Own delivery of data conversion activities across a portfolio of customer implementations, tracking KPIs for quality, productivity, and customer satisfaction

Support complex, strategic, and at-risk customer engagements, serving as an escalation point for migration challenges and solution design

What We’re Looking For

2+ years of leadership experience managing technical, consulting, implementation, or data-focused teams

Demonstrated success leading organizational change or transformation initiatives

Strong coaching, mentoring, and people development skills

Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to navigate ambiguity and make decisions in evolving environments

Experience with AI, automation, machine learning, generative AI, or digital transformation initiatives

Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience, plus 5+ years working in data conversion or analysis roles

Bonus points if you also have:

A background in data migration, data integration, implementation services, SaaS, or professional services organizations

Experience building and scaling operational processes

Familiarity with change management frameworks and evaluating emerging technologies

Experience evaluating and implementing emerging technologies

You’ll be part of our people-first culture built on trust, inclusion, and growth - where you’re supported to deliver, collaborate with teammates who care, and grow with leaders invested in your success.
