About the Role
The Senior Data Migration & Validation Analyst plays a critical role in ensuring the integrity, reliability, and readiness of business-critical data as MWCIA transitions from legacy Spectrum, MPS, and MUSR systems into Voyageur.
This position is responsible for hands-on data validation, reconciliation, data-quality analysis, technical troubleshooting, and migration readiness support throughout the project lifecycle. You'll independently analyze complex data structures, develop advanced SQL queries, validate source-to-target mappings, investigate discrepancies, and develop repeatable reconciliation processes.
