Our mission is to create environments that thrive for our customers; we enable this by providing transformation, process optimisation, and automation services, all with the aim of enabling our customers to harness human autonomy.

The role:
We are seeking a highly skilled Data Migration Analyst to join our large-scale platform migration programme within the UK Defence & Security sector.
This critical role will focus on enabling a smooth transition from legacy systems to a new, enterprise-wide user platform.
The successful candidate will bring a blend of strong technical data migration capabilities and business analysis expertise to help ensure a successful and well-governed migration process.
Key responsibilities:
• Analyse, transform, and map structured and unstructured data from legacy systems for ingestion into the new ERP platform.
• Define and execute data cleansing, enrichment, and transformation strategies to ensure data quality.
• Identify and document data sources and data dependencies across business areas.
• Work closely with business stakeholders to understand current (“as-is”) processes and design future-state (“to-be”) processes aligned with the new solution.
• Elicit data migration requirements and prioritise datasets based on business needs and system readiness.
• Support impact analysis for data changes and migration timelines.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including business users, technical architects, and programme leads to align data migration activities with programme milestones.
• Facilitate workshops and discovery sessions to gather requirements and validate data migration logic.
• Design and implement strategies to package data for staged migration, including reconciliation, validation, and post-load checks.
• Contribute to data governance practices to ensure compliance and traceability throughout the migration process
Who you are:
• Proven experience in large-scale data migration projects, ideally involving ERP systems (e.g. SAP, Oracle, MS Dynamics) or other large-scale platforms.
• Strong data analysis skills, including working with structured and unstructured datasets.
• Proficient in tools such as SQL, Excel, and data transformation platforms (e.g., Alteryx, Informatica, or similar).
• Demonstrated ability to perform business analysis, including requirements gathering and process mapping (BPMN/UML experience desirable).
• Experience engaging with business users to understand data usage, business rules, and migration priorities.
• Strong understanding of data governance, data quality, and data lifecycle management.
• Excellent communication and documentation skills.
Desirable:
• Familiarity with ERP systems and associated business domains (finance, HR, logistics, procurement).
• Experience working in the defence & security sector or similarly regulated industries.
• Understanding of security and compliance considerations for data handling in government or defence environments.
Your Pace team:
Harnessing Human Autonomy is putting the needs of humans above all in process and system design.
We are a consultancy that helps organisations become aware of the human needs and behaviours within their operations, so that systems and processes can be designed and implemented to match. We automate the basics and empower the human to achieve more in the beckoning age of AI and automation. The results are a more engaged, agile and motivated workforce capable of greater efficiency and innovation.
Imagine If... you worked for a business that has integrity at its core, one that truly cares about its People, Corporate Social Responsibility and delivering real value to its customers.
At Pace, we recognise that we are only as good as our people. Apply today to find out about the great things we’re achieving together and the fun we have as a team.
