Do you want to work with data and make a difference? To support users and developers who are hungry for new content, features and solutions? You might be the new Qlik Sense Data Platform professional we are looking for! Do you want to take part in creating and managing a world-class data platform with modern tool-set and skilled colleagues? Join K Group’s Data Platforms & Technology team and be a part of an energetic, change-driven crew where you will be learning from but also contributing to a team of experts. Position is located at Kalasatama, Kesko Kampus.

Data Platforms & Technology team in K IT is looking for a Qlik Sense Manager with a focus on Platform management. Your specific area of responsibility will be developing, managing and supporting our Qlik Sense platform and services. Besides K IT, you will also work in collaboration directly with various business stakeholders, IT partners and with stakeholders from the common operations unit of K Group. In fact, we will customize the role to best fit your competencies, professional growth targets and requirements of the unit. If the situation allows, your involvement can spread from Qlik platform, other BI tools, planning, Qlik Sense training and cloud data solutions. With us you get to be a part of the versatile and constantly changing world of IT.

What we expect from you is expertise and experience in:

• Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows
• Multi-node environment
• Qlik Sense platform maintenance
• Qlik Sense Cloud
• Data Platform Skills
• PostgreSQL
• Expertise on multi-tenant environments
• Requirement management

Ideally you already had an active role with Qlik Sense such as developer, consultant, architect, etc. as this is the prominent technology you'd be working with. Any experience and understanding of other BI, DW, ETL (e.g. ADF), integration/visualization tools or any software development technologies is considered valuable. Management experience is not expected, but it is appreciated. You are familiar with ITIL and agile development processes and able to communicate efficiently with various stakeholders including non-IT counterparts. You are fluent in written and spoken English. Other languages like Finnish, Swedish or Norwegian is considered an asset.

A degree in computer science, information management or a related subject is appreciated but not required.

What we can offer you:

• The K Group offers attractive opportunities for driving the trading sector forward. You’ll be working in a key function of a leading sector company and innovate solutions for its core operations in the grocery trade, building and technical trade, and car trade.
• A great multinational team, suitably professional yet not too serious
• A cool and complex micro-service based omnichannel platform to work with
• The ability to work in a fast-moving environment where your input really matters
• An open work culture where you bring your own ideas to the table, both technically, and improving our services and ways of working as well
• Extensive employee benefits unique to the K group. These include, among others: Culture & sport benefit (ePassi), shopping benefits that apply in K-Group stores and staff shops, own occupational health care services and leisure time accident insurance
• For office days - modern office with several accommodations (e.g., collaboration and break areas throughout the office, gym, health care services, restaurant and cafeteria…) along good connections in Kalasatama, Helsinki
• The team is great, honestly. We’re not just saying this

At K Group, you get to create solutions that make people’s everyday lives easier, with the strength of data gathered from 1.5 million daily customer encounters. You’ll have your finger on the pulse of our consumer and business customers in the grocery trade, building and technical trade and car trade, and get to take part in various interesting projects.

For digital experts with their eye on the future, we offer vast amounts of data and the chance to harness their creativity to improve people’s everyday lives. Our culture encourages reinvention, experimentation, mistakes and learning.

Corporate responsibility is integrated into K Group’s day-to-day activities, and we strive to help our customers make good choices. We want to make life easier for our customers by offering them quality products and services that promote welfare. The focus of our responsibility work is on the welfare of both people and the environment.
