YOUR SKILLS AND BACKGROUND

You have a Master’s degree within business, economics or IT (e.g. cand.oecon, cand.merc, cand.scient or the like). Preferably, you have a couple of years of experience as a consultant or in a similar role. Alternatively, you make up for your lack of experience by being an absolute top-performer and by having relevant experience in a student job during your studies.
You are able to understand and work with complex processes in a structured manner to help the organization run as smoothly as possible, while you constantly strive to improve the way we work. You also have a natural interest in data and how it can be utilized to create business impact. At the same time, you have a unique ability to deal with complex and huge amounts of data and digest them into understandable and presentable overviews to fuel solid informed business decisions. Your IT-skills are well above average – particularly in Excel and PowerPoint. Ideally, you also have interest in programming and would like to develop your skills further working with R and SQL. You have an analytical mindset, a structured way of working and are a real problem-solver.
As you will interact with many stakeholders in the organization, you must have personal presence and the ability to present your points convincingly. You are curious of nature and have an eagerness to take on a very steep learning-curve. Finally, you should have a ‘self-starter attitude’ and can independently focus, see opportunities and invite yourself to the table.
