Senior GenBI Consultant
- Mechelen
Job description
Do you believe the way people interact with data is about to change fundamentally? Do you get energy from building conversational analytics through semantic models that business users actually trust and use?
Datashift is looking for a Senior GenBI Consultant to strengthen this innovative domain. GenBI goes by many names. Conversational BI, agentic BI, talk to your data, … It comes down to the same thing: business users interacting with data by asking questions in their own words and receiving answers they can trust and put to use. You will make that possible.
As a Senior GenBI Consultant your focus will not only be on delivering projects. You’ll act as a technical sparring partner during presales, coach junior and medior colleagues and help shape how GenBI evolves at Datashift.
Your responsibilities:
Build semantic models on modern data platforms such as Microsoft Fabric, Snowflake or Databricks: business-oriented layers that make logic explicit and understandable for both humans and AI agents.
Translate business requirements into clear data models and a pragmatic delivery approach, whether that’s a POC, a pilot or a specific step in a broader roadmap.
Work on agentic analytics solutions where AI agents query, interpret and explain data, with attention to accuracy, security and cost.
Help clients move from a promising POC to a solution that actually gets used and deliveres value
Communicate clearly with business and IT stakeholders about what GenBI can and can’t do today, and keep expectations realistic.
Stay up to date with the GenBI landscape: new conversational and agentic BI capabilities in the modern data platforms, the broader GenAI ecosystem, and what works in practice at clients.

An entrepreneurial, pragmatic mindset: you take ownership and are comfortable in a domain that is still taking shape.
