About the role

Data Migration Lead (Geospatial) – 12-month contract

Why you would like it

• Own the migration approach end-to-end on a sizeable replatforming programme 
• Strong GIS/geospatial component (ESRI experience will go a long way) 
• Plenty of stakeholder engagement and practical delivery — not just documentation

Deliverables/Purpose

This contract sits within a broader technology transformation, with a focus on establishing shared geospatial data foundations and moving to a modern, component-based architecture.
You’ll lead the data migration workstream for geospatial replatforming: shaping the migration strategy, guiding technical delivery, and making sure the migration lands cleanly (quality, reconciliation, security, performance, and cutover).

Key deliverables will typically include:

• Migration strategy and execution plan (scope, approach, tooling, sequencing, cutover) 
• Data mapping, profiling, cleansing and reconciliation approach (and making it stick) 
• Oversight of ETL / integration build and migration testing (including defect triage) 
• Clear reporting on progress, risks, dependencies, and decisions required 
• Strong collaboration across delivery, data, architecture, and GIS-aligned teams

Contract details

• 12-month contract 
• Full-time (details to confirm) 
• Working in an Agile/SAFe delivery environment 
• Reporting into a Delivery Lead (geospatial replatforming)

The skills and experience we need you to bring

• Proven experience leading complex data migrations (strategy through to cutover/hypercare) 
• 7–10 years’ experience across data migration / information analysis, including prior hands-on migration delivery 
• Strong SQL and practical ETL/data integration capability 
• Experience designing or delivering enterprise-scale geospatial data initiatives 
• GIS experience (ESRI tooling ideal: ArcGIS, ArcGIS Online/AGOL, related ecosystem tools) 
• Familiarity with modern data platforms (cloud data warehouse/lake concepts), governance and data quality controls 
• Confident stakeholder management — able to translate messy requirements into a workable plan and keep people aligned

• Welcome Packs 
• Hnry discount 
• Exclusive Invites 
• Optional Pay-As-You-Go PI/PL Insurance
