• Assist in developing prototypes, dashboards, and proof-of-concepts.

• Explore opportunities to integrate Generative AI into internal and client-facing processes.

• Collaborate with different teams to identify AI use cases and improvement opportunities.

• Document findings, methodologies, and recommendations clearly.

• Participate in brainstorming sessions around innovation, AI adoption, and digital transformation.

📊 You bring to the table:

• 0–2 years of experience or internships in Data Science, AI, Analytics, Computer Science, Engineering, or related fields.

• A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree (ongoing or completed) in Data Science, Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, AI, or a related field.

• Basic knowledge of Python and data analysis libraries (Pandas, NumPy, etc.).

• Familiarity with AI concepts, machine learning, or Generative AI tools.

• Interest in AI workflows, automation tools, and emerging technologies.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

• A proactive personality with curiosity and ownership.

• Someone who enjoys learning quickly and experimenting with new ideas.

• Ability to work independently while collaborating closely with a team.

🗣️ Language Skills:

• Fluency in English.

• French or Dutch is a plus.

• Comfortable working in a fast-paced and evolving environment.

• Strong communication and collaboration skills.

• Attention to detail and structured thinking.
