A central government agency is mid-way through a significant system modernisation programme and they need a Data Analyst to make sure the data going into their new platform is accurate, complete, and audit-ready before go-live.

This is a 5-month contract running late April through to end of September 2026.

The Role
You'll be embedded in the project team, responsible for the quality and integrity of a complex regulatory dataset being migrated into a new digital platform. Day to day, you'll be:
  • Reviewing legacy and current datasets for completeness, accuracy, and consistency
  • Identifying and resolving data quality issues like missing codes, inconsistent classifications, outdated values
  • Working with internal SMEs and an external vendor to map and transform data into the new schema
  • Running validation checks post-load across multiple test environments
  • Documenting every decision, change, and rationale with full audit lineage
  • Producing reconciliation reports, migration rulesets, and data dictionaries
  • Supporting UAT by preparing test datasets and verifying results
What You'll Bring
Must-haves:
  • Solid data analysis and data quality experience (profiling, cleansing, standardisation)
  • Strong Excel skills for working with structured tabular data
  • Experience documenting data decisions and maintaining audit trails
  • Ability to translate technical findings into clear business language
  • Comfortable working across technical teams, policy SMEs, legal, and external suppliers
  • High attention to detail
Nice to have:
  • Experience with hierarchical or classification-based data structures
  • Familiarity with Confluence
  • Background in data migration projects within a regulatory or government context
Why Apply
This is complex, meaningful work on a high-profile government programme. The scope is clear, the timeline is defined, and you'll have direct input into decisions that shape how the platform launches. If you enjoy bringing rigour to a messy dataset, this one's worth a look.
