About the team At E.ON, data capabilities are split into two pillars: “data as an asset to innovation” and “data usages as i.e. AI and data analytics”. Both capabilities are organized in separate units.

Furthermore, you will support multiple business units of the E.ON Group along their data governance and data strategy journey.
