Working across Finance and Professional Services data, you'll define the migration strategy, lead a team of data analysts, and provide delivery assurance across the SI and internal teams from planning through SIT, UAT and cutover. This is a hands-on leadership role for a confident self-starter who can drive a multi-country, multi-entity migration to a clean, auditable finish.
Key Responsibilities

- Co-host data migration workshops aligned to programme planning.
- Ensure data preparation, load and test activities follow the migration plan.
- Monitor and measure the quality of migrated data on the target platform.
- Drive resolution of data issues through SIT, UAT and cutover.
- Co-facilitate data workstream status meetings and programme reporting.
- Manage the internal team's extraction, transformation and delivery of finance and customer data.
- Lead data governance activities and PMO updates.
- Ensure all migration activity master and transactional is auditable and traceable.
- Build strong relationships with business stakeholders and data owners; escalate delivery risks to programme leadership.
- Lead and maximise utilisation of the data analyst team.
- Support capture of client hierarchy where it does not currently exist.
