## About the Role

* Strong data extraction and scripting skills, including SQL and a scripting language such as Python
 * Experience with data profiling, cleansing, de-duplication, and metadata/schema mapping across disparate, messy sources
 * Comfort reconciling structured and unstructured data from multiple systems into one clean data set
 * A methodical, detail-obsessed approach focused on data accuracy, traceability, and repeatability
 * Good judgement on when to escalate rather than infer, especially with ambiguous, incomplete, or sensitive records
 * Experience handling confidential or commercially sensitive data professionally and securely

## Description

* Lead a time-boxed data migration project to extract, profile, clean, de-duplicate, and migrate executed contracts into a new internal repository
 * Inventory every source system, produce record and document counts, and assess data quality, access routes, and risk
 * Write and run scripts to pull documents and structured or unstructured metadata in bulk from multiple systems
 * Consolidate source data into a single staging dataset and apply documented rules for duplicate resolution
 * Build and populate a metadata register against agreed core fields, explicitly flagging gaps rather than inferring or leaving blanks
 * Run a sample migration to test and refine mapping logic and transformation rules before scaling up
 * Execute the full bulk migration into the new repository structure using the agreed schema and naming convention
 * Produce clear documentation and handover notes covering what was migrated, what could not be migrated and why, anomalies, and the scripts and logic used

Technologies:

 * Python
 * SQL
 * SharePoint

More:

We are building a brand-new internal contract hub to replace our legacy contract tracking tools. This is a short-term contract of approximately 30 days on a day-rate basis, outside IR35, and remote within the UK. You will work across multiple disconnected sources, including eSignature platforms, a legacy SQL database, SharePoint, and old ticketing systems, to create a single reconciled and trustworthy dataset. This role is focused on data quality and data engineering, with a strong emphasis on traceability, repeatability, and auditable migration. If you receive suspicious outreach claiming to be from us, please contact us via the ManpowerGroup website.
