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.

Are you considering a career change into machine learning in your 30s, 40s or 50s? You’re not alone. In the UK, organisations across industries such as finance, healthcare, retail, government & technology are investing in machine learning to improve decisions, automate processes & unlock new insights.

This article gives you a practical, UK-focused reality check: which machine learning roles truly exist, what skills employers really hire for, how long retraining realistically takes, how to position your experience and whether age matters in your favour or not. Whether you come from analytics, engineering, operations, research, compliance or business strategy, there is a credible route into machine learning if you approach it strategically.

How to Write a Machine Learning Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Machine learning now sits at the heart of many UK organisations, powering everything from recommendation engines and fraud detection to forecasting, automation and decision support. As adoption grows, so does demand for skilled machine learning professionals. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Machine learning job adverts often generate high volumes of applications, but few applicants have the blend of modelling skill, engineering awareness and real-world experience the role actually requires. Meanwhile, strong machine learning engineers and scientists quietly avoid adverts that feel vague, inflated or confused. In most cases, the issue is not the talent market — it is the job advert itself. Machine learning professionals are analytical, technically rigorous and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals unclear expectations and low ML maturity. A well-written one signals credibility, focus and a serious approach to applied machine learning. This guide explains how to write a machine learning job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and strengthens your employer brand.

Maths for Machine Learning Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

Machine learning job adverts in the UK love vague phrases like “strong maths” or “solid fundamentals”. That can make the whole field feel gatekept especially if you are a career changer or a student who has not touched maths since A level. Here is the practical truth. For most roles on MachineLearningJobs.co.uk such as Machine Learning Engineer, Applied Scientist, Data Scientist, NLP Engineer, Computer Vision Engineer or MLOps Engineer with modelling responsibilities the maths you actually use is concentrated in four areas: Linear algebra essentials (vectors, matrices, projections, PCA intuition) Probability & statistics (uncertainty, metrics, sampling, base rates) Calculus essentials (derivatives, chain rule, gradients, backprop intuition) Basic optimisation (loss functions, gradient descent, regularisation, tuning) If you can do those four things well you can build models, debug training, evaluate properly, explain trade-offs & sound credible in interviews. This guide gives you a clear scope plus a six-week learning plan, portfolio projects & resources so you can learn with momentum rather than drowning in theory.
