Head of Data & Insights
Fastned · Amsterdam
About the role
Fastned is on a mission to accelerate the transition to electric mobility. Since 2012, we have been building and operating a rapidly growing network of iconic fast-charging stations across Europe, powered entirely by solar and wind energy. We operate over 400 stations across nine countries, with an ambitious goal of reaching 1,000 stations by 2030. We are not building infrastructure for its own sake. Every station we open is a tangible step in the transition away from fossil fuels, and a bet that the commercial case for clean energy is as strong as the moral one.
Fastned has spent nearly 15 years building something that did not exist before: a premium, pan-European fast-charging network, built on green energy, with a brand that stands for "accelerating the transition to e-mobility."
As Head of Data & Insights, you will lead the team that helps Fastned make better-informed and faster decisions across Europe. Data is at the heart of how we choose where to grow, how we improve our customer experience, and how we operate our business at scale. This is a high-impact leadership role for someone who combines strong people leadership with the strategic and analytical expertise to turn data into meaningful business outcomes.
What they look for
You are an experienced data leader who combines confidence and empathy. You are as comfortable coaching a mid-level data analyst as you are presenting a data strategy to a COO or senior leadership team.
Specifically, you bring:
At least 8 years of people management experience, ideally including leadership of multidisciplinary data teams.
A strong background in Data Analytics, Analytics Engineering, Data Engineering, and Data Science, with enough breadth to credibly lead across all three areas.
Experience setting data strategy, creating team roadmaps, effectively prioritizing and translating business objectives into measurable data outcomes.
Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, including the ability to engage effectively with Director- and Board-level stakeholders.
The ability to bring clarity and focus when demand is high and priorities are evolving.
A natural coaching style and a genuine interest in helping people grow.
Experience working in a fast-paced scale-up or similarly dynamic environment is a plus.
