Working at the heart of a complex and fast-paced programme, you’ll combine technical expertise with analytical insight to explore, document and improve how data is structured, stored, and connected across multiple systems.

• Identify data risks, overlaps and opportunities for cleansing and rationalisation. 
• Produce clear documentation to support migration planning, sequencing and programme assurance. 
• Develop and maintain SQL queries, stored procedures and reporting outputs. 
• Collaborate with stakeholders to gather requirements and translate technical findings into clear, actionable insights, while supporting governance and audit processes.

What we’re looking for:

• Proven experience working with relational databases and writing complex SQL queries (e.g. SQL Server). 
• Strong understanding of data modelling, database design and data structures. 
• Experience analysing large and complex datasets for quality, structure and usability. 
• Ability to clearly document technical findings and communicate them to non-technical audiences. 
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving and organisational skills with strong attention to detail. 
• A proactive and curious mindset, with the ability to identify improvements and drive efficiencies. 
• Strong collaboration skills, with experience working across technical and business teams.
