At Vanderlande, we are building the future of data-driven decision-making. In this assignment, you will contribute to the realization of a next-generation AI assistant that enables colleagues to access data insights through a single, intuitive entry point.

Instead of navigating multiple dashboards and tools, we aim to provide a smart, conversational and user-friendly way to interact with data. Your challenge will be to design and develop this capability by combining AI, data, and software engineering.

You will work on creating agent-based solutions that connect to the central data platform and transform complex data into clear, actionable insights. This includes shaping the user experience, defining technical architecture, and building a functional prototype.

By the end of the assignment, you will have contributed to a real, high-impact innovation that can transform how decisions are made across Vanderlande.

The Data & Decision Intelligence (DDI) team is a cross-functional, international team within Vanderlande that helps unlock the value of data. We deliver advanced analytics, data products, and AI-driven insights to a wide range of internal stakeholders, including Sales, Product Management, Sustainability, Cyber Security and more.
