(Senior) Consultant (m/w/d) Microsoft Data & Analytics / Microsoft Fabric

Role Summary

For over 25 years, we at the Windhoff Group have been transforming data into real business opportunities. We think holistically: We support our customers end-to-end, from strategy to technical implementation to productive operation - our aim is to turn data into measurable added value.

In the Microsoft Data & Analytics Competence Center we build modern data platforms based on Microsoft Fabric and Power BI. It's not just about individual reports or technical implementation, but about holistic solutions: from requirements gathering, architecture, data integration and data modeling to governance, enablement and operation.

At the same time, we are increasingly dealing with AI-supported scenarios around Microsoft Copilot, Coworks and modern collaboration because these topics are becoming increasingly important for many customers.

• Together with our customers, you will record technical requirements and translate them into viable technical concepts.
• You design and implement modern data platforms with Microsoft Fabric, Power BI and Azure-related components.
• You work on data integration, data models, ETL/ELT routes and Medallion architectures.
• You build lakehouse, warehouse and reporting structures and think directly about governance, roles, authorizations and operations.
• You accompany customers from the initial idea through MVPs to the productive solution and support them with AI-supported analysis and collaboration scenarios.
• You take on responsibility in projects - technically, methodically and, depending on your experience, also in managing small teams.
• You support customers in workshops, training and knowledge transfer and actively contribute your knowledge to CC, for example via internal sessions, how-tos, templates, standards or reusable solution modules.
• You work closely with colleagues from delivery, sales and other competence centers.

• Experience with project work from requirements gathering to implementation for the customer
• I enjoy explaining technical topics in an understandable way and taking customers and colleagues along with me.
• Initiative, pragmatic solution orientation and desire to actively shape a growing competence center.
• German language skills at C level and good English skills

Benefits

We hire regardless of location. Depending on the project, you can work 90% of the time from home or at one of our locations if it is easily accessible to you. For occasional customer appointments and team events, you start from the center of your life, no matter where in Germany you live.
