Principal Data Strategist (m/f/d)

Principal data strategists at Thoughtworks are experienced consultants who work with clients to create winning data solutions that meet business goals.

They play a pivotal role in developing modern data architecture approaches that directly address our clients' key business objectives.

Their responsibilities span in-depth reviews of current data and technology strategy, targeted data strategy, guiding clients to unlock the full potential of data, and providing high-level roadmaps.

This role entails a mix of advisory responsibilities in data strategy and governance, coupled with a solid delivery-lead role and a breadth of data and AI ecosystem expertise.

This is a client-facing, builder's leadership role.

You will start with a small, senior team and grow it through technical depth, delivery excellence and thought leadership, rather than inheriting a large organisation to manage.

The role is based in Germany and requires regular travel to client sites, up to approximately 50% of your time.

Learning & Development

There is no one-size-fits-all career path at Thoughtworks: however you want to develop your career is entirely up to you.

But we also balance autonomy with the strength of our cultivation culture.

This means your career is supported by interactive tools, numerous development programs and teammates who want to help you grow.

We see value in helping each other be our best and that extends to empowering our employees in their career journeys.

Responsible Use of AI in Recruitment

At Thoughtworks, we use AI tools to support our recruitment team with administrative tasks such as drafting communications, scheduling interviews and writing job descriptions.

Crucially, our AI tools do not screen, assess, rank or make hiring decisions. Every application is reviewed by our team and all selection decisions are made exclusively by our interviewers and hiring managers.

We are committed to fairness and responsible AI.

We actively manage our AI systems by testing, monitoring for biased outcomes and implementing mitigation measures.

We hold our third-party vendors to these same high standards through a rigorous governance process.
