Are you ready to play a pivotal role in shaping a data-driven future?

Our client, a leader in the energy sector, is on a transformative journey towards becoming a data-centric organization. We are seeking a dynamic and experienced Data Advisor to join our client's Digital & Data department, where you'll have the opportunity to bridge the gap between business and data, driving value and innovation across the organization.
As a Data Advisor, you will be at the ForeFront of our client's strategic initiatives, helping them unlocking the full potential of our data. You'll work closely with subject matter experts, business leaders, and IT teams to design and implement robust data foundations that align with our corporate objectives. Your mission will be to enhance their data management practices, ensuring they are fit for purpose, sustainable, and deliver tangible business value.

Key responsibilities

• Drive data governance: Contribute to the continuous improvement of our client's Data Governance methodology, providing field feedback to refine practices.
• Business alignment: Collaborate with stakeholders across departments to understand business needs and align data initiatives with strategic goals.
• Coaching and training: Advise and coach Data Owners, Stewards, and cross-functional teams, fostering a culture of data excellence.

• Stakeholder engagement: Build strong relationships with diverse teams, ensuring alignment and convergence on data-related initiatives.
• Customer-centric approach: Act as an ambassador for One Team for the Customer, consistently generating business value through data.
