DM Lead – The Role

Data Migration (DM) executes all related activities to implement payroll services for several countries and plays an important role in our projects. All steps are defined in the Global Data Migration Strategy, which is adjusted to client and project requirements, together with the client, Strada’s Program and Project Management, Enterprise Architects and Engineers, and the Payroll Lead.

The DM Lead is responsible for the execution, the DM Support assists with big volumes, and where required a Data Scientist provides additional services.

DM Support is an entry-level position, supporting DM Leads on a project. Collaboration is required with the client during all stages to effectively close the DM activities successfully, meeting the KPIs and the quality threshold agreed.
