Data Transformation Lead

Business Area: HR

Place of Work: Liverpool

Contract Type: Fixed Term Contract

When you join USS, the size and scale of our pension scheme means you will have numerous opportunities to learn and develop your career. Given our size you'll have real autonomy and influence as you collaborate closely with a wide-ranging team of experts.

Our office is a vibrant place to work, and we offer flexibility of office/homeworking due to our hybrid model.

About the role

The Data Transformation Lead will play a key role in supporting the successful delivery of the HRIS system transformation programme. Working across HR, Technology and Data Governance workstreams, the role will lead analytical activity to ensure high quality data modelling, data frameworks, data validation and data migration processes are delivered.

This role is critical to aligning the HRIS replacement with the wider organisational Data Governance programme, supporting the development of a robust and future ready HR data landscape.

What you will be doing

As a trusted part of the HR team you will be responsible for:

1. Data Analysis & Requirements

Analyse the current data landscape, mapping data sources, transformations and uses of data across the lifecycle.
Translate business requirements, complex business processes and disparate data silos into data specifications, representing the data needs of the HR team and the downstream consumers of data.
Partner with Data Governance leads to define data ownership, stewardship and quality rules.
Support RFP processes, assessing prospective vendors based upon USS’s data needs.
Support the creation and maintenance of data dictionaries, business glossaries and metadata standards.
Partner with the Data Architect to support the development of conceptual, logical and physical data models for HR data domains to support HRIS design and integration.
Undertake all data activities in accordance with the requirements of the internal data governance and information security frameworks, and USS’s regulatory obligations.

2. Data Quality, Validation & Controls

Lead the development of data validation rules and quality checkpoints across all HR data sets.
Conduct data profiling, data audits and integrity checks to identify risks, gaps and anomalies.
Recommend remediation actions to improve data accuracy, consistency, and completeness.
Support identification and documentation of critical data elements and associated quality thresholds.

3. Data Migration (HRIS Replacement Programme)

Work closely with HRIS vendors, Head of HR Operations & Transformation and technology teams to design and execute data migration plans.
Define transformation rules and mapping specifications from legacy HR systems to new technologies.
Support migration testing cycles (SIT, UAT, parallel runs), including reconciliation of migrated data.
Ensure data migration activity aligns with the AS IS data landscape and target state design.

4. Collaboration & Stakeholder Engagement

Work across HR, Technology, Programme Management, and Data Oversight to ensure cohesive data approaches.
Translate complex data concepts into clear, business friendly insights and documentation.
Support workshops on data structures, data ownership, definitions, and requirements.
Provide subject matter expertise to HR workstreams including HR Ops, Payroll, Reward, Resourcing, Learning and HRBP functions.

5. Reporting & Insight Enablement

Contribute to the development of scalable, accurate data structures enabling future HR reporting and analytics.
Ensure HRIS design and data models support strategic reporting needs (e.g., workforce, payroll, reward, talent, EDI).
Support transitioning reporting logic from legacy tools (e.g., iTrent, Focuss, OMNI, SharePoint, Excel/PowerBI).

We know that sometimes people can be put off applying for a job if they don't tick every box, if you're excited about working for us and have most of the skills or experience we're looking for, then please apply, regardless of whether you meet all the requirements outlined in this profile.

To be successful in the role you will have:

Experience working as a Data Transformation Lead and/or Senior Data Analyst, with an excellent understanding of data, best practices and regulatory requirements.
Operated in a similar role on system transformation programmes.
Knowledge of data modelling practices, including conceptual and logical model creation.
Proven experience in data migration for large scale HR or ERP systems.
Strong analytical, problem solving and data validation skills.
Familiarity with data governance principles (data ownership, stewardship, data quality).
Ability to produce clear documentation and communicate complex concepts with non technical stakeholders.
Proficiency with analytical and data tools (e.g., SQL, Excel, PowerBI).
Understanding of modern data warehouses, data lakes and data lakehouses would be beneficial.
