Data Lead
Would you like to join the leading business technology company in the Nordics? Do you speak both business and technology fluently? If yes, keep reading!
We are currently looking for Data Leads to grow our capabilities and support our customers in data-intensive initiatives. In your assignments, you lead a delivery team and key data workstreams, working with customer representatives, vendors, and sometimes Sofigate colleagues. You might recognize yourself from titles such as Data Lead, Data Governance Lead, Master Data Manager, Migration Manager, Analytics Lead, or Data Project Manager.
Typically, you could work with master data and data governance initiatives, solution renewal–related migrations, or analytics projects. In addition, some of our assignments focus on building something truly data-driven—such as enabling advanced analytics, AI/ML use cases, or data products—in close collaboration with data engineers and data scientists. The type of projects you work in can be influenced by you: you can either deepen your existing expertise or learn new topics to forge your own core skill set.
Projects can be delivered using either Waterfall or Agile and follow the Business Technology Standard (read more at www.managebt.org) or the methodology utilized in the customer environment. Either way, each project offers opportunities to learn, deliver tangible outcomes, and create real customer value.
What we expect from you
As our future Data Lead, you are passionate about achieving results with our customers and exceeding their expectations. You can quickly take ownership of a project or a data workstream and create a sense of confidence and clarity—so the customer knows they are in capable hands and moving toward their goals.
To succeed in this role, you:
Bring strong leadership and management skills and actively develop them further
Thrive in collaborative environments and enjoy working with diverse stakeholders
Are comfortable presenting to and engaging in discussions with senior management
Bring structure to complex data topics by aligning stakeholders around data governance, ownership, decision-making, and ways of working
Are fluent in both Finnish and English due to our customer needs
You could already have previous experience in:
Leading data migration, master data, or data governance initiatives (e.g., data ownership, data quality management, policies, operating model, metadata management, and cross-functional collaboration)
Delivering analytics / BI / data platform projects where data is transformed into insights and decision-making support
Running data-intensive transformation projects where data is used to build something new—such as enabling AI/ML or data science use cases together with technical teams
Working with different project management methodologies (Agile, Waterfall, Portfolio Gate models)
Operating at the intersection of business and IT
Consulting experience
First and foremost, we look for people with the right attitude, curiosity, and passion for making a difference. If you have an entrepreneurial mindset, are a strong team player, and can take responsibility for your work while building trust with customers, you might be the person we are looking for!
What we offer
As a Sofigator, you get the opportunity to take ownership of your work and grow your career in meaningful customer transformations.
We offer you:
A visible role in high-impact, data-driven transformation projects
Responsibility and trust to lead your work your way
Opportunities to grow your expertise across industries and data topics
A flexible, people-centric culture that supports work–life balance
Competitive salary, benefits package, and 2.5 days of holiday accrual from the beginning of your employment
You will be part of an international and inclusive community where curiosity, collaboration, and continuous learning are valued. We care about our people, dare to challenge the status quo, and grow together – with our customers and with each other.
We would like to hear from you
If you want to join our journey to dare, care and grow together with our clients and fellow Sofigators, we would love to hear from you. Please tell us more about your background, competencies, and motivation to join us by February 15, 2026.
