HEAD OF DATA ENGINEERING & BI (LIEGE - BELGIUM)
THE SCOPE
With 30 years of history, today Gaming1 is one of the international leaders in both land\-based and online games of chance (casino games, sports betting and poker). Its evolution at the heart of innovation is accompanied by a diversification and specialization of positions, with the creation of new cutting\-edge jobs. As part of its sustained growth, Gaming1 is looking for a Head of Data Engineering \& BI to join its IT Department.
Our IT department serves the full breadth of our retail operations, supporting stakeholders across Finance, HR, Compliance, Legal, and Retail — and we are at an inflection point: moving from reactive data management to a proactive, insight\-driven data culture.
YOUR ROLE
This is a transformation role, not a maintenance one. You will act as the first dedicated data leader within our IT function, shaping the vision, defining the roadmap, and driving the execution to build a robust, business\-driven data practice.
You will lead and grow a team of data and BI professionals, positioning data as a strategic asset — structured, trusted and AI\-ready — serving the entire IT organisation.
Working within a federated data ecosystem, you will collaborate closely with central platform and infrastructure teams, ensuring alignment while progressively clarifying ownership, responsibilities and data governance.
Your key responsibilities include:
- Defining and executing the data \& BI strategy and governance
- Delivering scalable, business\-oriented BI solutions
- Modernising the data stack and ensuring data quality \& AI readiness
- Guiding architecture decisions and data standards
- Building and structuring a high\-performing data team
- Driving cross\-functional collaboration across the organisation
- Experience transforming and structuring underperforming data environments
- Background in data\-intensive, regulated industries (banking, insurance, utilities…); gaming is a plus
- Track record of building and leading data teams
- Delivery of impactful data products driving business decisions
- Strong BI expertise (Power BI mandatory), data modelling \& semantic layer design
- Solid understanding of data engineering (warehousing, pipelines, data quality, AWS)
- Familiar with modern data stack (Medallion, data mesh, dbt or equivalent)
- Able to challenge architecture and guide technical decisions
- Awareness of AI/LLM data requirements (RAG, structured data, vector\-ready formats)
- Autonomous and proactive, with a strong sense of ownership
- Pragmatic: focused on delivering scalable, business\-driven solutions
- Analytical and structured approach to problem\-solving
- Strong stakeholder management across Finance, Compliance \& Operations
- Influential communicator able to drive alignment without formal authority
- Curious mindset, staying up to date with data \& AI trends
- French and English: professional proficiency (mandatory)
As well as having a unique experience \- centered around our values of pleasure, team spirit, performance, boldness and integrity \- alongside 1\.600 employees around the world, we offer:
- A unique opportunity to build from scratch within a solid, well\-funded and growing international group
- Real impact \& AI ambition – contribute directly to innovative, data\-driven and AI\-powered initiatives
- A human \& entrepreneurial journey in a family company rooted in Liège
- Strong culture of trust, autonomy and collaboration, where talents are empowered to deliver
- Career growth \& internal mobility – evolve your scope as you grow within the organisation
- Flexible way of working – up to 50% remote to support work\-life balance
- Competitive salary package including a range of benefits
