The posting

Datashift is a fast-growing consultancy team focused on solving real business problems with data. In early 2025, we opened our Rotterdam office to deepen our support for clients in the Netherlands and keep growing.

We’re looking for an experienced Senior Data Lead to join that team. You’ll guide clients across their data journey, from platform choices to data quality and governance. You’re the kind of person who gets things done and brings others along.

Responsibilities

  • Guide clients on their data roadmap. Help clients translate data challenges into a concrete, prioritized plan of action. You know which approach fits which situation, and you can explain that clearly to both technical and business stakeholders.
  • Lead and mentor the consulting team. You lead by example. You mentor junior consultants, set direction on client projects, and create an environment where people can grow.
  • Drive data project delivery. Own execution end-to-end. Data platform work, data quality initiatives, governance projects. You keep things moving and make sure outcomes stick.
  • Shape service offerings. Together with the Domain Lead, you build best practices and accelerators, contribute to internal knowledge sharing, and help Datashift stay sharp in the market.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience. Strong consulting background with commercial responsibilities and a track record of managing client relationships.
  • Data Engineering & Platforms. Hands-on experience with modern data platforms (e.g. Databricks, Snowflake, dbt, AWS). You’ve built things, not just advised on them.
  • Data Governance experience. You’ve guided at least one date governance/quality project at a client. You understand the principles, the tooling (e.g. Collibra), and the organizational side of making governance work in practice.
  • Team management. You’ve mentored junior staff and managed multiple engagements in parallel.
  • Communication. Fluent in Dutch and English.

Why join Datashift in the Netherlands?

  • Opportunity for strategic impact – Join a fast-growing data consultancy team, expand your skills, and work with top-tier organizations as clients—all while benefiting from the expertise and support of our established practice in Belgium.
  • Competitive package – Receive a comprehensive compensation & benefits plan tailored to match your experience and potential.
  • Award-winning workplace – We are based in CIC Rotterdam (one of Europe’s Leading Start-up Hubs according to the Financial Times), home to 150+ young companies and literally next to the iconic Centraal Station. A great commute guaranteed.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
