Company and team

Role purpose

Remediation planning and delivery

• Own a sequenced remediation backlog with clear scope, dependencies, resource needs and completion criteria.
• Establish a data-quality baseline and identify root causes, including migration gaps, inconsistent practices, unclear ownership and process weaknesses.
• Prioritize work according to customer, cash, accounting, regulatory, reporting and operational risk.
• Lead remediation, delegate repeatable work to a junior analyst, review outputs and maintain quality control.
• Maintain the delivery plan, decision log, escalation route and evidence; identify blockers and recommend practical resolutions.

Data integrity and reconciliation

• Review and remediate customer, contract and asset data, including relationships, payment schedules, rates, charges, residual values, status, key dates, ownership and fund or entity allocation.
• Resolve issues involving asset splits, multiple assets under one agreement, amendments and contract structures not fully addressed during migration.
• Reconcile Aspire data against agreements, historic records, cash records, finance ledgers and portfolio reporting; work with Finance where accounting judgment is needed.
• Define authoritative data sources, validation rules, tolerances and exception categories; keep changes controlled, evidenced and suitable for audit review.
• Develop exception reporting and data-quality measures so Operations can address new issues before they affect customers, cash or reporting.

In-life management and controls

Requirements

• Ability to analyse, correct and validate customer, contract and asset-level data.
• Ability to plan and deliver controlled remediation, with risk-based priorities, quality checks and evidence of completed work.
• Ability to work with Operations, Finance, Investment, Technology and an external system provider.
