ERP Data Migration Lead
We are seeking an experienced ERP Data Migration Lead to join the technology and data team of a fast-growing UK retailer. This is a hands-on opportunity for an experienced data migration professional with a strong background in ERP data migration, data transformation, data integration and complex enterprise data environments, ideally gained within the retail, e-commerce or FMCG sector.
The successful candidate will take ownership of the ERP data migration workstream, working across business, technology and data teams to ensure that data is accurately extracted, transformed, cleansed, validated and migrated into the target ERP environment. This is not a purely programme management or coordination role; we are looking for someone who is technically hands-on, comfortable working directly with data, writing SQL, investigating source systems, developing transformation logic and resolving complex data issues.
This is an Outside IR35 contract opportunity and will suit an experienced ERP Data Migration Lead who enjoys working close to the detail, taking ownership of complex migration challenges and delivering high-quality migration solutions within a fast-paced retail environment. You will be responsible for the end-to-end data migration lifecycle, from initial discovery and source-system assessment through to data profiling, extraction, source-to-target mapping, transformation, cleansing, loading, validation, reconciliation, testing, cutover and post-migration support. You will work closely with ERP programme teams, business SMEs, technical architects, application teams and data engineers to understand how data is currently structured and used across the organisation and how it needs to be represented within the target ERP platform.
