Your first horizon is quality: define measurable standards for accurate, complete and timely records, and make them non-negotiable across every workflow. Milestone two is intelligence.

Drive AI engines for forecasting inventory, smart purchasing and adaptive production planning to free up cash and time. /ppWhat will you be doing? /ppAs a Data Specialist at Holland Colours, your mission is to turn reliable data into business-changing intelligence. You’ll be the catalyst who shows leaders exactly where data adds profit, and how to capture it.

This is what you’ll do: /pulliYou build and continuously refine scalable data models, pipelines and governance processes that keep information complete, accurate and timely; /liliYou define, track and improve data-quality KPIs; /liliYou analyse data flows, spot root causes of errors and brief process owners on fixes; /liliYou evaluate new data and AI technologies, advising where they fit; /liliYou develop machine learning models that automate decisions; /liliYou translate technical possibilities into clear proposals for stakeholders and steer pilots from proof-of-concept to production; /liliYou maintain and fine-tune the Boomi integration layer. /li /ulpThe team /ppAs a Data Specialist at Holland Colours, you are part of a Global IT team of seven.

When a data hiccup points to a broken workflow, you dive in with one of four Business Process Owners. Root cause mapped, you redesign the flow and track fixes. The moment a new validation rule or extra field is needed, you analyze the requirement and hand it to one of the application managers. /ppOn the analytics front, you team up with the BI Specialist: he spots missing elements for dashboards, you make sure source systems capture them, and the warehouse delivers clean feeds. AI pilots bring you shoulder-to-shoulder with business sponsors. Most of the crew is on-site in Apeldoorn every Tuesday and Thursday, while global teammates dial in for a short sync every other Friday. Successes (whether a spotless data milestone or an AI go-live) are marked with anything from emoji-filled chats to team dinners. /ppThe culture?
