What You’ll Do

We are seeking a versatile Project Manager / Business Analyst (PM/BA) to serve as the strategic lead for the Data Migration and Data Integration workstreams of a major enterprise application implementation. In this dual-capacity role, you will be the "bridge" between functional business stakeholders and technical execution teams. You will lead the end-to-end requirements elicitation process while simultaneously driving the project schedule, risk mitigation, and delivery of the data migration phase. 

While you don't need to write code, you must possess a deep conceptual understanding of the data lifecycle - from extraction and transformation to loading and validation.

1. Requirements Elicitation & Business Analysis

• Lead Stakeholder Sessions: Facilitate workshops with agency subject matter experts (SMEs) to identify source systems, data ownership, and "to-be" state requirements.
• Define Data Mapping: Document complex data mapping requirements, including source-to-target logic, data transformation rules, and business-critical validations.
• Gap Analysis: Identify discrepancies between legacy data structures and the new application’s architecture, proposing functional workarounds or data cleanup strategies.
• Quality & Integrity Standards: Define "Definition of Done" for data quality, ensuring requirements include clear acceptance criteria for data accuracy and completeness.

2. Project Management & Implementation Leadership

• Drive the Migration Lifecycle: Own the project plan for the data migration phase, tracking milestones from initial discovery through final cutover.
• Risk & Issue Management: Proactively identify data-specific risks (e.g., poor source data quality, security/privacy constraints) and develop mitigation plans.
• Resource Coordination: Act as the primary point of contact for technical teams, ensuring they have the functional clarity needed to build ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) pipelines.
• Cutover Planning: Lead the development of the "Go-Live" runbook for data migration, coordinating timing and dependencies to minimize agency downtime.

Unique Challenges You’ll Navigate

• Legacy Complexity: Navigating dated systems with limited documentation.
• Data Governance: Ensuring compliance with state and federal data privacy regulations.
• Validation Logic: Moving beyond "it looks right" to structured, repeatable data reconciliation processes.

Requirements

What You Bring 

• Proven Track Record: At least 5–7 years of experience in PM or BA roles, with a demonstrable focus on Data Migration or Data Integration projects.
• Methodology Mastery: Deep understanding of various migration approaches (e.g., Big Bang vs. Phased) and integration patterns (e.g., Real-time vs. Batch).
• Facilitation Skills: Expert-level ability to lead diverse groups through complex decision-making processes.
• Communication: Ability to translate technical data challenges into plain language for executive leadership.

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with government procurement, security standards, or agency-specific data hurdles.
• Experience with Data Profiling tools or concepts.
• Familiarity with Master Data Management (MDM) principles.
• Knowledge of UAT (User Acceptance Testing) design specifically for data sets.
