• You’ll lead the data migration workstream, coordinating technical teams, business stakeholders and interdependent activities.
• You’ll oversee data environment readiness across mapping, testing, conversion and cutover activities.
• You’ll identify and manage risks, issues and dependencies, maintaining RAID logs and driving mitigation plans.
• You’ll translate complex technical challenges into clear business impacts, recommendations and escalation paths for leadership.
• You’ll own integrated tracking across scope, schedules, milestones, resources, actions and decisions.
• You’ll facilitate project and governance forums, maintain key project artifacts and ensure actions are followed through.
