Data Migration Project Manager
Permanent · Remote-first · Competitive salary · Occasional travel to client sites
The job in 30 seconds
You'll lead the data migration workstream within a large-scale platform transformation, working alongside other project managers and reporting to a programme director. That means owning the migration plan from source analysis through to cutover — coordinating the people, the sequencing, and the quality gates that make sure data lands safely. If you've run multi-wave migrations before and thrive in a structured programme environment, this is the role.
What your week looks like as our Project Manager
You run multi-stage data migrations into a consolidated target platform — profiling sources, managing mapping and transformation rules, coordinating cleansing, running rehearsal cycles, and executing cutover.
You build and maintain migration run-books, wave sequencing plans, and rollback strategies so that every migration event is controlled and repeatable.
You work with business SMEs to resolve mapping conflicts, validate transformation logic, and get sign-off at each readiness gate.
You manage the dependencies between migration waves and parallel integration delivery across Azure and Microsoft cloud components.
You sit close enough to the solution design to challenge assumptions and surface risks before they become blockers — without needing to build anything yourself.
You coordinate go-live readiness across data, environments, integration, and support teams, then see it through stabilisation.
You report migration progress, risks, and decisions to programme leadership clearly and without unnecessary noise.
What you bring as our Project Manager
You'll need:
Hands-on experience managing data migration projects — ideally multi-wave, involving legacy decommission or platform consolidation
A solid understanding of the migration lifecycle: profiling, mapping, transformation, reconciliation, rehearsal, cutover
The ability to read data models, mapping specs, and ETL/ELT designs well enough to know when something doesn't add up
A track record of coordinating data engineers, architects, business SMEs, and third-party vendors through structured delivery
Strong RAID, dependency, and sequencing management across concurrent workstreams
Communication that works for both technical teams and senior stakeholders
Helpful but not required:
Exposure to Dataverse, Dynamics 365, or Azure data services (Data Factory, Synapse)
Experience with data quality tooling or reconciliation frameworks
Background in regulated or large enterprise environments
Familiarity with integration patterns that sit alongside migration activity
What you get
Remote-first flexibility — work from home as standard, with occasional travel to client sites when needed.
Migration work that matters — multi-source, multi-wave data programmes where your planning directly determines whether the programme lands.
Architecture-led clarity — established technical patterns and experienced architects, so you're managing delivery, not guessing at design.
Career progression — support to move into senior delivery, migration lead, or data architecture pathways.
Competitive salary plus benefits, aligned to mid–senior PM market rates.
