Job Description:
Data Quality Lead - 9 Month FTC Manchester | Hybrid
We are recruiting an experienced Data Quality Lead to join a central Data Governance Office within a global markets environment. This 9-month FTC will provide cover for the current lead and take full ownership of the 2026 Data Quality Plan, driving it forward with confidence and independence.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who is both technically strong and able to operate comfortably with senior business stakeholders. You’ll take an established Data Quality Framework and turn it into a fully embedded, operational process across multiple business entities.
Key Responsibilities * Lead and deliver the core 2026 Data Quality roadmap in the absence of the existing lead.
* Work with data owners to embed the Data Quality Framework, ensuring responsibilities are understood and followed.
* Conduct hands-on data profiling, assess data structures, identify anomalies, and translate findings for business stakeholders.
* Define and implement data quality rules, working cross-functionally to ensure alignment and adoption.
* Run ongoing data quality measurement cycles and ensure outputs are integrated into wider data processes and platforms.
* Produce monthly Power BI reports for governance committees and leadership.
* Manage data quality issues raised through the ticketing process, coordinating root cause analysis and driving remediation.
* Support wider Data Governance activity, including critical data identification and owner training.
* Act as the bridge between business and technology teams, translating needs, risks and requirements effectively.
Skills & Experience * Strong background in data quality, data governance, or a data analyst who has evolved into governance-focused work.
* Able to work independently, take ownership, and lead delivery without close supervision.
* Confident stakeholder engagement skills with the ability to hold both business and technical conversations.
* Hands-on technical capability:
* SQL
* Python (Databricks preferred)
* Power BI
* M365 tools
* A proactive mindset, willingness to learn, and confidence using new tools (including copilots).
Why Apply? * Take ownership of a key organisational deliverable with high visibility.
* Work within a small, collaborative Data Governance team.
* Build and shape a maturing data quality capability.
* Opportunity for the role to convert into a permanent position.
