Keystone, built on the Microsoft Power Platform, will completely reshape how we manage client data and relationships. By joining the project team, you'll make a direct impact on a high-profile programme that's central to our future success. About The Role 6 month contract As a Data Engineer, you'll take ownership of transforming, reshaping and migrating data from our legacy CRM and CMI systems into Keystone. You'll make sure the data is accurate, complete and reliable, applying validation techniques and developing smart programmatic solutions to de-duplicate and cleanse client records. You'll collaborate closely with project managers, developers and stakeholders to resolve data challenges as they arise, ensuring we stay on track and meet key deadlines. Alongside this, you'll document processes to maintain transparency and reproducibility, and you'll make sure every part of your work meets governance, compliance and technical standards.

About You You're an experienced Data Engineer with a solid background in transformation and migration projects, ideally within enterprise environments. You have excellent SQL skills and hands-on knowledge of Microsoft technologies, particularly the Power Platform and Azure Data Factory. You'll know how to apply data quality and validation techniques effectively, and you'll be comfortable designing programmatic approaches to cleansing and de-duplicating data. You enjoy problem-solving, working analytically and getting into the detail of data to make sure it meets the highest standards. At the same time, you'll be a strong collaborator, able to communicate clearly with colleagues across the business and keep stakeholders engaged throughout the process. Experience with CRM or CMI systems, such as InforCRM or Intapp Open, will be highly valuable. If you've worked in the legal or professional services sector before, you'll bring useful context, although this isn't essential. What matters most is your technical expertise, your drive to deliver quality outcomes, and your enthusiasm for being part of a forward-looking project team where your work will have a visible, lasting impact.
