Technical Data Consultant - 3 Month Contract
Up to £550 P/D Outside IR35
Manchester - 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:
1. Investigate and reverse‑engineer live data platforms with limited documentation
2. Build a clear picture of the current‑state data architecture and data flows
3. Review and document business‑critical SQL and transformation logic
4. Produce practical operational documentation and runbooks
5. 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
6. Strong experience in data discovery, platform recovery, or reverse‑engineering work
7. Background as a Data Consultant, Data Architect, or similar
8. Solid knowledge of SQL / SQL Server and AWS‑based data platforms
9. Comfortable creating architecture diagrams, data definitions, and operational guides
Contract details
10. Rate: Up to £550 per day
11. Scope: Outside IR35
12. Location: Central Manchester (2 days per week on‑site)
13. 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.
