, and cloud platform roadmap.
• Contribute to the migration of legacy data solutions towards cloud-native and future-proof data products.
• Promote and apply DataOps, DevOps, automation, and CI/CD practices to improve development efficiency and platform reliability.
• Identify opportunities to optimize platform performance, scalability, maintainability, and cost efficiency.
• Coach and mentor fellow engineers and actively contribute to knowledge sharing, innovation, and continuous improvement within the team.

• Ability to work with business stakeholders to clarify business definitions, data ownership, and decision-making needs.
• A proactive attitude in challenging unclear requirements, fragmented business logic, and inconsistent use of data across the organization.
• Understanding of how data governance, business definitions, and technical implementation come together in reliable enterprise data products.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to engage effectively with both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Professional proficiency in English, both written and spoken.

Nice to have:

• Experience with SAP 4/HANA as a source.
• Experience with Power BI semantic models and analytics solutions.
• Experience working in Agile/Scrum environments.
• Experience within the energy, utilities, infrastructure, or asset-intensive sectors.
