Currently we are looking for:

Data Consultant, Data & Analytics

Join DFDS on our exciting Data & Analytics journey!
At DFDS, we believe that digital technologies and the pace of their adoption are key driving forces in changing the ways that businesses work. The Technology & Innovation organization within DFDS has a broad scope and is designed to operate both centrally and cross-functionally, in close collaboration with senior management, core business areas and IT teams.
Within our Data & Analytics department, we are currently looking for a Data Consultant to help our users and key stakeholders getting more insight into their business through data. You will be reporting to the Team Lead, Data Consultancy in Copenhagen.

Why join us?
This is your opportunity to influence and be part of a strategically important department in DFDS in a time of great initiatives. We are on a mission to improve data-driven decision making and make more people in DFDS work with data on both an operational and a strategic level.
Another advantage is the possibility to grow. We strive to create the right conditions so you can find time regularly to develop your skills and pursue your own goals next to the department’s goals. This means that you can choose to develop in a more analytical/technical direction, or to have more focus on developing your stakeholder and project management skills – or both.

What could a day in the life of a Data Consultant look like?
In the morning, you start your day participating in the daily stand-up with your colleagues from Data Engineering. Here you find out how work is progressing on the tasks that you prioritized in the previous sprint planning, and whether there are any blockers you need to support with.
After that, you grab a coffee and jump on a call with a colleague from the business to discuss her great idea of a new, improved reporting feature that could save her team a lot of time every month. This feature fits nicely into the quarterly priorities of the division, so after the meeting you prepare the functional specifications for the data engineers.
After lunch you spend some time exploring a part of the business where data adoption is low. You piece together a quick and dirty report [in Tableau] that provides new insights into the business area and set up a meeting with relevant business colleagues to share your thoughts and ideas.
In the afternoon, you spend some time on an e-learning course to improve a skill of your own choice. This time it is your technical skills – and you find out that SQL is not that hard after all. You end the day with a call with the rest of the Data Consultancy team to discuss a new initiative related to data literacy.

Last, but not least: Who are we looking for? You:
• Are analytical with a passion for data
• Have a strong desire to learn and develop yourself
• Have a mix of technical capabilities and project management skills, and you enjoy working with a wide array of stakeholders on making DFDS a more data-driven company
• Can maintain a holistic view of a large business area and are able to prioritize what is most important
• Have a degree within Economics, Finance, Business Administration, IT or similar
We value team fit very highly, so even if you do not tick all boxes, but you are highly motivated and think you would be a great addition to the team, we encourage you to apply.
