Data Migration Project Manager - PropTech Start-Up

Data Migration Project Manager | PropTech Start-Up | To £70k

Based in London with significant UK travel during kick-off and data-mapping phases of each integration

Every company this business acquire comes with a mess of legacy data. Spreadsheets, shadow systems, inconsistent standards, and no single owner.

Right now that work is split across several people juggling it on the side. They want one person to own it end to end.

Our client is a VC-backed, AI-enabled acquirer of property services businesses, the UK's first roll-up of its kind in residential block management. First wave of acquisitions done, more in the pipeline, and data migration is the bottleneck they're hiring to fix.

This is not a coordination role.

Roughly 80% of a migration can be automated. The other 20% is hands-on: profiling messy source data, making field-mapping calls, hunting down shadow systems, validating records line by line. That 20% is the job.

What you'll actually do:

• Own each migration end to end, from kick-off through data discovery, mapping and sandbox review to go-live
• Be the single point of contact across acquired businesses, an external migration platform partner, and internal product, finance and ops teams
• Build a data-requirements playbook so nothing gets captured piecemeal
• Get institutional knowledge out of key people's heads before they exit post-completion
• Refine templates and checklists after every migration until there's one repeatable approach
• Run 2-3 migrations concurrently once you're up to speed, against a circa 60-day standard you'll be pushing to beat

Who this is:

• Technically fluent in data structures, field mapping and transformation logic, comfortable leading a data conversation without needing to be an engineer
• Likely background: data analyst, technical PM, systems/implementation specialist, or data migration/conversion specialist
• Organised across parallel workstreams, methodical under pressure
• Builds trust fast, from branch staff to founders, inside a business you've only just walked into
• Up for regular UK travel during kick-off and mapping phases

Bonus points:

• Property, block management, financial services or other data-heavy sector experience
• Time inside an acquisitive or roll-up business
• Hands-on experience with migration tooling or working alongside a platform partner

• A pivotal early hire in one of the UK's most ambitious PropTech businesses
• Direct exposure to founders and functional leaders, high autonomy from day one
