Collaborate with stakeholders to integrate analytical outputs into existing reporting environments
Coach internal analysts on best practices in data analysis, visualisation, and data storytelling
Document analytical processes, data models, and governance guidelines

What are we looking for?

You have at least 2 years of hands-on experience using Python for data analysis, automation, or analytical scripting
You have at least 2 years of experience writing SQL to extract, transform, and analyse data across multiple systems
You have experience building dashboards and visualisations using Grafana or a comparable tool
You are comfortable working autonomously in an operational, structured environment
You communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
You are fluent in Dutch OR French (C1 level) and can work professionally in English

Nice-to-Have Skills
