• Ensure successful delivery across all key phases of the migration life cycle:
• Discovery – Analyse current and target state data environments.
• Design – Define the migration strategy, approach, and technical specs.
• Mapping – Support the process of identifying and validating source-to-target data mappings.
• Rehearsals – Lead the planning and support the execution of dress rehearsals.

• Strong understanding of data migration tools, methodologies, and best practices.
• Extensive experience of migration of applications, systems, processes, and data in banks and/or building societies is essential.
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills with proven ability to coordinate technical delivery teams and cross-functional contributors, including the ability to effectively engage with non-technical audiences.
