Henkel AG & Co. KGaA — one of Germany’s most globally recognized industrial consumer goods and technology companies, headquartered in Düsseldorf Holthausen, NRW — is hiring an Expert Data & Digital Energy Solutions (d/m/w) within its Industrial Solutions division. In the years 2027 to 2030, this role will play a defining part in building and transforming Henkel’s Data Platform 2030 as a Data Analyst — shaping the company’s central data-driven process infrastructure from the ground up. After successful platform implementation, the role is expected to evolve from 2030 onwards into the Expert Data & Digital Energy Solutions function, taking full technical ownership of Power BI dashboards, Digital Twin solutions, Data Cube architecture, energy data platforms, SAP data integration, AI-powered process optimization, and data governance across Henkel’s German sites. This is a rare opportunity to build a critical digital infrastructure asset and then grow with it — a permanent, full-time position at one of Germany’s most respected global employers, located at Henkel’s iconic headquarters campus in Düsseldorf Holthausen.
About This Expert Data & Digital Energy Solutions Opportunity — Henkel Düsseldorf NRW
Employer: Henkel AG & Co. KGaA — a DAX-listed global consumer goods and industrial technology company with over 150 years of history, 47,000+ employees worldwide, and headquarters in Düsseldorf Holthausen, NRW — operating the Adhesive Technologies, Beauty Care, and Laundry & Home Care divisions, with Industrial Solutions as a key strategic unit
Division: Industrial Solutions — Industrial Business & CX — the team responsible for developing and operating Henkel’s industrial infrastructure, site services, energy management, and digital data solutions at the Düsseldorf Holthausen headquarters campus and across German sites
Location: Düsseldorf Holthausen — Henkel’s historic global headquarters campus, situated in Germany’s most commercially and industrially dynamic state (North Rhine-Westphalia), offering excellent transport connections, a world-class urban environment, and direct access to Henkel’s international career network
Role Evolution: 2027–2030 as Data Analyst driving Data Platform 2030 build — evolving from 2030 into Expert Data & Digital Energy Solutions with full technical ownership of digital energy data infrastructure, AI-powered analytics, and data platform operations at a global headquarters scale
Why This Expert Data Role at Henkel Düsseldorf Stands Out
Build Henkel’s Data Platform 2030 — From Day One: This is not a maintenance role for an existing system. From 2027, you will be actively shaping the architecture, integration strategy, data governance framework, and reporting infrastructure of Henkel’s Data Platform 2030 — a high-visibility, strategically critical project at one of Germany’s most internationally recognized companies
SAP + Power BI + Digital Twin + AI — The Full Modern Data Stack: Develop and apply hands-on expertise across the complete data engineering and analytics technology stack that modern industrial enterprise environments demand — SAP data integration, Power BI dashboard development, Digital Twin solution architecture, Data Cube design, AI/ML process automation, and energy data platform management
Energy Data & Sustainability Infrastructure — A Future-Critical Skill Set: Energy data management, digital energy monitoring, and AI-powered energy optimization are among the fastest-growing and highest-value technical disciplines in German industry — this role builds expertise at the intersection of data engineering and energy infrastructure that will be professionally valuable and in high demand throughout the 2030s
Permanent Role at a DAX Company with Full Benefits: Henkel offers one of Germany’s most comprehensive employee benefits packages — hybrid working, 30 remote days/year, 100% company-funded pension, MEGA health insurance, CareFlex care insurance, gender-neutral parental leave, employee stock plan, bike leasing, and job ticket subsidy — in a permanent, full-time position at global headquarters
Position Overview
This Expert Data & Digital Energy Solutions (d/m/w) at Henkel Industrial Solutions in Düsseldorf Holthausen builds and implements the Data Platform 2030 as the central foundation for data-driven processes — models process maps, data architectures, and standardized data models — consolidates and integrates data from SAP and additional source systems — develops Digital Twin, Data Cube, and Power BI solutions for infrastructure process analysis and control — digitizes and automates reporting — establishes sustainable data governance — takes technical ownership of the energy data platform and digital solutions — drives AI-powered process optimization — and standardizes data knowledge transfer across Henkel’s German sites. From 2030, the role evolves into Expert Data & Digital Energy Solutions with full strategic and operational ownership of Henkel’s digital energy data infrastructure at global headquarters level.
Why This Role Matters: When Henkel’s production teams, facility managers, and executive leadership need reliable, real-time insight into energy consumption, infrastructure performance, and operational efficiency across the Düsseldorf Holthausen campus and German sites — it will be the Data Platform 2030 that you build, the Power BI dashboards that you design, the Digital Twin models that you architect, and the AI-powered optimization solutions that you implement that give them those answers. A correctly integrated SAP data pipeline that surfaces energy cost variances before they become financial surprises, a Digital Twin that predicts infrastructure maintenance needs six weeks in advance, a Power BI dashboard that shows every site energy manager exactly which process is consuming above-budget energy at 8 AM every Monday morning, a data governance framework that ensures every figure in every report can be traced to a verified, auditable source — this is what expert-level data and digital energy engineering delivers at a company like Henkel. Building it well, building it to last, and building it in a way that empowers rather than overwhelms the people who use it every day: that is the genuine technical and organizational value of this role.
Key Responsibilities — Expert Data & Digital Energy Solutions Düsseldorf
