This is primarily a non-client-facing role that plays a key part behind the scenes, requiring focus, consistency, and comfort with repetitive work.  It’s a great fit for someone who enjoys working with data in a structured way and takes pride in getting the details right.

You’ll be instrumental in fostering a collaborative team culture, driving consistency in our data conversions, and contributing to the growth of both your team and our global function.

Applicants must have, and maintain, the right to work in the United Kingdom from the first day of employment. Please note that visa sponsorship is not available for this role.

## What You’ll Do

- Lead and mentor a team of Data Validation Specialists, supporting career development, delivering regular feedback, and helping individuals thrive in their role
- Manage a team’s work allocation, prioritization, and execution to ensure on-time, high-quality project delivery
- Review and audit data validation projects to ensure adherence to standards and best practices
- Drive process improvements to increase data occurrence, reduce turnaround time, and enhance scalability

- Collaborate cross-functionally across global teams, including Sales, Client Solutions, Product, and Engineering, to deliver integrated solutions
- Foster a team culture that values collaboration, learning, and a shared commitment to client success
- Identify and implement AI-driven automation and LLM integrations to streamline implementation

## Who You Are

- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent, ideally in Business, Finance, Math, Economics, or another data-oriented field
- 3+ years of experience in data validation, financial operations, data quality assurance, or a related field
- 1+ year of people leadership or team coordination experience preferred
- Strong organizational and analytical skills, with a proven track record of maintaining accuracy in high-volume data environments
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to guide and influence across teams
- Proficiency with spreadsheets (e.g., Excel), internal tools, and web-based platforms
- Familiarity with financial data is a plus, but not required. Quick to learn new systems and follow structured processes for data navigation and validation
- Process-oriented with a continuous improvement mindset and strong attention to detail

## Our Values

- Act Like an Owner - Think and operate with intention, purpose and care. Own outcomes.

PHISHING SCAM WARNING: Addepar is among several companies recently made aware of a phishing scam involving con artists posing as hiring managers recruiting via email, text and social media. The imposters are creating misleading email accounts, conducting remote “interviews,” and making fake job offers in order to collect personal and financial information from unsuspecting individuals. Please be aware that no job offers will be made from Addepar without a formal interview process. Additionally, Addepar will not ask you to purchase equipment or supplies as part of your onboarding process. If you have any questions, please reach out to ta-operations@addepar.com.
