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 alongside the client, Strada's Program and Project Management, Enterprise Architects and Engineers, and the Payroll Lead. The DM team consists of different levels: a central DM Senior Lead (the “Workstream Lead”) is accountable for big programs, global strategy, and planning; the DM Lead is responsible for execution; the DM Support assists with volume; and a Data Scientist provides additional services where required. DM Support is an entry‑level role supporting DM Leads on a project. Collaboration with the client at all stages is essential to effectively close the DM activities successfully, meeting the KPIs and the quality threshold agreed. The DM Lead role is expected to have 1–2 years of experience as DM Support or a similar practice. A DM Lead ensures that all contractual deliverables are designed and supplied appropriately for a country, working consistently; they also report to the Workstream Lead on progress. The DM Lead is in touch with and collaborates with the client team throughout the Data Migration stages and monitors DM Support to close all activities effectively and successfully. The DM Lead is more client‑facing, expected to deliver the most suitable solution for each country, and should provide necessary guidance. The DM Support assists the DM Lead, checks on optimal system performance, and performs system monitoring. After 1–2 years as DM Lead, small and medium‑sized programs should be taken over to advance to the next level. DM Lead - Responsibilities Ensure compliance to Strada's Payroll operational standards and allocated project implementation methodology. Execute several Data Migration stages (ETL/V) as required for testing and for deployment. Elaborate local DM activities and adjust the Data Migration Strategy where applicable; update activities in the Local DM Plan document, respect timelines, be proactive, and report to the DM Lead and the Workstream Lead of the program. Assist the Workstream Lead with country implementation, support the Project Manager/Program Manager, follow the planning, report, and raise issues proactively, escalating where required. Share experience and suggest improvements on data modelling, templates, ensure delivery, and provide information to the client on data requirements (e.g., history legally needed to run payroll). Lead and conduct DM Kick‑off and Q&A sessions with the customer, communicating DM requirements with all relevant parties. Request Data Quality Assessment from the Data Scientist team, support and liaise with the client for data cleansing. Support test activities if required, perform the data load cycles, or instruct DM Support. Ensure data issues are resolved and maintained in the RAID log; be proactive to guarantee the DM cycle is completed successfully within time and budget. Manage data reconciliation and validation stage or instruct DM Support.
