Data Migration Manager

A VC-backed group building an AI-enabled roll-up in the UK property services sector is hiring a Data Migration Project Manager to own data migration across every acquisition.

This is a newly created role and the single dedicated owner of data migration across the group. Today the work is split thinly across several people who each handle a slice alongside their day job, and it's slowing integrations down. You'll own it end to end, running each migration as a disciplined project from kick-off through data mapping and sandbox review to go-live, working closely with an external migration platform partner and stakeholders inside each acquired business.

Role: Data Migration Project Manager

Salary: £60,000 - £70,000

Location: UK-based, London preferred, with significant UK travel during the kick-off and data-mapping phases of each integration

What you'll be doing:

\n
• Own each acquired business's data migration end to end, from kick-off to go-live, against a tight timeline (typically around 60 days)
\n
• Set up access, establish extraction and transformation pipelines with the external migration partner and lead the field-mapping decisions
\n
• Profile messy source data, surface the spreadsheets and shadow systems that always exist, and validate records line by line
\n
• Act as the single point of contact between the acquired business, the migration platform partner and internal product, finance, and operations teams
\n
• Build the data requirements playbook so future data needs are mapped upfront rather than collected piecemeal
\n
• Capture data and context from key staff before they leave the business post-acquisition
\n
• Refine templates, mapping standards and checklists migration by migration, driving towards one repeatable approach across the group
\n

What you'll need:

\n
• Proven project management experience running structured workstreams against tight timelines with third-party partners and multiple stakeholders
\n
• Technical enough to lead a data conversation and make sound mapping decisions, comfortable with data structures, field mapping, transformation logic and source systems
\n
• Strong analytical mindset with the ability to profile, validate and clean data hands-on rather than handing it off
\n
• Highly organised across parallel workstreams without losing detail, with the capability to run two or three migrations concurrently at scale
\n
• Strong communicator across all levels, from branch staff to founders, able to build trust quickly inside a business you've only just walked into
\n
• Comfortable with the unglamorous manual work that can't be automated
\n
• Resilient and willing to be on the road during intensive kick-off and mapping phases
\n

This role would suit a hands-on project manager who wants real ownership of how the migration engine gets built across a fast-growing, acquisitive group.
