Data Analist / Architect

Currently Templeton and Partners BV is looking for an Experienced "Data Analyst / Architect" to join one of our international clients for a position in Amsterdam, Netherlands for a duration of 6 months with options of extension.

Assignment context and description of activities

At our client we process and store large sets of data. Those datasets are kept for certain periods for both operational business reasons as well as to meet regulatory compliance requirements.

Because of above we see our storage costs growing faster than our business even with the declining unit prices.

We are looking for a data analyst who can do a bottom up analysis of the current storage consumption and work with the data owners, users and other stakeholders (like compliance and legal) to reduce the amount stored and to create a clear set of requirements and guidelines that control data growth in the future.

With the following results

• overview of current storage consumption (and costs), allocated to software components and associated business owners

• concrete advice on reducing storage consumption (by purging, shorter retention, etc)

• concrete set of guidelines/requirements that will keep the storage requirement and growth to a minimum

Relevant knowledge, skills, competences & desired education level

• experience with data modelling

• understanding of different data storage technologies (RDBMSs, hadoop, kafka, file systems)

• experience with backup & archiving technologies (CommVault preferred)

• experience with data in a highly regulated global environment

• good documentation and communication skills

• fluent in English

Initial term of 3 months to cover a subset of the business, this period can be prolonged dependent the results/value the candidate delivers.

We are looking forward to receive your application, and will be in touch promptly to discuss this opportunity in more detail.
