1What this role really is

This role is all about making sure the data that runs our Operations is spot on. You'll be the person digging into the details, cleaning up messy records, and making sure our systems have reliable information. Think of yourself as a data detective, solving puzzles to keep things running smoothly. It's a hands-on job, focusing on specific data sets that are critical for our day-to-day business.

2What you'd actually use

The tools this job runs on, and how well you'd need to know each one.

SAP S/4HANAIntermediate

4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

Data Accuracy Rate

The percentage of records you've touched (entered, corrected, validated) that are free from errors.

Target · >99.5% on manually entered/corrected records

If you process 1,000 records in a week, we'd expect fewer than 5 errors to be found during our spot checks. This means catching that missing postcode or the wrong product code before it goes live.

Records Processed & Cleansed

The volume of data records you've successfully validated, corrected, or entered within a given period.

Target · 500+ records cleansed/validated per week (this can vary by complexity)

You might clear a backlog of 150 incorrect vendor addresses on Monday and then validate 350 new product entries by Friday. It's about consistent output.

Ticket Resolution Time

How quickly you resolve data quality issues reported by other teams.

Target · Resolve 90% of Tier 1 tickets within 48-hour SLA

A Logistics team member flags an incorrect warehouse location for a product. You investigate, correct the record in SAP, and close the ticket within a day, preventing further shipping errors.

Reduction in Rework

The decrease in instances where your corrected data needs to be re-corrected by someone else, or where a process you've improved still causes errors.

Target · Reduce rework on your assigned data domains by 10% quarter-on-quarter

After you implement a new validation check for supplier bank details, the number of 'payment failed' notifications from Finance drops by 15% in the next quarter. That's real impact.

Proactive Issue Identification

You don't just fix what's broken; you spot potential problems before they become big headaches.

You're flagging recurring data patterns to your manager, suggesting new validation rules, or pointing out gaps in our current processes. You're bringing solutions, not just problems. For instance, you might notice a trend of missing data in a specific report and proactively investigate the source system, rather than waiting for someone to complain.

Documentation Quality & Contribution

How well you keep our data quality processes and rules documented, and how much you contribute to our knowledge base.

Your process guides are clear, easy to follow, and kept up to date. Other team members can pick up your documentation and understand how to perform a task. You're adding new articles or improving existing ones in our internal wiki. This means less time spent answering the same questions repeatedly.

Cross-functional Collaboration & Communication

How effectively you work with other teams to get the data you need or explain data issues.

You're getting information from Procurement or Finance without causing friction. You can clearly explain a data problem to a non-technical colleague in a way they understand. People generally find you easy to work with and appreciate your help. This isn't about being 'best friends' but about getting the job done efficiently across departments.

Adherence to Data Governance Standards

Following our established rules and policies for managing data.

You consistently apply the 'golden record' principles, use approved cleansing rules, and correctly classify data according to our internal standards. You understand why these rules exist and generally stick to them, even when it's a bit more effort. This shows you're taking ownership of data integrity.

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy

Solving Puzzles & Fixing Things

You get a real kick out of untangling complex data discrepancies, finding the root cause of an error, and implementing a fix that actually works. It's like being a detective every day.

Spending an afternoon tracing why a specific product's weight was wrong in the system, only to discover a manual entry error from months ago, and then correcting it across all affected records. That 'aha!' moment is what drives you.

Making a Tangible Impact

You want to see your work directly contribute to smoother operations, fewer errors, and happier colleagues. You're not just pushing papers; you're making things better.

When the Logistics team tells you that since you cleaned up the supplier address data, their delivery errors have dropped significantly, you feel a genuine sense of accomplishment. You can see the direct result of your efforts.

Order & Structure

You thrive in environments where you can bring order to chaos, standardise processes, and ensure consistency. Messy data gives you an itch you need to scratch.

Taking a chaotic spreadsheet of new product features and systematically organising it, applying consistent naming conventions, and then importing it cleanly into the master data system. That feeling of a job well-organised is key for you.

What frustrates people

The 'Garbage In, Garbage Out' Battle: Constantly explaining to leadership that their fancy BI dashboards are useless because the underlying source data from other departments is fundamentally flawed.
Being the 'Data Police': You're sometimes seen as a bureaucratic bottleneck who says 'no' rather than a strategic partner enabling the business. It's tough to be the bearer of bad news about data quality.
Shadow IT Spreadsheets: Winning the war to clean the ERP, only to lose the battle to a dozen 'mission-critical' VLOOKUP-riddled spreadsheets managed by the Sales Ops team. It's like whack-a-mole.
Fixing Symptoms, Not Causes: Spending 80% of your time on manual cleanup because you can't get the political capital or resources to fix the broken upstream process that creates the errors in the first place. It can feel like running on a treadmill.
Unrealistic Expectations: Being asked to 'just quickly clean' a dataset of 5 million records that has been neglected for a decade, with a deadline of next Friday. It's a constant battle against time and scope.
Thankless Invisibility: When data is clean and reports are accurate, no one notices. The moment one number is off, it's a four-alarm fire and everyone's looking at you. It can feel like you only get attention when something goes wrong.

