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

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

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

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

Sounds like a dream job? Then become part of the team now! (as soon as possible, location-independent)

• You will design and implement modern data platforms with Microsoft Fabric, Power BI, and Azure-related components.
• You will work on data integration, data models, ETL/ELT pipelines, and Medallion architectures.
• You will build Lakehouse, Warehouse, and reporting structures, incorporating governance, roles, permissions, and operations from the outset.
• You will support clients from the initial idea through MVPs to the productive solution and assist them with AI-supported analysis and collaboration scenarios.
• You will take responsibility in projects – professionally, methodologically, and depending on your experience, also in managing small teams.
• You will support workshops, training sessions, and knowledge transfer with the client and actively contribute your knowledge to the CC, for example, through internal sessions, how-tos, templates, standards, or reusable solution components.
• You will work closely with colleagues from delivery, sales, and other Competence Centers.
