Data Migration Project 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

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:

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

What you'll need:

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

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.
