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.

Where to Advertise Machine Learning Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise machine learning jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and communities that reach ML, MLOps and deep learning engineering talent. The candidate pool is small, highly specialised and in demand across AI labs, financial services, healthcare, autonomous systems and consumer technology simultaneously. Machine learning engineers and researchers move between roles through professional networks, conference communities and specialist platforms — not general job boards where ML roles compete with unrelated software engineering positions for the same audience. This guide, published by MachineLearningJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise machine learning roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Machine Learning Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Machine Learning Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the MLOps, LLM and generative AI hiring trends shaping UK ML careers over the next three years. Machine learning has undergone a transformation that few technology disciplines can match. In the space of three years it has moved from a specialism sitting at the edges of most organisations' technology strategies to a capability that sits at the centre of them. The tools have changed, the expectations have shifted, and the range of industries treating machine learning as a core business function — rather than an experimental one — has expanded dramatically. For job seekers, this creates both opportunity and complexity in roughly equal measure. The machine learning jobs market of 2026 is significantly larger than it was three years ago, but it is also significantly more demanding. Employers have developed more sophisticated expectations, the technical bar for specialist roles has risen, and the landscape of tools, frameworks, and architectural patterns that practitioners are expected to know has broadened considerably. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the discipline is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping what machine learning engineers and researchers are expected to build, and how the definition of a machine learning career is evolving beyond the model-building core toward a much wider range of roles across the full ML lifecycle. This article breaks down what the UK machine learning jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
