About this role
The Sharing Group logo Freelance BI Architect - Build an AI-First BI Platform from Scratch - Hybrid - - Almere , Flevoland , Netherlands Job description We are looking for an experienced, hands-on BI Architect to design and build a new AI-first BI platform from the ground up. You will work closely with our junior BI Specialist and business stakeholders to define the architecture, establish trusted business models and build the first working version of the platform. This is not just an advisory role: we are looking for someone who can make sound architectural decisions and implement them . The goal? A scalable and maintainable BI foundation that our internal team can confidently continue developing after your engagement. The project We already have an existing BI environment with Tableau dashboards covering areas such as operations, churn and revenue. These reports contain valuable business knowledge, but our underlying operational platform is changing. Rather than simply reconnecting existing dashboards to new source structures, we want to use this opportunity to rebuild our BI foundation properly. Our intended core stack is: - Snowflake - central data warehouse - Fivetran - managed data ingestion where appropriate - dbt - transformation, testing, documentation and business modelling - Tableau - existing reporting environment and functional reference Historical consolidation between our old and new operational platforms is not part of this project. Why AI-first? We don't want to build a traditional BI platform and add AI afterwards. From the start, our architecture and data models should make reliable AI-assisted analytics possible. Think of: - asking business questions in natural language; - generating or suggesting dashboards; - explaining metrics and their definitions; - proactively identifying anomalies; - tracing AI-generated answers back to trusted data and calculations. AI-first doesn't mean putting a chat...
