• Utilize VA-approved tools (e.g., Jira, GitHub, ServiceNow) to document migration plans, track progress, and contribute to Biweekly Status Reports on data migration status and issues.
• Perform data profiling, testing, and reconciliation post-migration, resolving discrepancies and ensuring seamless functionality for VA end-users and systems.
• Support the VIP Lean-Agile framework by aligning data migration efforts with sprint goals and delivering incremental value during Agile ceremonies (e.g., sprint planning, reviews).
• Troubleshoot and resolve data migration challenges, minimizing downtime and ensuring continuity of VA corporate services during transitions.
• Work with VA stakeholders, including the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR), to define migration requirements, validate outcomes, and deliver Veteran-centric solutions.
• Mentor team members on Maximo data migration techniques and best practices, contributing to Trilogy's staff development and technical expertise initiatives.
• Assess and mitigate risks related to data migration, ensuring adaptability to evolving VA priorities and technical standards.

• Certified Maximo Deployment Professional certification required.
• 8+ years of experience in data migration, database management, or a related role, with a focus on federal or VA IT environments.
• Proven expertise in migrating data to IBM Maximo and other enterprise systems, with hands-on experience in SQL, ETL tools (e.g., Talend, Informatica), and cloud platforms.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to ensure data accuracy, security, and performance in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
• Familiarity with VA security standards (e.g., FISMA, NIST, HIPAA) and the VIP Lean-Agile framework is highly desirable.
• Proficiency in MS Office Applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Visio, SharePoint) and VA-approved tools (e.g., Jira, GitHub, ServiceNow).
