Role Overview
We are seeking an experienced Data Migration Architect to support a global consultancy delivering into a public-sector end client. The role will own the strategy, design, and assurance of large-scale clinical data migration from Legacy systems into modern EHR platforms. This is a design authority role, not a hands-on engineering position.

• Define the end-to-end data migration strategy, scope, sequencing, and success criteria
• Own migration architecture, source-to-target mappings, cleansing, validation, and exception handling
• Decide what data migrates, what is archived, and what is excluded
• Ensure alignment with integration, coexistence, and clinical safety requirements
• Govern cutover, reconciliation, rollback, and migration assurance
• Provide clear, authoritative designs and sign-off for rehearsal and live runs

Essential Experience

• Proven Data Migration Architect experience on large, complex programmes
• Strong background in clinical or regulated data migration
• Experience migrating from Legacy systems
• Knowledge of clinical coding (READ, SNOMED, dm+d) and associated risks
• Confident design authority with senior stakeholders

Desirable

• Experience with UK EHR platforms (eg TPP SystmOne, EMIS)
• Experience in clinically governed, auditable environments
• Phased or dual-running migration models

Security Clearance

• Active SC clearance is mandatory, PLEASE DO NOT APPLY IF YOU DONT HAVE ACTIVE SC
