EMPLOYMENT TYPE:

Full-Time, Exempt Employee

Career Team is seeking a Manager, Data Migration & Integrations to lead the people, processes, client relationships, and technical strategy behind data conversions and system integrations.

You will manage a team responsible for moving structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data into Career Edge from legacy systems, databases, flat files, documents, and third-party platforms. You will own conversion initiatives from discovery and planning through validation, launch, and post-conversion support.

You will also serve as a primary point of accountability for clients throughout the conversion lifecycle. This includes building trusted relationships, setting expectations, presenting progress and risks to client stakeholders, and leading the response when issues require escalation.

This is a technical leadership and delivery role—not a primary coding position. You should be comfortable evaluating technical approaches, guiding engineers, interpreting data, and troubleshooting escalated issues.

• Establish clear priorities, accountability, and delivery expectations across the conversion team.
• Own multiple client conversion and integration projects from initial discovery through production launch and post-launch support.
• Serve as a trusted delivery partner and primary escalation point for client stakeholders.
• Build and maintain strong client relationships by communicating clearly, setting realistic expectations, and following through on commitments.
• Lead recurring client meetings, conversion-readiness reviews, executive updates, and technical discussions.
• Present project status, milestones, risks, decisions, and recommended actions to both technical and nontechnical stakeholders.
• Establish project scope, delivery schedules, staffing plans, dependencies, and acceptance criteria.
• Partner with clients and internal teams to understand source systems, business rules, reporting requirements, and data-quality expectations.
• Translate business requirements into clear data mappings, transformation rules, validation plans, and technical work items.
• Guide the design of ingestion and conversion solutions involving databases, APIs, JSON, XML, CSV files, documents, OCR, and other data sources.
• Review technical approaches for accuracy, scalability, security, maintainability, and alignment with platform standards.
• Coordinate conversion rehearsals, reconciliation, cutover planning, production migration, and post-launch verification.
• Identify delivery risks, data-quality concerns, scope changes, and technical dependencies early.
• Own escalation management by coordinating investigation, establishing clear ownership, communicating impact, and driving issues through resolution.
• Maintain calm, transparent communication during high
