Data Migration Analyst

Location: UK-based, London preferred. Significant UK travel during the kick-off and data-mapping phases of each integration.

Type: Full-time

Salary: £35–45k basic

Reporting to: Head of Data

The Role

This is the single, dedicated owner of data migration across our acquisitions – the role our integrations to date have been missing. Today this work is spread thinly across several people, each handling a slice alongside their day job, and it slows everything down. We’re hiring one person to own it end to end. You’ll run each migration as a disciplined project – kick-off, data discovery, mapping, sandbox review, go-live – on a tight timeline (our migration partner works to a roughly 90-day standard), keeping the gap between data cut-off and go-live as small as possible. But this is not a pure coordination role. Around 80% of a migration can be automated; the remaining 20% is hands-on, unglamorous data work, and you’ll be the person doing it: profiling messy source data, chasing down the spreadsheets and shadow systems that always surface, making the field-mapping calls, and validating records line by line. You’ll be the single point of contact between the acquired business, our external migration platform partner, and our internal product, finance and operations teams. You don't need to be a software engineer, or to have done all of this before. You do need to be technical enough to grow into leading a data conversation and making sound mapping decisions – and you'll be trained and supported in that by our Head of Data. Working closely with our Head of Data, you'll help build how the migration engine works across the group – and grow into owning more of it as you develop. This is a role to learn in. You'll have a very experienced data lead to learn from and real support behind you, so we care more about aptitude and attitude than a long CV.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Own data migrations end to end: Run each acquired business’s migration from kick-off to go-live against a clear plan and timeline. Set up access, establish the extraction and transformation pipeline with our partner, make the data-mapping decisions and manage a clean cut-over with minimal downtime.
• Be the single point of contact: Coordinate the acquired business’s staff, our migration platform partner, and our internal finance, operations and product teams. End the current pattern where migration is split across many part-time owners and no one holds the whole picture.
• Build the data-requirements playbook: Move us from collecting data piecemeal as features ship to defining comprehensive requirements upfront. Map future data needs before extraction, locate the source for each, and flag what has to be created from scratch.
• Capture knowledge before it leaves: Get the data and the context out of key people while they’re still in the business. Migration risk rises sharply once knowledgeable staff move on after completion.
• Make every migration cleaner than the last: Refine templates, mapping standards, timelines and checklists based on what actually happens on the ground. Drive towards one consistent, repeatable migration approach across our acquired businesses and the wider pipeline, reducing rework and ongoing data-refresh costs as we scale.

What We’re Looking For

• Technical aptitude and a genuine interest in data — comfortable with spreadsheets and source systems, and keen to develop into leading data conversations and making mapping decisions. Profiles that fit well include junior data analyst, a graduate with a strong analytical/data bent, implementation or onboarding coordinator, or someone from a data-heavy operations role.
• Organised across parallel workstreams without dropping detail. You’re structured, analytical and methodical; in time, you'll build up to running two to three migrations concurrently.
• Strong with people at every level, from branch staff doing the day-to-day to founders. You build trust quickly inside a business you’ve only just walked into, and you get its people to tell you what’s really going on with their data.
• Comfortable with the unglamorous work. The 20% that can’t be automated is where this role earns its keep.
• Resilient and happy on the road during the intensive kick-off and mapping phases of each integration.
• Sector and model experience is a plus: property, block management, financial services or other data-heavy services; experience inside an acquisitive / roll-up operating model is highly valued; experience with data migration tooling or alongside a migration platform partner is a strong plus…none of it is required.

What You’ll Get

A pivotal role building the data-migration engine of one of the UK’s most ambitious AI-enabled roll-ups. High autonomy, real ownership, and direct exposure to the founders and functional leaders. £35–45k basic. Extensive UK travel with all expenses covered, London base. A team and a company where doing the work is what gets rewarded.

Levels is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome applications from all qualified candidates regardless of background, and we're committed to building a diverse and inclusive team.
