About EIT RawMaterials

As the world moves towards a greener future, the demand for raw materials—minerals and metals—is set to increase immensely over the next three decades. Europe faces a critical challenge in securing a stable supply of these essential resources. This challenge is where EIT RawMaterials steps in.

EIT RawMaterials is at the forefront of driving innovation and sustainability in the raw materials sector. As an Innovation Community within the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), we collaborate with over 300 partners across industry, academia, and research institutes. Together, we forge dynamic, long-term partnerships to develop innovative solutions that meet Europe's growing demand for raw materials.

To advance our mission, we are implementing two critical digital transformation initiatives: a modern MS SharePoint intranet platform and a dynamic Business Intelligence (BI) platform. These projects aim to enhance internal communication, optimize operational efficiency, and provide robust data-driven insights for stakeholders. Additionally, this role will involve managing other IT and digital projects, focusing on legacy system optimization and consolidation.

Business Intelligence Platform Implementation:

• Oversee the deployment of a Microsoft Azure-based BI platform, including Azure Data Lake, SQL-based data warehouses, and PySpark-based ETL pipelines.

• Guide the transition from static Power BI reports to interactive online dashboards supporting both internal and external stakeholders.

Legacy System Migration and Consolidation:

• Lead the reorganization and migration of legacy systems to improve operational efficiency.

• Identify and consolidate inefficient or redundant systems into the new digital environments.

Process Management:

• Analyze organizational processes to identify optimization and automation opportunities.

• Document and refine workflows to ensure seamless digital implementation.

Risk Management and Quality Assurance:

• Identify, assess, and mitigate project risks to ensure successful outcomes.

• Establish quality assurance processes for data transformation, reporting, and platform usability.

Change Management and Training:

• Develop and execute change management strategies to support user adoption of new platforms.

• Organize training sessions, create user guides, and provide ongoing support for platform usability.

Operational Readiness:

• Establish access control and security protocols for both platforms.

• Implement monitoring and support mechanisms to ensure system stability and reliability.
