Data Migration Manager
Data Migration Project Manager
A VC-backed group building an AI-enabled roll-up in the UK property services sector is hiring a Data Migration Project Manager to own data migration across every acquisition.
This is a newly created role and the single dedicated owner of data migration across the group. Today’s work is split thinly across several people who handle it alongside their day job, which slows down integrations. You’ll own the process end-to-end, managing qualifications from kick-off through data mapping, sandbox review, and go-live, working closely with an external migration platform partner and stakeholders across acquired businesses.
Role Overview
Job Title: Data Migration Project Manager Salary: £60,000 – £70,000 Location: UK-based, London preferred, with significant UK travel during the kick-off and data-mapping phases of each integration
Responsibilities
- Own each acquired business’s data migration process, from kick-off to go-live, within tight timelines (typically ~60 days).
- Set up access and establish extraction and transformation pipelines with the external migration partner, driving field-mapping decisions.
- Profile messy source data, identify behind-the-scenes spreadsheets and shadow systems, and validate records line by line.
- Act as the single point of contact between the acquired business, the migration platform partner, and internal teams (product, finance, operations).
- Develop a data requirements playbook to align future migrations with upfront planning.
- Capture customer and context data from key staff before acquisition-driven departures.
- Refine templates, mapping standards, and checklists through repeated processes, aiming for a repeatable, scalable approach across the organisation.
