Your life as a Swap Finance & IT trainee 

A steep learning curve, together with other trainees.

In our 9-month traineeship, you combine on-the-job training with weekly sessions by experts. 4 days per week, you help our clients maintain their BI and Enterprise Performance Management environments. In a dynamic role where you explore all aspects of BI and EPM. So that you can decide which part you like best.

Together with your colleagues in The Hague, Groningen, and Santander (Spain), you truly help our clients. You ensure that they can rely on their BI and EPM applications. Also, you set up Self-Service BI so that business users can perform analyses more easily. You do this for a diverse set of national and international clients, giving you a unique opportunity to experience different companies.

And on the fifth day? Every Friday, it’s time to step away from the daily activities. And to focus on a specific training session given by an expert. These sessions cover a range of topics, from personal effectiveness to consultancy skills, from business expertise to technical skills. And, of course, the latest trends and technological developments.

You are working on:

• Helping customers get the most out of their EPM aapplications.

• Maintain and further develop data models and data warehouses.

• Back-end BI work such as connecting different data sources and setting up integrations.

• Modeling data into usable data Front-end BI tools such as Tableau or PowerBI.

• Retrieving business requirements and setting up reports and dashboards based on data models.

• Adjusting schedules and reports and making sure that these adjustments go live without problems.

• Preparing the system so that the customer can start his month-end reporting on time.

• Helping customers by analyzing and solving functional issues.

• Advising our customers on performance issues.

Day by day, you gain more and more knowledge of systems and concepts, such as:

• Microsoft Stack (SQL, SSAS, SSRS, PowerBI)

• SAP BI/BW and SAC

• Financial reporting systems, such as OneStream, SAP BPC and Group Reporting, CCH Tagetik, or Oracle EPM.

• Microsoft SQL or other database programs
