SAP Data Migration Functional Lead

Kellton Tech

Job Description & Details

This role puts you right in the middle of a complex enterprise migration where data integrity can make or break the entire project. If you enjoy untangling messy legacy data structures and getting disparate stakeholders to actually agree on data mapping, this is a solid gig.

What You'll Actually Be Doing

You will spend your days bridging the gap between business requirements and technical execution, leading the end-to-end data migration lifecycle. Your real job is to anticipate where data objects will fail, manage dependencies across various modules, and keep the migration timeline from slipping while dealing with shifting stakeholder expectations.

The Core Tech Stack

You need deep hands-on experience with SAP data objects, cross-functional integration, and the underlying dependencies that cause load errors. Knowing how to map legacy systems to S/4HANA or ECC equivalents while managing data quality rules is non-negotiable here.

Interview Expectations

Expect them to throw a real-world scenario at you where a critical data object fails validation right before go-live, testing how you triage dependencies and communicate the risk to non-technical leadership. The hiring manager is secretly looking for someone who doesn't panic, can own the data strategy autonomously, and knows how to push back on unrealistic business demands without burning bridges.

Application Advice

Skip the generic resume fluff and highlight specific enterprise migrations you've personally led from scoping to final cutover. Make sure keywords like data objects, cross-functional leadership, data dependencies, and stakeholder management are front and center to clear the initial ATS filters.
