Founded in 2018, LDMS is part of the LC Financial Holdings group, a four-pillar organization that has over 2,000 employees across Europe. Together, we have an impressive track record of providing world-class credit expertise that spans over 20 years.

We are a Fintech company focused on digital lending software, a market growing around 18% per year and set to be worth $27 billion by 2028. Given our expertise within the company and across the group, we aim to be the leader in the space, and in order to do that, we need a team of people who can not just write quality code but can think, create, and challenge others to come up with the best solutions for our customers.

The Role:

As a Data Migration Specialist, you will be responsible for managing and executing data migration tasks for large-scale projects. You will review and analyze complex data sets and work closely with Data Engineers and ETL teams to ensure smooth and accurate data transfers. Your expertise will be critical in ensuring the successful migration of live-performing loans, contributing to the successful integration of new data into our products.

You’ll work closely with our Group Consultants and Directors to design, document, and implement data migration solutions that meet the needs of our clients. Your experience in data migration projects and your ability to effectively liaise with stakeholders and executive management will be crucial in driving success. A solid understanding of the financial services industry, along with expertise in the financial modeling of Consumer and Commercial loans, is essential. Additionally, your knowledge of regulatory requirements across EMEA countries will significantly enhance your effectiveness in this role. As a key member of the team, you will confidently lead client meetings, leveraging your passion for data and your problem-solving skills to tackle complex financial challenges, even when faced with incomplete information.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Undertake analysis of client data to gain a deep understanding of its meaning.
2. Confidently collaborate with stakeholders at all levels to understand data requirements and deliver solutions.
3. Design and document detailed plans for the transformation and loading of financial data from external to internal systems.
4. Facilitate financial data reconciliation activities.
5. Document and validate with stakeholders any issues or gaps within data or business requirements.
6. Work closely with our Data Engineering and other cross-functional teams to ensure that data migrations align with new system requirements.

Minimum Requirements:

1. 3+ years of experience in data migration projects.
2. Strong understanding of financial modeling and business practices.
3. Expertise in defining and documenting data migration proposals.
4. The ability to decipher complex technical information and translate it into a format understandable by people at all levels.
5. Proven ability to assess and understand complex data models.
6. Excellent communication skills and the ability to present to stakeholders at all levels.

What’s Important to Us?

It’s safe to say our passion is tech, but we recognize that it’s the people that we hire and bring together who are at the heart of the organization.

However, what we do have in common are our values:

• Teamwork
• Merit
• Develop
• Honest
• Impactful
• Integrity

This may just look like corporate jargon, but they mean something to us, and if you can relate to the above, get in touch as there’s a good chance that you’d be a great addition to the team.
