Analytics Developer

About Function

Function Data is a growing data consulting business based in Amsterdam, and we build the technical and organisational solutions that make companies truly data driven. We are convinced there is a better approach to data initiatives, so we started a company that helps companies change the way they perform data projects.

We have a strong focus and expertise on marketing related topics and projects, with the result that our portfolio consists of a variety of cool, customer facing brands.

Function Data operates as an embedded data team – or as an extension of the existing data team. We use software best practices to match their business opportunities with data development, so that we deliver value fast and continuously.

The way we work is transparent and collaborative, helping companies to keep innovating, also after we have left.

We are a remote team, that has a home base office in Amsterdam. Depending on the role we work completely remote, partly at our office and partly at our clients.

We believe that diversity is strength.
