Join our Data Quality and Governance team and play a key role in keeping critical data trustworthy, monitored, and ready for decision‑making. You’ll manage DQPro rules and Ataccama data quality monitoring and run smart validation and reconciliations to spot issues early and improve stability in production. If you enjoy hands‑on problem solving, repeatable operational excellence, and working at the intersection of governance and technology, this role offers real impact and clear development in modern data quality tooling. We are looking for a self‑motivated and capable individual to make a tangible contribution to data quality processes. The ideal candidate can work independently while also being a good team player, aligning with shared goals, communicating effectively across functions, and contributing to a collaborative and supportive team environment.

- Own day‑to‑day DQ monitoring across DQPro and Ataccama, keeping controls current, effective, and well‑documented.
- Run validation, reconciliations, and profiling to identify anomalies, false positives, and root causes.
- Produce data analysis and feedback to evidence progress, highlight trends, and ensure clear visibility of data quality status and outcomes.
- Support release and environment checks (pre‑prod to prod) and help transition new controls into stable BAU monitoring.
- Maintain DQ registers, rule inventories and evidence packs, producing clear summaries for governance forums.
- Build familiarity with Reference Data Management (RDM) processes and support the business with ad‑hoc queries, guidance and operational needs as required.
- Track recurring issues and improvements, partnering with stakeholders to drive remediation and strengthen monitoring over time.
Key Skills:
- Strong SQL fundamentals – able to read, test and make minor adjustments to queries.
- Proven capability in data validation and reconciliation, with a good attention to detail.
- Confidence working with data quality controls, including thresholds, exceptions and outcomes.
- Clear written communication, with the ability to produce concise, structured documentation.
- Execution‑focused and comfortable with repeatable operational tasks.
- Receptive to feedback and structured ways of working.
- Exposure to DQPro, Ataccama, or similar DQ tools.
- Knowledge of insurance data and understanding of data governance concepts (ownership, SLA, severity, escalation).
- Experience with Power BI and/or Tableau for dashboards and data visualisation.
- Basic familiarity with Databricks / cloud data platforms.
Benefits:
- A great starting salary plus annual bonus and strong benefits package.
- Up to 16% company pension scheme.
