About the role
The Senior Data Analyst plays a critical role in enabling successful data transformation and migration as part of major digital and platform modernisation initiatives. The role is responsible for understanding data structures, assessing data quality, defining transformation rules, and supporting end‑to‑end data migration activities to ensure data is accurate, trusted, and fit for use. The role also provides targeted analytical insights to support migration decisions, validate outcomes, and enable business confidence in transformed data.
Working collaboratively with the Data Architect, Product Managers, Business Analysts and Engineers, the Senior Data Analyst will be embedded in all data related discovery, design, development, migration and go-live matters.
Your Responsibilities:
- Data transformation and migration: Design, document, and manage end‑to‑end source‑to‑target data mappings for complex system integrations, ensuring traceability and alignment with business and technical requirements.

Identify data quality issues, root causes, and remediation strategies in collaboration with business and technical stakeholders. Support defect analysis and triage related to migrated or transformed data.
- Analytics and insight: Support performance monitoring and benefits measurement, and contribute to dashboards or reports that enable data-driven decisions.
- Business and stakeholder engagement: Work with business subject ‑matter experts to understand how data is used in current and future processes. Translate complex data issues into clear impacts, options, and recommendations for non‑technical stakeholders. Support business readiness by helping stakeholders understand changes to data, definitions, and availability, because of migration.
- Governance, standards and continuous improvement: Maintain data quality and governance, meeting privacy, security and other requirements. Provide clear data advice, insights and improvements to business and technical stakeholders.
- Collaboration & agile delivery: Partner with program, product and engineering leads to shape requirements and delivery priorities. Provide end‑to‑end support across migration test phases, go‑live, and post‑implementation hypercare, ensuring service stability and structured handover to BAU operations. Participate in Agile ceremonies including sprint planning, backlog refinement, daily standups, and retrospectives.

- Deep knowledge of ETL concepts with hands‑on experience using industry‑leading tools, such as Informatica and Microsoft SSIS, to design and implement robust, scalable data pipelines.
- Advanced SQL and data analysis expertise, with exceptional attention to detail and a strong focus on data accuracy, completeness, and integrity.
- Experience with AWS services including AWS Glue, Amazon S3, and other cloud-native data engineering and analytics solutions.
- Experience working with Python/Pyspark is highly regarded but not essential.
- Exposure to Salesforce platform migrations is highly favoured but not essential.
- Demonstrated commitment to data governance, security, and regulatory compliance.
