• Coordinate across the Data Office Pillars (Data Product Management & Architecture, Data Analytics, Information Governance and Data Governance) to ensure that all Data impacts are considered and managed in the programmes so that the data can be relied on post CTB into RTB.
• An agreed Data Migration approach for data migrations across a range of programme and project deliveries.
• Management of dependencies with regards to data quality, both before migrations and afterwards.
• Collaboration with IT to detail and build the scripts/ tools required to deliver migrations. This includes any monitoring and quality assurance scripts to provide confidence migrations will be successful.
• Deliver new migration tools and their use to improve efficiency and effectiveness of our data migrations.
