Senior Data Analyst

Company Description

At Lely, we believe in achieving a sustainable, profitable and agreeable future for dairy farmers by combining robotisation, engineering and farming expertise.

It all started with a dream cherished by two brothers in Maassluis 75 years ago, and ever since, we have worked to become innovative market leaders in automated systems for dairy farmers across the globe. With a team of 2,400 professional specialists, we work constantly to bring about revolutionary solutions for the agro industry. We are based at our Maassluis Campus, a building which features the highest sustainability performance possible, not just in the Netherlands, but on a global scale. Our overall objective: making dairy farming interesting, also for the coming generations.

Job Description

Would you like to be a part of the discussion about the best way to run the dairy business of the future? Would you find it interesting to figure out which performance indicators are key to ensuring that dairy farmers too can run their businesses optimally? Does clearly identifying the mutual correlations within all our data on animal health, automated feeding, reproduction and rations sound like a stimulating challenge to you? Do you also have ample experience of data analysis (agricultural industry, robotics, machines or IoT devices) and are you looking for a meaningful job in which you can make an essential contribution to an innovative and sustainable mission?

If so, please read on!

Thanks to the more than 30,000 (real-time) users of our management system, we already have plenty of big data on hand. As a data specialist, you will know better than anyone how to identify the correlations that will form the starting point for new plans and ideas. Quite cool, isn't it? As well as deploying your in-depth expertise on data analysis, you will be helping your team to monitor the progress of their project and the quality of their solutions.

Good communication skills are essential, as is an ability to tell a story in an inspiring fashion.

Since you will be collaborating closely with the Data Engineering and Data Science departments, some knowledge of these areas is also desirable. If you would really like to make a difference and feel this challenge is right up your street, we would love to hear from you!
