We’re looking for a Data Quality Manager to help build a proactive and sustainable data quality capability within our Asset Management business.

This is a newly created role combining hands-on SQL analysis with data quality management and senior stakeholder engagement. You’ll develop controls that identify data issues earlier, investigate their causes and help the business understand their impact.

• Developing proactive data quality controls and checks
• Analysing data to understand the causes and business impacts of quality issues
• Gathering and documenting requirements from business and data stakeholders
• Working with senior stakeholders to agree priorities and appropriate actions
• Coordinating with offshore resources supporting query execution and analysis
• Contributing to management information reporting and data quality dashboards
• Helping build a sustainable in-house data quality analysis capability

Who we’re looking for:

• Strong hands-on SQL experience, including developing data checks or control queries
• Experience analysing, investigating and resolving data quality issues
• Good understanding of data quality management and data governance
• Experience gathering and translating business requirements
• Strong stakeholder-management and communication skills
• Confidence explaining technical findings to senior and non-technical audiences
• The ability to connect technical data issues with their wider business impact
• Experience with Financial services, investment data, Snowflake, Power BI or MI reporting would be helpful
