M&A Data Analyst

West Midlands

Hybrid Working

Up to £60,000

Permanent – Full-time

We’re recruiting for an experienced M&A Data Analyst to support data migration and integration activity associated with ongoing acquisitions.

This is a hands-on, business-facing data role where you’ll work with information from acquired businesses, helping to understand, cleanse, map and validate data before and during integration.

The emphasis is on data analysis, accuracy and problem-solving, rather than highly technical data engineering.

What you’ll be doing

• Analysing data from acquired businesses as part of the integration process
• Reviewing large datasets and identifying data quality issues, gaps and inconsistencies
• Mapping data between existing and target systems
• Cleansing, manipulating and preparing data for migration
• Validating and reconciling data to ensure accuracy and completeness
• Investigating discrepancies and helping resolve data-related issues
• Supporting testing and checking data following migration
• Maintaining clear documentation around data mappings, quality checks and reconciliation
• Working closely with business users, technical teams and third-party suppliers
• Supporting multiple acquisition and integration projects at different stages

What we’re looking for

• Experience working with data as part of migration, integration or system implementation projects
• Strong Excel skills and confidence manipulating large datasets
• Experience with data mapping, cleansing, validation and reconciliation
• Strong understanding of data quality and data integrity
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills
• Ability to investigate discrepancies and identify their root cause
• Comfortable working with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple priorities
• Experience working in project or change environments

Previous exposure to M&A, acquisitions or post-acquisition integration would be particularly beneficial, alongside experience working in regulated or data-sensitive environments.
