The energy transition requires smart, decisive professionals. In the Data & Analytics team, we ensure that data is findable, accessible, interoperable, and (re)usable, and we translate this data into data-driven solutions so that the Netherlands can also rely on a reliable electricity grid tomorrow. In short, professional data management is an essential prerequisite within TenneT. Will you contribute to this as a senior data management specialist?

How do you keep the Netherlands powered?

As a senior data management specialist, you help to structurally improve and sustainably organize expertise. You ensure that data is not only available but also well-managed throughout its entire lifecycle. In doing so, you work at the intersection of business, data, and technology.

As a senior data management specialist, you play a key role in designing a future-proof data foundation. You ensure that data, information products, and digital solutions can be developed and used in a consistent, scalable, and controlled manner.

You are not an advisor who stops at a policy document or framework. You translate strategy, principles, and best practices into concrete implementations and working solutions.

You help in setting up roles, processes, and standards, and ensure that these are actually applied.

Together with business stakeholders (e.g., data stewards and data owners) and your team of product owners, data scientists, and data/DevOps engineers, you build sustainable data management capabilities that contribute to reliable decision-making, more efficient processes, and a future-proof data organization.

You combine expertise in the field of data management with strong knowledge of data architecture, integration, and interoperability. You translate enterprise standards into practical solutions and ensure that data becomes reliable, understandable, and reusable across systems, domains, and value chains. Based on that expertise, you help teams, departments, and domains improve the way data is managed, used, and protected. You understand the connection between the various data management disciplines, but can simultaneously realize concrete improvements independently within your area of expertise.

You take responsibility for developing standards, performing assessments, guiding implementations, and realizing improvement trajectories. In addition, senior specialists fulfill a more directive role in the areas of policy, capability development, and knowledge building within the organization.

You will be working within the Data & Analytics Assets team.

The focus of this position lies on data architecture, interoperability, and designing sustainable data management solutions, and you are responsible for, among other things:

• The design and realization of data and information architectures that enable reliable exchange of data between systems, platforms, and chains.
• The development and implementation of standards for data models, master and metadata, integration patterns, and information exchange.
• Defining frameworks for relevant DAMA DMBOK elements.
• The development of data models, integration patterns, mappings, and data processing agreements (DPA).
• Increasing the maturity of data management by structurally anchoring governance, ownership, and quality.
• Guiding implementations and ensuring adoption within business and IT teams.
• Performing maturity assessments and realizing improvement initiatives.
• Assessing data solutions on, among other things, architecture, quality, lineage, and security.
• Collaborating with business, architecture, data/DevOps engineering, and data scientists for scalable and future-proof realization.

At TenneT, we look for professionals who contribute to an effective and future-proof project organization. We expect you to have the right experience and skills to make a valuable contribution to our team and our mission.

To truly make a difference in this role, you recognize yourself in the following competencies:

• Quality of decisions: You can assess different solution directions, weigh risks, and make substantiated choices that contribute to sustainable results.
• Organizational awareness: You understand the interests of various stakeholders and know how to effectively connect business, data, and technology.
• Persuasiveness: You know how to explain complex issues understandably and create support for changes and improvement initiatives.
• Ownership: You take responsibility for the successful realization of Data Management capabilities and actively drive for results, adoption, and continuous improvement.

Why this position is unique:

• Many organizations set up data management primarily from a governance perspective. In this role, the focus lies on realizing effective data exchange, consistent data models, and interoperable solutions that enable collaboration between systems, teams, and chains.
• You make a direct contribution to the energy transition and a reliable energy supply for the Netherlands.

• You are given the space to make an organization-wide impact on the way data is managed and used.

• You get plenty of opportunities to further develop yourself within the broad field of data management.

This role falls within the Data & Documentation Management Advisor job profile, so that it is clear to both you and TenneT which responsibilities, expectations, and growth opportunities belong to this position.

TenneT offers you the chance to contribute to a sustainable energy future. Together with colleagues, partners, and stakeholders, you will work on innovative solutions that make the energy transition possible. With us, you will get the space to develop your talent and work in an environment where your growth is central. We encourage initiative and give you the space to come up with new ideas.

All mentioned employment conditions apply to full-time employment, unless stated otherwise.

TenneT conducts a VOG (Certificate of Good Conduct) and a UVO screening for this position.
