Our Client is undertaking the most significant digital transformation, where a cornerstone is the delivery of consistent, accurate, and trusted data into the future SAP S/4 HANA-based ecosystem and associated technology stack.
The Data Migration Lead is responsible for defining and executing the end-to-end data migration strategy that ensures the successful transition from legacy systems to the new "New World" architecture. The role safeguards data integrity, business continuity, and compliance across all phases of migration, from object scoping to ETL cycles, validation, and cutover readiness. This is a critical leadership role ensuring that data is migrated accurately, completely, and on time to support the digital transformation pilot go-live and the multiyear European rollout.
The size of the project team is above 200 people.

- Evaluate if/what Data Migration tools are required for the F4F Program.
- Planning & Execution of Data Migration Cycles
- Build and manage detailed migration plans aligned with SIT, UAT, Cutover Rehearsals, and Pilot timelines.

- Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Partner with Enterprise Architecture, SAP CoE, E2E Architects, F4F Transition & Cutover Lead, F4F testing workstream lead, and System Integrator teams to ensure technical readiness.
- Work closely with Business Owners, SMEs, and Process Owners.

- Conduct defect triage and coordinate resolution across business and technical teams.
- Cutover Alignment & Go-Live Readiness
- Ensure data migration activities are fully integrated into the overall Transition & Cutover plan.
- Confirm data readiness gates for SIT, UAT, Cutover Rehearsals, and Go-Live (e.g., environment readiness, trial loads, mock conversions).
- Support "Day 1" data scenarios and post go-live hypercare processes.
- Risk Management
- Identify risks linked to data quality, legacy complexity, dependencies, and resource constraints.
- Drive mitigation plans (e.g., freeze windows, additional dry runs, enhanced cleansing cycles).
- Report progress, risks, and decisions to F4F LT.
