Job description
The Data Lead knows that data is the new oil. With over 4 million returning visitors a month, funda is a data fabric, a high traffic marketplace and a very trusted brand. We want to understand our users better, so that our services improve in quality, relevancy and accuracy. Data is a key resource we need to leverage to follow our strategy successfully.
You play a key part in our own path towards taking the stress out of our user’s journey by potentiating our data collection, modelling, analysis and to serve our business needs and ambitions. According to your new colleague Esther, you are up for a challenge: “Working with data at funda is exciting for three reasons: the scale of the data we work with, the challenge of integrating disparate data sources, and the fact that all this data gives us a unique perspective on the real-estate market. It’s a truly great playground for any big-data engineer.”

Your job
Your job is to, together with your team, unwrap the potential of our data. Over the last few years, the Data Team has completely revamped how we approach data and make it available to everyone in the organization, and thus you will have a chance to lead and work with a highly motivated and ambitious team. As soon as you start, you get all the freedom to investigate what funda needs when it comes to data – and implement it.
