Marc Daniels is working with a large, forward-thinking organisation that is investing heavily in new systems, smarter ways of working, and modern data practices. This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced data professional to play a key role in a major transformation programme, helping shape the future of finance data, reporting, and automation.

The business is undergoing significant change and is looking for someone who can lead the data workstream across ERP, migration, governance, and reporting readiness. You'll work closely with Finance, IT, Product, and implementation partners to ensure data is structured, accurate, and ready to support both current operations and future analytics ambitions.

You will bring structure and visibility to the data landscape, define key standards, and support the business in building a robust and sustainable data governance model.

This role will suit someone who enjoys working across functions, influencing stakeholders and has experience implementing a new ERP system. You'll be central to ensuring that data is not only ready for go-live, but also designed to support automation, standardisation, and long-term improvement.

Key Responsibilities

· Coordinate across Finance, Product, IT, and implementation partners to ensure aligned delivery of data activities.

· Track and report end-to-end data readiness, including quality, completeness, and migration status.

· Ensure data is designed to support end-to-end process standardisation, automation, and future AI and analytics use cases.

· Define and implement post go-live data governance, controls, and ownership models.

· Embed sustainable processes to maintain and continuously improve data quality after deployment.
