Business Intelligence Specialist

‘The goal is to turn data into information and information into insight’

The Enterprise Information Management team of Thales in the Netherlands is looking for an experienced BI specialist to further professionalize information management. 

About the job
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.

There are many possibilities to build your career at Thales. You could further develop within the domain of BI, yet you could choose to specialize towards IT, or to increase your knowledge about our interesting business and grow to an operational position on the intersection of Business and IT. Furthermore, with some own initiative and a good portion of curiosity, you are able to continue your career at Thales at a completely different department.

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 basic knowledge of PowerBI
  • Has extensive knowledge of SSIS and SQL and the ability to complete ETL activities independently
  • Can align the business information request with the technical possibilities
  • Is proactive, flexible, a go-getter, and enthusiastic
  • Knowledge of Mendix is a pre
  • Good understanding of the Dutch language

What's in it for you 

  • Become part of a great team in a high tech, innovative international organization
  • (International) opportunities for growth in tech-, management- and commercial roles
  • Attention for personal development and own initiative
  • A nice workplace in a modern building, where we value a good work-life balance and flexibility
  • 40 leave days per year, travel expenses and a flexible benefits à la carte package with options like purchase/sale of leave hours, internet costs, bicycle plan, company fitness, trade union contribution or relocation costs

What We Do

Welcome into our world, where we believe in making every day beautiful! At Vera Bradley, we believe beauty has a unique power to inspire and improve the quality of women's lives. Too often, beauty gets mistaken for something lofty or perfect. Something that lives in grand gestures or for a special, elite few.

We believe beauty is so much more than what you see on the surface. Beauty belongs everywhere, and is especially moving when it appears in places you wouldn't think to look and in situations you wouldn't expect to find it. And let's face it — we know it can make the difference between an ordinary day and an extraordinary one.

Meaningful beauty has been woven into the fabric of our company since day one. Let's flash back to day one, when the idea for this company was born in one of the most un-beautiful places in the world: the airport. We brought beauty to women travelers with inspired and feminine luggage, and the brand grew rapidly and organically from there — from friends and family as its first brand ambassadors into an American brand that is loved and toted by millions of women today.

At its very core, Vera Bradley is an innovation brand for women. We've always been inspired by the needs of real women, and our proudest moments have been when we can bring communities of women together through their shared love of beauty.

Our vision of hope ... Vera Bradley Co-founders Barbara Bradley Baekgaard and Patricia R. Miller began raising funds for breast cancer research in 1993 after the loss of their dear friend, Mary Sloan. Since then, their genuine commitment to this cause has evolved into the Vera Bradley Foundation for Breast Cancer. Together with our donors, event participants and volunteers, we hope for a future free from breast cancer. $25.7 million in contributions have been raised so far to support critical advancements in breast cancer research.