What this role does not give you

High-level strategic decision-making (that comes later in your career).
A lot of greenfield project work (it's more about improving existing data).
A role where you rarely have to deal with messy, frustrating data (that's literally the job).
A quiet, solitary role – you'll be talking to people a fair bit to get to the bottom of things.

6Who you work with

Your work directly underpins the efficiency and accuracy of our entire operational backbone. Clean data means fewer errors in orders, smoother inventory management, and reliable reporting for senior leadership. Get it wrong, and you're looking at delayed shipments, incorrect invoices, and unhappy customers. Frankly, you're a bit of an unsung hero, making sure the gears of the business turn without grinding to a halt.

Inside the business

Operations Managers (e.g., Logistics, Supply Chain, Production)
Procurement Team (for vendor data)
Finance Department (for invoice and supplier accuracy)
Product Team (for material master data)
IT Support (for system issues)
Customer Service (when data errors impact customers)

Outside the business

No direct external stakeholders, but your work impacts our suppliers and customers indirectly.

7What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

At least 2-5 years of hands-on experience in a data-focused role, ideally within an Operations or similar environment.
Demonstrable experience with data entry, data validation, and basic data cleansing tasks.
A solid understanding of relational databases and the ability to write basic SQL queries.
Proven ability to use advanced Excel functions for data manipulation and analysis.
Experience working with an ERP system (like SAP S/4HANA) for data retrieval and entry.
A track record of identifying and resolving data discrepancies.

8What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

While you currently view dashboards, being able to build more robust, efficient data models and write simple DAX (Data Analysis Expressions) will allow you to create more powerful data quality reports and self-service tools for Operations.

Understanding star schema and snowflake schema for · Creating relationships between tables in Power BI · Writing basic DAX measures (e.g., SUMX, CALCULATE) · Optimising Power BI reports for performance and us

This quarter: Complete a foundational Power BI data modelling course.
Next quarter: Try to build a small, simple data quality dashboard from scratch, focusing on a single data domain.
Month 6: Experiment with writing your first few DAX measures for common data quality metrics.
Ongoing: Look for opportunities to improve existing Power BI reports or create new ones for your team.

Quick win: Try to recreate one of your existing Excel reports in Power BI, focusing on getting the data model right. You'll learn loads, even if it's not perfect.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up

Regularly engage with online learning platforms (e.g., LinkedIn Learning, Udemy, DataCamp) to brush up on SQL, Power BI, or data quality best practices.
Attend industry webinars or virtual conferences on data governance or operations data management.
Participate in internal company training programmes related to our ERP system (SAP) or data quality tools.
Join relevant professional communities or forums to stay updated on trends and share knowledge.

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how Quality Data Coordinator is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

Zavmo is a hyper-personalised AI learning platform. Twelve virtual tutors, each with a different way of teaching, and one orchestration agent that picks the right one for the moment. So every single lesson is shaped around you, your role, and the way you learn. Not a course everyone sits through. A conversation built for you, and no one else.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be honest, some parts of data quality work can be a bit of a grind. Repetitive checks, endless manual corrections, and trying to spot that one tiny error in a massive spreadsheet. Good news: AI isn't here to replace you, but it's definitely here to take the tedious bits off your plate.

Imagine having a smart assistant that handles the grunt work, freeing you up to focus on the truly interesting stuff – like solving the bigger data puzzles and figuring out *why* errors are happening. We're already seeing our team members use AI to make their days smoother, faster, and frankly, more enjoyable. Here's a peek at how you'll be using AI to get more done.

Automated Data Cleansing & Standardisation

Use AI models (especially those brilliant with language) to automatically parse, standardise, and correct unstructured data. Think addresses like 'St.', 'Street', 'Str.' all becoming 'Street' with no effort from you. It catches variations that even our best rule-based systems sometimes miss. This means less manual correction for you.

Anomaly & Outlier Detection

Deploy machine learning algorithms to keep an eye on our data streams in real-time. These clever bits of tech flag suspicious transactions or records that just don't look right compared to historical patterns. You'll catch errors *before* they even make it into our core systems, shifting your focus from fixing old problems to preventing new ones.

Data Rule & Policy Generation

Use a GenAI assistant to analyse a sample dataset and suggest potential data quality rules. It can spot patterns and recommend formats, ranges, or dependencies. You can even use it to draft initial data stewardship policies based on industry best practices. This seriously speeds up documentation and rule development, which is usually a slow process.

Stakeholder Communication & Training

Let AI help you craft tailored communications that explain the business impact of poor data quality to different departments. You can generate first drafts of training materials and standard operating procedures (SOPs) for new data entry processes. This means less time spent drafting emails and presentations, and more time actually doing the work.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows a Quality Data Coordinator, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 9 national skill standards. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming a Quality Data Coordinator: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.

Stay in the field you know and move sideways rather than up.

If you leave this industry

The skills you'll gain here – data quality, process understanding, ERP system knowledge, and analytical thinking – are highly transferable. You could move into data governance roles in almost any industry (e.g., Finance, Retail, Healthcare) or specialise further into areas like supply chain analytics or master data management.

Not sure this is the right direction?
