Junior Data & AI Consultant

As a Junior Data & AI Consultant, you help clients turn data into better decisions by contributing to end-to-end, robust and interpretable data and AI solutions. You work in multidisciplinary teams, comfortably bridging business and technical discussions, with a strong focus on delivering value rather than technology for its own sake.

You work closely with experienced consultants, engineers and business stakeholders in multidisciplinary teams. You are exposed to different industries, data platforms and use cases - allowing you to build a broad foundation across the data & AI domain while gradually developing your own strengths. Your role combines technical contribution, analytical thinking and consulting skills.

From day one, you are supported through structured technical and soft-skills coaching tailored to your ambitions. We believe junior consultants grow fastest when they are both challenged and well guided, and we actively invest in your development so you can explore different domains and shape your future specialization.

We are looking for someone with at least 1 in-depth experience and curiosity across the full data & AI landscape:

• Data Engineering: design and build reliable data pipelines, model data for analytics, set up CI/CD, etc.
• Data Visualisation & Analytics: Translate business questions into insightful, impactful dashboards; drive data storytelling and self-service analytics adoption, etc.
• Data Governance & Strategy: assess data maturity, shape policies and standards, define ownership and lineage, etc.
• Data Science & AI: build and validate ML/GenAI solutions, help bring models into production using MLOps practices, etc.

We’re seeking passionate colleagues who are eager to push the boundaries in digital transformation and technology consulting. At Sopra Steria, you’ll have the opportunity to grow your skills in a constructive, collaborative team environment, working on impactful projects that drive change for our clients. If you thrive on challenge and meet (most of) the qualifications below, we look forward to your application!

You’ll have knowledge and experience of the following:

• Experience: At least 1 year of relevant experience in one of the following domains: data engineering, data visualization/BI, data governance & strategy, or data science/AI — combined with curiosity and a strong willingness to learn across the others.
• Solid knowledge of SQL and data modelling.
• Basic understanding of data storytelling and stakeholder coaching (interest in helping users get value from data).
• Consultant DNA: independent, proactive, committed, critical thinker, collaborative team player and a true go‑getter who gets things over the line.
• Appreciates the value of community building and knowledge sharing, and actively contributes to both.
• Adding a project portfolio (e.g. GitHub, case studies, or examples of previous work) is a plus.
• You are fluent in Dutch and English.
