Join our team to shape the future of data at Coop!

We see data as essential to our success as a business, and we are determined to reinvent our data landscape to make data access at Coop easy, safe, and reliable so we can leverage this important asset in delivering better value to our co-owners and customers even faster. We plan to achieve our vision by adopting a data mesh architecture and a domain-oriented organisational structure where autonomous value stream teams deliver data as a product to other teams and use this data to build compelling products.In this endeavour, we need motivated people to make data a 1st class citizen. In this process, help us discover and build new and useful platform capabilities that can accelerate the process of building data products, and data analytics.

• You’ll help build our data and analytics platform highlighting critical patterns for performing data analytics and creating data products, and creating platform capabilities that can help teams perform these activities better and faster.
• You’ll contribute to fostering a modern data culture within Coop and strengthen our data-driven organisation.
