About the Role

Hyva is searching for a talented and motivated person to join our Global Supply Chain Data Science team.

You should have a genuine interest in Power BI/reports development and an excellent understanding of analytics and BI concepts, tools and technologies.

As part of the Global Supply Chain Data Science team, you work on data transparency for Hyva. In our organization lives the paradigm that data is not available and accurate. The Data Science team is working and proving that this paradigm is not correct.

We mainly develop in the Microsoft Power platform environment using data stored on premise, on Azure and Power BI at the moment. We have BI Analysts in our IT team working on the ETL process that results in a validated global data model and datasets that are sourced directly from our ERP and other key systems. The Data Science team sets the requirements of the Global Supply Chain in the global data model together with the Global Network Leads and Global Business Process Owners, but always to support the regions.

As a team you will have a sandbox (prototyping) environment to do rapid prototyping but once validated, specifications are written to be deployed by the BI team in the back-end. This enables you and the team to focus on the fun stuff of developing and going very quickly in support of the regions. Where the expectation is to go and learn fast and to surprise the organization with speed and quality. And that data is available and by making this transparent we drive the accuracy.

• Develop/Define data accuracy metrics for different elements within the business master data, transactional data etc.
• Understand the business processes and data that you are working on, to ensure that what you make is meeting business requirements.

• Experiment and Implement RPA, Power Apps and Power Automate via fast return on investment use cases where this is suitable and delivering business value as well as drive the development of data workflow and RPA tooling over the axis of cost reduction and efficiency improvements.
