6 data roles you can take on at delaware (and how they differ)

Sep 12, 2025

Many companies "do data", but at delaware we cover the full data journey. That means a career in data here can take six different shapes, giving you the chance to find your perfect fit. You don’t just apply for one data consulting job – you can build a long-term career path across multiple roles as your interests evolve.

We asked six #peopleofdelaware to share their exact role: how they found their way into data, what excites them most about their job, and why working with data at delaware feels just a little different. Find out about the different paths you can take through their eyes – which one fits you best?

data architect: Frederik

What is your role as data architect?
Making sure we use the fitting architecture and technologies and keeping security and costs in the front of our minds – those are my core responsibilities. But I’m mostly a big fan of the pre-sales phase. Exploring new environments, connecting with clients, and presenting solutions that really click with them. On the delivery side, it’s great to see a team grow and hit key milestones.

What makes working at delaware so unique?
You’re involved in every step of the process, from shaping ideas in pre-sales to making sure they land well in delivery. We also tend to focus on solutions that fit the client, without adding in flashy features just because we can. It creates a culture that values quality over quick wins.

data engineer: Amelie

What is your role in data?
I’m a Data Engineer. I started with a broad scope five years ago and was always drawn to the technical side. But before writing any code, it starts with listening to the customer: capturing their requirements and understanding which KPIs and insights really matter for their business. A big part of the job is thinking along with them and shaping the solution. Once that’s clear, I translate those needs into a concrete setup - turning scattered data into clean, usable pipelines that feed the insights our clients rely on.

What makes working at delaware so unique?
You’re trusted early on if you show enough motivation. Then, you’re supported as you grow. There’s also plenty of space to explore new expertise: whether that’s during a project, a new training on Databricks, or even at a conference in Vegas, if you’re lucky! You’re always encouraged to go after what interests you.

data migration expert: Bert

What do you do in data migration?
I’m a Data Migration Consultant. I help clients move from legacy systems to new ERP platforms by making sure their data is accurate, complete and ready for go-live. Over the past eleven years at delaware, I have focused on the full design and implementation of large-scale data migration platforms. From translating customer requirements into logical rules and transforming data, to enhancing data quality in collaboration with the customer, and preparing and loading data into the new ERP system: I’ve been included in the full end-to-end process, and that what makes it interesting.

What makes working at delaware so unique?
You’re not boxed in. I’ve seen people grow into roles that didn’t even exist when they started. There’s room to experiment, specialise, and stay close to what you’re good at. For me, that’s always been backend. But if I ever wanted to explore something new, that door would be open. It’s a flexible environment where your expertise is valued.

AI consultant: Tallin

What is your role as an AI consultant?
I help clients understand how AI can help them with their specific goals. Juggling multiple AI projects at once - each one requiring a different skill - creates a variety that I’m really fond of. Sometimes it’s about automating internal processes, other times it’s about building something that doesn’t exist yet. I love that I get to be creative while staying close to the business side. Seeing an idea take shape and delivering something valuable is what I enjoy most.

What makes working in data at delaware so unique?
There’s a lot of room for initiative. If you’re curious about a new technology or approach, you’re encouraged to explore it through dedicated incubator or R&D time. You can shift gears as your interests evolve, and that’s a big reason I’m still here.

data visualization expert: Jens

What is your role and why do you like it?
I specialize in data visualization, turning raw data into dashboards and visuals that help people understand what’s really going on. I started in an internal role, and got curious about how data works behind the scenes, which led me into visualization. There’s a creative side to it that I really enjoy. Now, I’m also stepping into project management. It’s been a gradual shift, based on what energizes me.

What makes working at delaware so unique?
You’re encouraged to learn by doing. I got responsibility early on, even as I was still figuring things out. That mindset makes it easy to grow into roles that play to your strengths.

data project manager: Elke

What does it mean to be a project manager?
I bring people together. Connecting the dots, perspectives, and technologies, I help shape a solution that fits the client’s needs. From kickoff to delivery. Every project is a bit different, and that’s what keeps it interesting.

“In my first year at delaware, I’ve been working on the Medusa migration project at De Watergroep. From a back-end perspective, our goal is to migrate and validate the full data model from SQL Server DBMS to the cloud-based Databricks data platform. My role on the project has been to extract the data from the source system and transform it into consistent input for the target system. Then I validate the data to ensure it has been transferred correctly and that all integrity rules have been maintained. This way, data is made available to front-end systems and can be used for the requested processes." — Irene Paolini

Like Irene, you’ll be involved in the entire consulting cycle from A to Z (i.e. from analysis to implementation and training). Your goal is to create end-to-end, integrated data solutions, which could include:

Data capturing: you extract and bring together as much structured, semi-sturctured, and unstructured data as possible, wherever it may reside (i.e. ETL process)
Data and information management: you not only integrate and enrich data, you also manage the data architecture, modeling, governance, quality, and security
Analytics and data science: You help your customers generate the right type of insights: from reporting on past events or handling large volumes of data to predicting and even prescribing future events
