• End-to-end ownership of assigned branch conversions, including discovery, data review, conversion development, validation support, issue resolution, and go‑live readiness. This person should be able to manage their assigned conversions without needing every next step assigned to them.
• Ability to lead data discovery with branch teams, including asking what systems they use, what data needs to be converted, where the data lives, what processes may be unique to the branch, and what risks or gaps may exist before extraction begins.
• Ability to coordinate with the data extraction team and branch contacts to ensure the correct data is received, the extracts are complete, and any missing tables, fields, or files are identified and followed up on quickly.
• Strong SQL skills, especially joins, temp tables, CASE logic, data cleanup, de‑duplication, mapping logic, source‑to‑target transformations, and converting messy legacy data into the required ERP import format.
• Strong Excel skills, including lookups, pivots, formulas, validation files, issue tracking, branch review files, reconciliation support, and creative cleanup worksheets when SQL alone is not the best solution.
• Experience working with ERP data conversions, data migration, system implementations, or messy business data, preferably where the candidate had to interpret source data and decide how it should fit into a new system.
• Ability to understand and work with business data across multiple areas, including customers, locations/sites, equipment/assets, recurring billing, contracts, open AR, jobs, items, vendors, pricing, contacts, and legacy system IDs.
• Ability to identify data gaps, quality issues, and conversion risks, such as missing fields, duplicate records, inconsistent customer/location relationships, incomplete billing data, bad formatting, or data that does not clearly fit the new ERP structure.
• Strong problem‑solving and decision‑making ability. The candidate should be comfortable making reasonable conversion decisions, documenting assumptions, proposing practical solutions, and escalating only when a decision truly requires leadership or business approval.
• Strong communication skills with both technical and non‑technical users. This person needs to ask branch users clear questions, explain data issues in understandable terms, collect validation feedback, and help determine whether an issue is a true conversion defect, source data issue, or operational decision.
• Ability to work through branch validation feedback independently, including reviewing reported issues, tracing them back to the source data or conversion logic, creating SQL or Excel solutions, and clearly communicating what was corrected or why something should remain as‑is.
• Strong organization and workload management,…
