Data Management Specialist
First seen by Alion on Oct 14, 2026.
At Quooker, we believe that high-quality data is essential for growth, innovation, and informed decision-making. As a Data Management Specialist, you play a key role in further professionalising our data landscape. You ensure that data is reliable, consistent, and fit for purpose, enabling the organisation to work in a truly data-driven way based on clear definitions, standards, and quality principles.
You work closely with colleagues across different disciplines and act as the connecting link between business, processes, and data. In this role, you analyse datasets within Microsoft Fabric, develop methods for measuring data quality, and translate insights into tangible improvement initiatives. You monitor progress, make results transparent, and ensure that improvements demonstrably enhance the quality of our most critical data assets.
In addition, you are responsible for maintaining and continuously improving data and KPI definitions. You advise business analysts and other stakeholders on data standards, governance, and data quality matters, while ensuring that policies, guidelines, and agreements remain up to date. Through your expertise, trust in data grows and the organisation’s overall data maturity continues to evolve.
Beyond identifying improvement opportunities, you are skilled at building engagement and support across the organisation. You can translate complex data-related challenges into clear and actionable insights for a variety of audiences and help teams embed data quality as a structural part of their daily ways of working.
You will become part of our Data Competence Center, where you will collaborate with experienced architects and data & analytics engineers. Within this environment, you will have ample opportunity to exchange knowledge, further develop your expertise, and actively contribute to the continued growth of data management at Quooker.
