Job Description

Data Quality Analyst

Location: Poole

Salary - £35,000-£50,000

Talent Guardian is delighted to be partnering with a fast-growing, international ecommerce business to appoint a Data Quality Analyst on a contract basis.

Following rapid expansion, our client is investing in a portfolio of transformation initiatives to raise the maturity of its data, systems and processes and data quality sits right at the heart of that work. Put simply, without clean, consistent and well-defined data, system implementations stall, reporting becomes unreliable and business decisions rest on shaky foundations. This role exists to put that right.

If you enjoy rolling up your sleeves on data cleansing, migration and validation, and you'd relish playing a pivotal part in a business-critical transformation programme, we'd love to hear from you.

What you'll be doing

Working within the Transformation Programme and reporting to the Transformation Project Manager, you'll ensure data is accurate, consistent and ready for use across systems and processes. Your remit will span:

Data quality & cleansing

Cleanse, standardise and prepare data for system implementations, migrations and integrations.

Validate the consistency and accuracy of data across systems and datasets.

Monitor data quality metrics, controls and thresholds, and investigate and help resolve anomalies, discrepancies and defects.

Maintain metadata, data dictionaries, mapping documentation and data quality records, and support the development of data quality standards and best practice. Migration & integration

Perform field mapping between source and target systems in line with agreed business definitions and standards.

Execute and validate data migration activities to ensure completeness, accuracy and integrity.

Recommend improvements to data quality processes, controls and governance. Testing & UAT

Carry out system testing relating to data migration, integrations and business process changes.

Validate business rules, calculations and transformation logic.

Support User Acceptance Testing, including test data preparation, validation and issue resolution.

Support reporting and analytics by ensuring data accuracy and consistency, and maintain clear documentation of mappings, validation results, testing activities and issue logs.   

What we're looking for

Essential

Experience in data quality, data analysis, data migration, business systems or a related role.

A strong understanding of data cleansing, validation, reconciliation and quality management techniques.

Experience supporting system implementations or transformation projects.

Experience performing system testing and supporting UAT activities.

Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with excellent attention to detail.

Confident working with spreadsheets, databases and reporting tools.

Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills. Desirable

Experience with ERP, CRM, HRIS, Finance or other enterprise systems.

Knowledge of data governance, master data management or metadata management.

Experience using SQL, Power BI, Tableau or similar analytical tools.

Prior experience in ecommerce, retail or high-growth consumer businesses.   

Working arrangements

This is a full-time, on-site role based at our client's office in Poole, Dorset. You'll sit within the Transformation Programme, working closely with the Technology function and alongside the Product Owner / Business Analyst and delivery partners.
