Contract open-end

The Data & Analytics (DNA) department is a key pillar of Luminus’ transformation towards

a data-centric organization. Within the RT DNA operating model, delivery is structured

around platform teams, responsible for developing and maintaining both the enterprise

Data&Analytics platform and Visualization Platform, and cross-functional scrum and fusion

teams, focused on delivering data products and solutions for specific business domains.

To strengthen technical excellence and team cohesion, DNA is adopting a hybrid HR

organization that combines stable platform teams — functioning both as Scrum and HR

teams — with centralized pools of experts who report to domain managers and are

assigned to scrum and fusion teams to support the delivery in the business domains.

The Domain Manager for Data & Analytics Platforms leads and develops the teams

responsible for designing, evolving, and operating the Data & AI Platform and

Visualization Platform. These platforms enable effective data management, business

intelligence, AI and data interoperability across the organization.

This role is accountable for ensuring that the platforms remain secure, reliable, scalable,

and cost-efficient, while continuously integrating new technologies to meet evolving

business needs.

The Domain Manager also drives the adoption of platform capabilities across the

organization, ensuring that teams fully leverage available tools, services, and standards to

maximize value and efficiency.
