Role purpose: Lead complex migration programmes with a strong focus on Atlassian migrations (Jira/Confluence and related ecosystem), while also bringing broader enterprise migration experience (e. g., cloud, data/platform, application, tooling).
You’ll plan and deliver end-to-end migrations, ensuring robust ETL understanding where data movement/transformation is required and ensuring full end-to-end traceability from requirements through delivery, cutover, and post-migration assurance.
Key responsibilities: Programme / project delivery Own the migration delivery plan end-to-end: discovery, design, build, test, cutover, hypercare, and transition to BAU.
Drive scope, schedule, RAID, financials, governance, and stakeholder management across multiple teams and vendors.
Build and maintain integrated plans (workstreams, dependencies, critical path), ensuring delivery at pace without compromising control.
Establish and run delivery ceremonies: steering committees, workstream reviews, cutover rehearsals, go/no-go forums, and lessons learned.
Atlassian migration leadership Lead Atlassian migrations across deployment models (e. g., Server/Data Center to Cloud, Cloud-to-Cloud consolidation, instance rationalisation).
Manage migration requirements for: Projects/spaces, workflows, permissions, custom fields, apps/add-ons, schemas, and automation.
Identity/access integration (SSO, SCIM where relevant), user provisioning, and governance.
Ensure Atlassian-specific data quality, mapping, and configuration parity (or improved target-state design).
Bring experience from other migration contexts (e. g., application modernisation, cloud adoption, platform/tooling consolidation, data migrations) and apply proven patterns and controls.
ETL and data migration controls Partner with data/engineering teams to plan and govern ETL activities (extract, transform, load), including: Data profiling, mapping, cleansing rules, transformation logic, and reconciliation.
Migration tooling, runbooks, job scheduling, and rollback/restore strategies.
Define and track migration success metrics: completeness, accuracy, timeliness, and performance.
End-to-end traceability and assurance Implement and maintain end-to-end traceability across the delivery lifecycle: Business requirements → epics/stories → build/config → test cases → defect resolution → release/cutover evidence.
Establish audit-ready artefacts: decision logs, change approvals, test evidence, reconciliations, cutover outcomes, and post-migration sign-off.
Ensure strong change control and configuration management, especially where multiple systems and data sets are migrating in parallel.
Risk, compliance, and operational readiness Identify and manage migration risks (data loss, downtime, security/access, integration breaks, performance degradation).
Coordinate non-functional requirements: security, resilience, performance, DR, logging/monitoring, and support readiness.
Plan operational handover: support model, knowledge transfer, training, runbooks, and hypercare exit criteria.
