Data Engineering Consultant

Are you passionate about transforming data into real business value? Whether you’re just getting started or have years of experience, we’d love to hear from you!

We are Projective Group, a leading financial services consulting firm where innovation and technology meet business. By partnering with top industry platforms and combining domain knowledge with hands-on data management expertise, we help our clients become truly data-driven.

What will you do?

• Design and build modern data platforms—on-premise or in the cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP)—to support diverse analytics, reporting, and regulatory requirements.

• Develop and maintain end-to-end data pipelines (batch and real-time), leveraging tools like Spark, Kafka, and modern CI/CD practices.

• Support the implementation and customization of data management solutions (e.g., Collibra, Snowflake, Informatica, Dataiku).

• Define data quality rules, trace data lineage, and enforce data governance policies to ensure reliable and compliant datasets.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (IT, business, compliance) to align data initiatives with broader organizational strategies and regulations.

• Provide subject matter expertise around data security, privacy (GDPR), and regulatory standards (BCBS 239, KYC).

• Contribute to shaping data strategies—identify roadblocks, prioritize improvements, and guide clients toward scalable, future-proof solutions.

This position is not offered 100% remote, and we cannot support relocation to Belgium.
