Data Migration Consultant - £625 per day Inside IR35 - Global Business
A consumer-focused business based in Southampton is delivering a major Salesforce transformation and is seeking an experienced Data Migration Lead to own and deliver a complex data migration programme.
This role will be responsible for migrating data from three legacy platforms that currently do not provide high-quality or reliable data into a new Salesforce environment. The successful candidate will play a critical role in ensuring data quality, managing complexity, and delivering a robust migration strategy that supports improved customer insight and business decision-making.
The Role
* Lead the end-to-end migration of data from multiple legacy systems into Salesforce.
* Define, own, and execute the data migration strategy in line with a newly created business and technology strategy.
* Plan, manage, and deliver migration dry runs, resolving issues ahead of final cutover.
* Work closely with a Salesforce implementation partner to define data selection criteria and apply transformation and data quality rules.
* Ensure the right data is migrated at the right time, with appropriate governance and controls.
* Engage with a wide range of stakeholders across a matrix organisation, navigating complexity and slower decision-making where required.
* Clearly articulate migration plans, risks, dependencies, and progress to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
The Person
* Proven experience defining and delivering data migration strategies end to end.
* Strong technical data migration expertise, ideally within Salesforce or a similar CRM platform.
* Experience working with complex or poor-quality legacy data and transforming it into trusted customer data.
* Comfortable working alongside external implementation partners.
* Highly organised, with the ability to orchestrate complex delivery programmes.
* A confident communicator who can clearly explain what data should be migrated, how it will be migrated, and when migration should occur.
Why Join
* Opportunity to play a key role in a high-profile Salesforce transformation.
* Exposure to enterprise-scale data migration within a consumer-facing business.
