Just Russel is on a mission to change the way people care for their pets, through convenience, preventive health and data at the centre of every decision. As the 6th fastest-growing company in Belgium (Deloitte Fast 50), we're scaling fast and building the infrastructure to match.

Right now, our operations are growing quicker than our visibility into them. We need someone who can close that gap, someone who doesn't just build pipelines, but asks the right questions, who connects the dots cross-platforms, spots what's going wrong before others do, and turns messy operational data into clear decisions.

That's where you come in. As our Data Analytics Engineer for Operational Excellence, you'll own the data that powers our order flows, warehouse operations, cost management and customer support. You'll work embedded in a cross-functional tech team alongside product engineers, software engineers and designers — and you'll be the person everyone turns to when they need to understand what's really going on.

Own the data that drives operational decisions

• Design and maintain scalable ETL/ELT pipelines using dbt Core and BigQuery — built to last, not just to ship.

• Be the guardian of data quality in your domain: one source of truth, properly documented, always reliable.

• Be the architecture behind your data landscape. You won't just implement, but help shape how we build.

• Support A/B testing and experimentation from hypothesis to quantified business impact.

Turn numbers into action

• Deep-dive into operational data — orders, COGS, warehouse performance, customer support — and surface what actually matters.

• Build dashboards and reports that people genuinely use, from weekly operations reviews to leadership KPI overviews.

• Collaborate with our data scientist on predictive models: feature design, validation and monitoring.

• Be the person who says 'here's what the data tells us' in the room where decisions get made.

Your toolbox

• Data ingestion: dltHub, giving us maximal control of what we ingest.

• Storage & architecture: BigQuery, with solid understanding of warehouses, data lakes and medallion/vault patterns.

• Transformation: dbt Core for modular, well-documented models.

• Orchestration: Google Cloud Platform (Cloud Functions, Cloud Run, Workflows).

• Visualisation: Looker Studio and/or custom dashboard solutions.

• Analysis: Python for deeper analysis and data pipelines.

Who you are

• 4–5+ years of experience as a Data Analyst, Data Engineer or Data Analytics Engineer — ideally in e-commerce, subscriptions or digital products.

• Strong SQL and Python skills, with hands-on experience across a modern data stack.

• You understand data architecture and think proactively about cost, efficiency and scalability — not just correctness.

• Comfortable working with ingesting, using and combining data/metrics from multiple platforms, such as Zendesk, Odoo, Sendcloud etc.

• You communicate clearly: you can explain a complex data model to an engineer and a business insight to a CEO.

• You take ownership. You don't wait to be asked — you notice what's missing and go fix it.

• You thrive in a fast-moving environment where priorities shift and ambiguity is part of the job.

• Master's degree in a quantitative field, or equivalent experience.

• Fluent in English; Dutch is a strong plus.
