The Role
In this hands-on 6-month contract, you will own the end-to-end data migration lifecycle-from initial discovery, inventory, and data mapping to complex transformation, execution, and final reconciliation.

- Strong Azure Cloud Stack Experience:
- Azure Data Factory (ADF)
- Azure SQL DB
- Azure Data Lake / Lakehouse architectures
- Python for data manipulation & automation
- Proven experience across all migration phases: Strategy, Discovery, Cleansing, Mapping, Execution, and Post-migration Validation.
- Hands-on proficiency with Azure DevOps, Git, and modern CI/CD deployment practices.
- Deep understanding of data modeling, metadata management, and data lineage.
Desirable Experience
- Experience migrating legacy systems into Azure or Microsoft Fabric.
- Prior background in Financial Services working on Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) systems.
- Familiarity with data governance frameworks in regulated, high-compliance environments.
- Relevant Microsoft Azure or Microsoft Fabric certifications.
