Are you an experienced Project Manager with a strong background in data migration and large-scale transformation programmes?
Do you enjoy working in complex stakeholder environments and driving successful delivery across high-profile transformation initiatives?
We're looking for a Data Migration Project Manager to support major Central Government transformation programmes. Working alongside programme leadership, technical specialists, suppliers, and customer stakeholders, you'll take ownership of a critical data migration workstream and be responsible for ensuring successful delivery from planning through to completion.
Role Overview
This is not a hands-on technical data migration role. Instead, you'll provide strong project leadership, governance, and control across migration activities, ensuring teams remain aligned, risks are managed effectively, and programme milestones are achieved. This is an opportunity to play a key role in delivering transformational change across multiple government organisations while working on complex and rewarding programmes.
Responsibilities
- Managing the end-to-end delivery of a data migration workstream within a large-scale transformation programme.
- Developing and maintaining project plans, delivery schedules, governance controls, and reporting mechanisms.
- Managing project finances, risks, issues, dependencies, and programme reporting.
- Coordinating internal teams, suppliers, technical specialists, and stakeholders to ensure successful delivery.
- Overseeing migration activities including extraction, transformation, cleansing, validation, reconciliation, loading, and cutover planning.
- Building strong stakeholder relationships and supporting delivery against key programme milestones.
