About the Role

Project Elevate is a multi-year transformation programme to implement Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain Management as the organisation’s core ERP platform. This role will support the preparation, cleansing, validation, reconciliation and migration of business-critical data into the new platform, ensuring accurate and complete data throughout the programme lifecycle.

Responsibilities

Support the end-to-end preparation, cleansing, validation, reconciliation and migration of business-critical data required for Project Elevate.
Support the identification, extraction, profiling and assessment of data held within legacy systems, spreadsheets and business-managed data sources.
Work with business subject matter experts to understand current data structures, business rules, data ownership, data quality issues and known operational dependencies.
Cleanse, enrich, standardise and rationalise data for migration into the new Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations, Yavica FlexProperty and ExFlow environment.
Identify and help resolve duplicate, incomplete, obsolete, inconsistent or inaccurate records, documenting decisions and remediation actions.
Contribute to the development of sustainable data governance practices.
Assist in defining and documenting source-to-target mappings, transformation rules, migration logic, data dictionaries and supporting migration procedures.
Prepare and maintain migration templates, load files and supporting working papers.
Support data migration activities across development, test, training, System Integration Testing, User Acceptance Testing, dress rehearsal and production environments.
Use appropriate migration and integration tools, including D365 Data Management Framework, KingswaySoft, SQL-based routines, Excel, Power Query or other agreed tools.
Support the planning and execution of migration cycles, tracking and escalating inputs, dependencies, assumptions, risks and defects.
Support the migration of property and asset data, including estate, building, unit, lease, tenancy and related property management structures.
Support the preparation and validation of customer, tenant, occupier, supplier, contractor and stakeholder records.
Support the migration of finance-related data, including opening balances, transactional history, account structures, dimensions, bank details and reference data.
Assist with project accounting, procurement, service charge, facilities management and operational datasets.
Ensure migrated data supports end-to-end business processes, not just replicating legacy system structures.
Perform validation and reconciliation activity between source systems, migration files and target systems.
Investigate migration exceptions, failed loads, reconciliation differences and data-related defects.
Produce reconciliation outputs, exception reports, data quality summaries and evidence packs.
Help distinguish between data quality issues, configuration issues, process design issues and migration tooling issues.
Maintain clear audit trails of data preparation, migration decisions, cleansing actions, reconciliations and approvals.
Prepare representative, accurate and reconciled datasets for SIT, UAT, training, migration rehearsals and cutover planning.
Support business testers by investigating data-related queries and resolving issues.
Contribute to migration rehearsal planning, including readiness checks, load sequencing, dependency tracking, defect management and lessons learned.
Support cutover activities by preparing final migration inputs, monitoring progress, resolving data issues and supporting post-load validation.
Assist with early-life support following go-live, investigating data-related queries and transferring knowledge.
Engage with stakeholders across various business areas to gather data requirements and resolve data issues.
Work collaboratively with programme partners to support migration planning, technical analysis, issue resolution and delivery assurance.
Prepare clear documentation, working papers, trackers and status updates.
Contribute to workshops, working groups, governance meetings and data readiness reviews.
Promote a culture of data accuracy, accountability and continuous improvement.
