ERP Lead Data Analyst

Initial 3 month contract

Outside IR35

Mainly remote, occasional travel to Leeds


The ERP Lead Data Analyst will play a pivotal role in ensuring the success of Phase 0 (an initial phase of work to assess the viability of the business case) of the ERP programme, which focuses on understanding and preparing the data landscape across HR and Finance globally. This individual will lead efforts to identify, map, and assess key data sources, ensuring the groundwork is laid for seamless integration and transformation in subsequent project phases.


This is a hands-on role. During the first three months, the ERP Lead Data Analyst will need to engage closely with stakeholders across the business to gain a deep understanding of the current data landscape—identifying the systems and data in scope, defining key data requirements, and working with the system integrator (SI) to catalogue data while the SI produces the overall strategy. It is critical that whoever takes on this role is a diligent, self-organised professional who understands the importance of data quality, rather than someone who simply operates in a management role.


The exact deliverables will be agreed during initiation but the types of output we would expect to be delivered by this role would be a data inventory, a data mapping document and a data quality assessment.


Key responsibilities

  • Identify and document key data sources across HR and Finance globally, mapping them to ERP requirements.
  • Collaborate with stakeholders to define high-level data cleansing and transformation rules.
  • Conduct an initial assessment of data quality, highlighting risks and gaps.
  • Coordinate with HR and Finance teams to validate assumptions using preliminary data samples.
  • Provide inputs to the overall project plan, defining data-related timelines, risks, and resource needs.

The successful candidate will demonstrate the following:

Skills:

  • Strong data analysis and mapping capabilities, particularly in HR and Finance domains.
  • Effective stakeholder engagement and communication skills.
  • Ability to manage complex data landscapes and identify risks proactively.
  • Organisational skills to coordinate data activities across distributed teams.


Experience:

  • Proven experience in data lead roles within ERP projects, preferably SAP-based implementations.
  • Track record of working on complex, multi-country projects with diverse system landscapes.
  • Experience collaborating with System Integrators (SI) during project discovery and data strategy phases.


Knowledge:

  • Deep understanding of data requirements for HR and Finance processes in ERP contexts.
  • Familiarity with data governance, data quality assessment, and cleansing best practices.
  • Knowledge of global data compliance standards and regulations.

Rural-Remote Machine Learning Jobs: Finding Balance Beyond the Big Cities

Over the past decade, machine learning (ML) has transformed from a niche research domain into a pervasive technology underpinning everything from recommendation systems and voice assistants to financial forecasting and autonomous vehicles. Historically, the UK’s major tech hubs—particularly London—have been magnets for top ML talent and corporate headquarters. However, remote work has become mainstream, and many ML professionals are realising they can excel in their field while living far beyond the city limits. At MachineLearningJobs.co.uk, we’ve observed a growing interest in positions that allow for a rural lifestyle or a coastal environment, often reflected in search terms like “ML remote countryside” or “tech jobs by the sea.” This surge is no coincidence. Flexible work policies, better rural broadband, and the nature of machine learning tasks—much of which can be done through cloud platforms—are bringing new opportunities to those who wish to swap urban hustle for fresh air and scenic views. Whether you’re a data scientist, ML engineer, researcher, or product manager, a rural or seaside move could reinvigorate your work-life balance. In this article, we’ll unpack why rural-remote ML jobs are on the rise, how you can navigate the challenges of leaving the city, and what you need to do to thrive in a machine learning career beyond the M25. If you’ve dreamt of looking up from your laptop to rolling fields or ocean waves, keep reading—your rural ML role might be closer than you think.

Quantum-Enhanced Machine Learning—Propelling AI into the Next Frontier

Machine learning (ML) has revolutionised how we interpret data, build predictive models, and create intelligent applications. From recommendation engines and self-driving cars to advanced genomics and natural language processing, ML solutions are integral to nearly every corner of modern life. However, as data complexity and model size continue to skyrocket, the computational demands placed on ML systems grow in tandem—often pushing even high-performance classical computers to their limits. In recent years, quantum computing has emerged as a tantalising solution to these challenges. Unlike traditional digital systems, quantum computers exploit quantum mechanics—superposition and entanglement—to process information in ways that defy conventional logic. As these machines mature, they promise exponential speed-ups for certain tasks, potentially reshaping how we approach AI and data-intensive challenges. What does this mean for machine learning? Enter quantum-enhanced ML, a new frontier where quantum processors and classical ML frameworks unite to accelerate model training, tackle high-dimensional data, and solve complex optimisation tasks more efficiently. In this article, we will: Unpack the current state of machine learning, highlighting key bottlenecks. Provide a concise overview of quantum computing—why it’s radical and how it differs from classical technology. Examine potential breakthroughs in quantum-enhanced ML, including real-world use cases and technical approaches. Explore the roles and skill sets that will define this quantum-AI era, with guidance on how to prepare. Discuss the roadblocks (like hardware maturity and ethical concerns) and how they might be addressed in the years to come. If you’re a machine learning engineer, data scientist, or simply an AI enthusiast fascinated by the next wave of computational innovation, read on—quantum computing could become an integral part of your future toolkit, opening up job opportunities and reimagining what ML can achieve.
