Ways to make things better.

At Lincolnshire Co-op, data is more than reports—it helps us make the right decisions for people
.

We’re looking for a Data Analyst to join our Payroll and Pensions team
, helping make sure the data behind key processes is accurate, dependable and ready to support important decisions.

Because when the data is right, everything works more smoothly.

Where detail makes the difference

It’s about getting things right for people.

Where curiosity meets accuracy

You’ll work with the data that colleagues depend on—checking, cleansing and improving it so it tells a clear, reliable story.

One day, you might be identifying gaps across pension member records.
The next, tracking updates, resolving discrepancies or supporting an important data project.

You’ll focus on:

• Investigating data and asking “what needs a closer look?”
• Cleansing and validating payroll and pension datasets
• Monitoring changes and keeping records accurate and audit-ready
• Supporting reports and sharing updates with the wider team
• Working with colleagues and stakeholders to provide trusted data and insight
• Building your knowledge across wider payroll and pensions processes

Because this role isn’t just about looking after data.

It’s about making it better.
