This is not a data analyst or data engineer role. No hands-on scripting or pipeline development expected.
Program Manager who understands data integration, migration, manipulation, and data management processes well enough to lead requirements and dependency conversations between business and technical teams.
Operates in a heterogeneous environment with no single “destination” platform; success requires comfort with ambiguity and creating structure from scratch.
Must-Have Qualifications
Senior Program Manager / Delivery Lead experience
Experience leading large-scale data migration or data integration programs (as an owner/driver, not as a coder)
Strong understanding of ETL/ELT concepts, data dependencies, data validation/reconciliation, and cutover planning for analytics/reporting
Familiarity with common data and analytics platforms/tools (e.g., Snowflake, Tableau, Power BI, Oracle, SQL databases)
Experience working with business systems data (e.g., Salesforce, Workday, HR/payroll, ERP) and understanding cross-system data flows
Ability to reduce ambiguity: define plans, roles, artifacts, and operating cadence when standards/processes are not established
Executive presence and professional communication in high-visibility meetings; can lead discussions with business and engineering stakeholders and drive decisions
Nice to have:
Prior M&A / acquisition integration exposure (not required)
Experience evaluating tooling options and discussing licensing models and tradeoffs at a practical level
Time zone alignment with CST / MST stakeholders
Not a fit:
Data engineers, BI developers, or analysts whose primary job is building pipelines, writing scripts, or dashboard development
PMO-only roles that track tasks without domain ownership of data integration outcomes
Governance-only or reporting-only roles without migration/integration accountability Originally posted on Himalayas
