About the project

Join our European Data & Analytics HUB! – we are growing!

This strategic initiative is created to enable the change of Volkswagen Financial Services (VWFS) to a data-driven company. Our goal is to empower all VWFS business units to use data effectively, efficiently and compliantly in their business decisions.

D&A originally has been set up as central HQ function located in Germany. To strengthen D&A’s international profile and to cope with the increasing demand for D&A’s services, the European D&A Hub has recently been established in Warsaw, Poland. The teams in both locations work closely aligned to deliver outstanding data products and services for international data use cases at VWFS group.

As part of the Data Foundation, you will join the Vehicle Data API Team (VDA), responsible for a central API platform that provides vehicle data across the entire Volkswagen Financial Services Group. You will work on modern cloud-based solutions, helping to ensure reliable, scalable, and high-quality access to vehicle information used by multiple business units and products.
