Why this role is important to us 

We are looking for a Data Migration Specialist to join an experienced, delivery-focused team currently undertaking a data migration as part of a large-scale business transformation programme.

The Data Migration Specialist will have excellent technical skills, with extensive experience in MS SQL Server, and ideally other programming languages such as Python.

Work that matters – What you’ll be doing 

• Liaise with business and technical SMEs to understand the business processes and how users interact with data, highlighting and cataloguing key legacy data sources.
• Develop and implement a catalogue of data quality rules, engaging with business SMEs to review and validate these.
• Responsible for the delivery of the migration template mapping and business sign off, ensuring this is completed in line with the programme plan.
• Drive solutions to business and technical mapping challenges, collaborating with the Data Migration Lead and Migration Project Manager where escalations are required.
• Responsible for the build, test, and deployment of the migration transformation code in-line with the mapping requirements and agreed scope.
• Develop and implement programmatic constraint checks over the transformed data in-line with target data dictionaries / structures.
• Run the migration processes, leading to the production of valid load files in support of the programme data cycles.
