Data Quality Analyst – Global Transformation

Data Quality Analyst – Global Transformation

Location: Hertfordshire (2 days per week)

Salary: £45,000 - £50,000 + Benefits

The Company:

We're partnering with a global organisation investing heavily in the quality, consistency and governance of its data across international operations.

As the business continues to mature its data capability, they're looking for someone who can help ensure business-critical data is accurate, trusted and fit for purpose, not through one-off projects, but as part of the organisation's day-to-day operations.

This is an opportunity to join a growing global data function where you'll work closely with business stakeholders across multiple regions.

The Role:

This is a hands-on Data Quality Analyst position focused on the ongoing management and improvement of enterprise data quality.

Rather than supporting a migration or transformation programme, you'll take ownership of operational data quality by investigating issues, identifying root causes, implementing preventative controls and working with stakeholders to ensure problems don't happen again.

You'll become the person the business relies on to improve the quality, consistency and reliability of its data across multiple business domains.

What You'll Be Doing

• Investigating day-to-day data quality issues across business-critical datasets.
• Identifying the root cause of recurring data quality defects and working with the business to resolve them.
• Implementing validation rules, quality checks and preventative controls to reduce recurring issues.
• Working closely with Data Owners, business stakeholders and technical teams to improve data quality across operational processes.
• Monitoring data quality metrics, identifying trends and proactively addressing emerging issues.
• Supporting the implementation of data quality standards and governance across the organisation.
• Translating technical data issues into clear, business-friendly recommendations.
• Building strong relationships across the business to promote data ownership and accountability.

What We're Looking For:

We're looking for someone who has genuinely owned operational data quality within a business, not someone whose experience has been limited to ERP implementations, system migrations or one-off transformation projects.

You'll be able to demonstrate practical examples of:

• Investigating real data quality issues from identification through to resolution.
• Diagnosing root causes rather than simply correcting bad data.
• Working with business stakeholders to improve data quality across operational processes.
• Implementing validation rules, monitoring or other controls to prevent issues recurring.
• Delivering measurable improvements to data quality, accuracy or completeness.
• Experience working within Data Quality, Data Governance or Master Data environments.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Confidence working independently while collaborating across a global organisation.
• Experience working across multiple business systems and data domains.
