Technical Data Consultant - 3 Month ContractUp to £550 P/D Outside IR35Manchester - Hybrid (x2 days a week)
We're recruiting on behalf of a well-established gambling and gaming organisation seeking a Technical Data Consultant to support a focused discovery and documentation engagement.
This is a hands-on contract for someone who enjoys stepping into complex, legacy-leaning data environments and making them understandable, supportable, and less reliant on individual knowledge.
The role
You'll be brought in to:
* Investigate and reverse-engineer live data platforms with limited documentation
* Build a clear picture of the current-state data architecture and data flows
* Review and document business-critical SQL and transformation logic
* Produce practical operational documentation and runbooks
* Work closely with long-tenured engineers to capture knowledge and reduce key-person risk
The focus is clarity, stability, and handover - not greenfield delivery or re-platforming.
What we're looking for
* Strong experience in data discovery, platform recovery, or reverse-engineering work
* Background as a Data Consultant, Data Architect, or similar
* Solid knowledge of SQL / SQL Server and AWS-based data platforms
* Comfortable creating architecture diagrams, data definitions, and operational guides
Contract details
* Rate: Up to £550 per day
* Scope: Outside IR35
* Location: Central Manchester (2 days per week on-site)
* Duration: 3 months initially
This role will suit someone who enjoys problem-solving in ambiguous environments and leaving things in a better state than they found them.
