Technical Data Consultant

Technical Data Consultant - 3 Month Contract Up to £550 P/D Outside IR35 Manchester - Hybrid (x2 days a week)

We're recruiting on behalf of a well-established gambling and gaming organisation seeking a Technical Data Consultant to support a focused discovery and documentation engagement.

This is a hands-on contract for someone who enjoys stepping into complex, legacy-leaning data environments and making them understandable, supportable, and less reliant on individual knowledge.

You'll be brought in to:

• Investigate and reverse-engineer live data platforms with limited documentation
• Build a clear picture of the current-state data architecture and data flows
• Review and document business-critical SQL and transformation logic
• Produce practical operational documentation and runbooks
• Work closely with long-tenured engineers to capture knowledge and reduce key-person risk

The focus is clarity, stability, and handover - not greenfield delivery or re-platforming.

• Strong experience in data discovery, platform recovery, or reverse-engineering work
• Background as a Data Consultant, Data Architect, or similar
• Solid knowledge of SQL / SQL Server and AWS-based data platforms
• Comfortable creating architecture diagrams, data definitions, and operational guides

• Rate: Up to £550 per day
• Scope: Outside IR35
• Location: Central Manchester (2 days per week on-site)
• Duration: 3 months initially

This role will suit someone who enjoys problem-solving in ambiguous environments and leaving things in a better state than they found them.
