HEAD OF DATA ENGINEERING AND BI (LIEGE-BELGIUM)

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 enjoying a unique experience – centered around our values of Pleasure, Team Spirit, Performance, Boldness and Integrity – alongside 1.600 colleagues worldwide, you'll have the opportunity to contribute to the international development of a fast-growing family company.

Joining Gaming1 means becoming part of a human and entrepreneurial adventure where people are empowered to make an impact, grow and succeed together.

We offer:

• the opportunity to work on ambitious international projects within a solid and growing group
• a collaborative and high-performing work environment
• leadership based on trust, autonomy, talent and shared values
• continuous learning and career development opportunities through training and internal mobility
• a competitive salary and benefits package aligned with the local market
• a hybrid working model, with the possibility to work remotely up to 50% of your working time
• an international and collaborative environment where people come first
