About the Role
I'm seeking an experienced Senior Data Migration Test Lead to join a major enterprise transformation program involving the migration of critical operational data to a new platform. This is a hands-on role requiring someone who can independently lead end-to-end data migration testing, ensuring the accuracy, completeness, and integrity of migrated data throughout the testing lifecycle. This is not a traditional testing role - we're looking for someone who has owned data migration testing on large-scale transformation programs and can proactively identify, investigate, and resolve data issues with minimal guidance.

Required Experience:
Key Responsibilities
Lead the end-to-end data migration testing lifecycle across a large enterprise transformation program.
Develop and execute data validation, reconciliation, and verification strategies to ensure migration accuracy.
Analyse and investigate data discrepancies, identifying root causes across source systems, ETL processes, and target platforms.
Collaborate closely with data engineers, developers, and business stakeholders to resolve defects and validate data transformations.
Validate complex ETL processes and data warehouse migrations.
Deliver testing outcomes autonomously within fast-paced project timelines.

Skills & Experience

12+ years' experience in data migration, ETL, or data warehouse testing.
Proven experience leading end-to-end testing for large-scale enterprise data migration projects.
Strong SQL skills with the ability to perform complex data validation and reconciliation.
Hands-on experience with IBM DataStage and/or Informatica.
Experience with Oracle Data Warehouse environments.
Exposure to BigQuery and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
Knowledge of SSIS, Kafka, and modern data integration technologies is highly regarded.
Ability to work independently with minimal direction in a complex delivery environment.

Ideal Background
You'll have worked on large enterprise transformation or migration programs within industries such as financial services, banking, insurance, or superannuation. You'll be someone who has owned testing workstreams—not simply executed test cases—and is confident making decisions, investigating issues, and driving successful migration outcomes.
