Full description
Lead the data platform. Shape the future of IT Services.
Are you a senior SQL Server expert who is ready to lead? Do you want to move beyond database administration into a role with real influence on how IT runs?
We are looking for a Data Platform & IT Services Coordinator to own our data platform, lead a talented international team and, over time, take on broader coordination across IT Services and BT Operations.
This is not a "pure DBA" role. It is a technical leadership position with a clear path to a wider management role.
Why this role stands out
- A real growth path. Start as the owner of the Data Platform and grow into a broader coordination role in BT Operations within your first year.
- A modern Azure stack. Work hands-on with SQL Server, Azure SQL, Azure Data Factory and Azure Databricks, the technologies that will drive our data strategy for years to come.
- Lead an international team. Manage and develop a team of 4 Data Platform professionals across Portugal and Belgium.
- Visible impact. Drive platform modernization, digital transformation, IT Service Management and Service Desk transformation.
- Investment in your development. New to ITSM? We will support you with training. We value your potential and your attitude as much as your current experience.
