A Luxembourg-based alternative asset manager is looking for a Data Platform & AI Lead F/M to own and scale their data capability from the ground up. Reporting directly to the CFO/COO, you will drive the shift from fragmented reporting to a governed, scalable data product portfolio and build AI agents that automate key operational workflows.
This is a high-impact, standalone role for someone who combines deep technical expertise with the pragmatism to deliver in a lean, fast-moving environment.
What you'll do
- Own the full data platform lifecycle: reliability, change control, documentation, and continuous development
- Build and maintain data pipelines, models, and reusable datasets supporting reporting and analytics
- Develop and maintain Power BI reporting outputs (including Paginated Reports) used in daily operations
- Implement pragmatic data quality controls and reduce manual corrections across reporting cycles
- Translate business needs into structured delivery: clear definitions, acceptance criteria, and quality thresholds
- Scope, build, and deploy AI agents to augment firm workflows (investor queries, data reconciliation, document extraction)
- Own the full AI solution lifecycle, design, testing, deployment, monitoring with consistent governance standards
- Manage vendors and consultants with clear direction and structured knowledge transfer
Scope boundaries
Out of scope: general IT service desk, system configuration or feature development within core systems, ICT security and compliance.
What we're looking for
- 6+ years in data platform operations or data engineering with enterprise-grade reporting delivery
- Previous experience within an asset manager, a Big 4, or a specialist financial services provider is an asset
- Strong Power BI expertise including Paginated Reports and complex DAX
- Hands-on experience deploying AI-powered solutions or intelligent automation in an enterprise context
- Solid SQL skills and understanding of modern data stack tooling
- Knowledge of RAG patterns, prompt engineering, and agent orchestration
- Awareness of AI governance and regulatory frameworks (DORA, GDPR, AI Act)
- Fluent English required (written and spoken)
- Collaborative mindset, curiosity, and a pragmatic can-do attitude you thrive in a lean team where ownership and initiative matter
Nice to have
- Knowledge of private markets platforms (FIS Private Capital Suite, eFront, DealCloud)
- ETL/ELT tools: Azure Data Factory, Microsoft Fabric, Airflow
- Python for API-based ingestion and data integration
- Azure AI Services, Azure OpenAI, or Copilot Studio
Why this role?
- Direct exposure to C-suite from day one
- Greenfield opportunity to shape the data & AI architecture of a growing asset manager
- Human-sized company where flexibility, adaptability, and a hands-on spirit are genuinely valued no bureaucracy, just impact
- Lean environment where your work creates immediate, visible results
