Full Job Description
Since 2015, Agilytic has helped organizations reach their goals through the smarter use of data and AI. With over 300 successful projects completed in Belgium and abroad, we strive to be a leading boutique firm delivering high-impact solutions for marketing, operations, and finance decision-makers. Our Platform Engineering & BI practice has been a major driver of our growth, and we are now looking for the entrepreneurial leader who will take it to the next level. As Practice Director, Platform Engineering & BI, you will own the vision, the commercial agenda, and the talent agenda of the practice. You will be the locomotive: the person who sets the direction, recruits and develops top engineers, and turns opportunities into a profitable business line. We need a builder, not a caretaker. You will work side-by-side with the founding partners to scale the practice, sharpen our positioning on data platforms and analytics engineering, and make Agilytic the reference Platform Engineering & BI boutique in the Benelux market. While regular presence at client offices is required, we offer flexible and hybrid working arrangements. Our main offices are in Brussels' city center, and we gather there every Friday to foster team exchanges and strengthen our collective culture. ### What we expect from you * Vision. Define and articulate where the Data Engineering practice should go over the next three years: service portfolio, target clients, technology stack, partnerships, and differentiators. * Drive. Be the engine. Set the pace, raise the bar, and refuse to let things stall. We need someone with a knife between their teeth who creates momentum rather than waits for it. * Growth. Build a sustainable pipeline and deliver on ambitious revenue and margin targets. You will be incentivized on the commercial development of the practice. * Talent. Attract, recruit, coach, and retain the senior and mid-level engineers we need to deliver at scale. Build the bench so we are never the bottle
