Position Description:
Are you a talented, entrepreneurial leader with a strong background in data and analytics ? Do you have a deep understanding of how modern data platforms enable organizations to create value, and how we as an IT service provider can support them with scalable, future-proof data solutions? Then we are looking for you!
Your role in our team
As a Director Consulting Services, you will be fully responsible for your clients, your team, and operational activities. Together with your team of around 15 colleagues, you will work to optimize our service delivery. You will lead your team in the development of new data-driven services for your clients, recruit new talent, and ensure the professional growth of your team members.
You are the central figure in service delivery: a subject matter expert responsible for maintaining and expanding strong relationships with both existing and new clients in data-intensive and analytics-driven environments. You will take the lead in business development and ensure the quality, scalability, and governance of the data solutions delivered.
You know how to balance your focus between results, engagement, and quality.
