Data Management Platform (CDE) Lead/Owner – Energy Infrastructure (f/m/d)
Workload 80 - 100%
Join Axpo to lead, scale, and continuously improve our Common Data Environment (CDE) on Autodesk Forma. You will steward a mission‑critical platform used by 600+ colleagues across 200+ projects in multiple countries. This is a project leadership role that orchestrates outcomes through partners and vendors, emphasizing outsourced development and integrations over in‑house engineering. Your work will accelerate the digital transformation of Axpo’s energy infrastructure portfolio across Europe—boosting collaboration, data quality, and delivery performance.

Define and evolve enterprise standards across countries.
Adoption & User Enablement
Drive adoption across 600+ users — from early adopters to skeptics who prefer SharePoint.
Deliver practical, role-based training (guides, short videos, hands-on sessions) — not generic slide decks.
