About The Role

Centerbase is seeking a Manager Data Migration to lead our Data Migration team—the group responsible for the safe movement, transformation, and integration of customer data during onboarding and across the full customer lifecycle.

The Manager, Data Migration owns the execution and quality of all customer data work, from initial migrations through ongoing data projects, remediation, and post-go-live support. This includes SQL-based data transformation, ETL processes, custom data workflows, and remediation of legacy data issues—all within a maturing platform actively modernizing its database and infrastructure.

This is a hands-on management role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, leads by example, and is motivated by building scalable, repeatable operations. You will manage a team of data migration specialists, partner closely with cross-functional teams, and serve as the internal authority on data migration standards and best practices.

Responsibilities

• Lead, coach, and develop a team of data migration specialists, including onboarding and training new hires and formalizing quality control processes and team standards.
• Oversee all customer data migration work during onboarding and throughout the customer lifecycle, ensuring projects are scoped accurately, executed with strong data integrity, and delivered on time and within budget with minimal post–go-live rework.
• Proactively identify and mitigate project risks before they escalate, and conduct post-implementation reviews to evaluate success and drive continuous improvement.
• Develop and maintain standardized policies, procedures, and documentation to drive consistent, repeatable delivery; contribute to the roadmap for migration tooling improvements in partnership with Product and Engineering.
• Define and monitor team metrics, using data to identify areas for improvement and recognize achieved goals.
• Partner closely with Customer Success, Project Management, and Sales to accurately scope customer requirements, set clear expectations, and communicate project progress.
• Serve as the escalation point for complex or high-risk data scenarios, applying SQL expertise and strong problem-solving skills to drive resolution.
• Identify opportunities to improve onboarding efficiency, data mapping, and validation workflows—including responsible use of automation and AI-assisted tooling.
• Support post-go-live customer data needs, including firm mergers/splits, module adoption, remediation, and third-party system integrations.

Requirements

• Proven ability to manage multiple concurrent projects, prioritize effectively, and deliver on time
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills; ability to explain technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders
