Description

Position Overview

Click Global Talent is partnering with a leading financial institution to find a dedicated Senior Project Manager — EDW & Data Migration. This critical full-time, remote role involves leading a complex, multi-year program focused on enterprise data warehouse migration, data governance, and data quality. You will be responsible for overseeing the integrated delivery plan across multiple workstreams, managing multi-vendor partnerships, and ensuring compliance with stringent regulatory reporting requirements for Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) and PIDM.

Key Responsibilities

Programme Planning & Delivery: Own the integrated delivery plan, critical path, and baselines across all four workstreams; manage scope, schedule, cost, and quality to the agreed roadmap and stage gates. Drive day-to-day execution: sprint/stage planning, resource allocation, dependency management, and progress tracking against plan. Re-baseline the plan after the analysis stage and manage variance with full traceability.
EDW Migration Delivery: Lead the migration from the legacy warehouse to the target MPP platform, including ETL-to-ELT re-engineering and the layered target model. Sequence source-system onboarding, build, SIT, UAT, performance testing, DR testing, parallel run, and cutover across releases. Own reconciliation and functional-equivalence sign-off as the gate to go-live.
Golden CIF / Single Customer View Migration: Plan and deliver the Golden CIF workstream: customer/party ingestion, matching and deduplication, mastering rules, survivorship, and golden-record publication to downstream consumers. Coordinate business validation of matched and merged records, and manage cutover of customer data with zero tolerance for identity errors.
Data Governance: Deliver the governance scope: business glossary, data dictionary, data ownership/stewardship, classification, lineage, and metadata, aligned to the organisation's governance framework and regulatory obligations. Chair or support the data governance forum; ensure governance decisions are logged, actioned, and reflected in delivery.
Data Quality: Own the data-quality workstream: profiling, DQ rule definition, measurement against DQ KPIs, issue logging, and remediation tracking. Ensure DQ gates are embedded in each release and that remediation is closed before sign-off.
Vendor & Partner Management: Manage delivery across platform (Huawei), data (Sunline/Tetmon), and infrastructure (NTT) partners; hold them to statements of work, SLAs, and back-to-back commitments. Coordinate interlocking plans and resolve cross-vendor dependencies and contention.
Risk, Issue & Change Control: Maintain the RAID log; drive mitigation and escalation; run formal change control so scope, cost, and schedule impacts are assessed and approved. Protect the closed-scope baseline and manage scope-creep against the signed inventory and tolerances.
Stakeholder & Governance Reporting: Produce status reports, steering-committee packs, and dashboards; chair working-level and steering governance. Act as the primary interface between the organisation's programme office, business, architecture, engineering, and management.
Financial & Commercial Control: Track programme budget, effort, invoicing milestones, and margin; forecast and report variances; support commercial and change negotiations with the supported business and subcontractors.

Key Deliverables

Integrated programme plan, critical path, and re-baselined schedule across all four workstreams.
Governance cadence: status reports, steering-committee packs, dashboards, and decision logs.
RAID log (risks, assumptions, issues, dependencies) and change-request register with impact assessments.
EDW migration cutover and reconciliation / functional-equivalence sign-offs.
Golden CIF migration and validation sign-off.
Data governance deliverables sign-off (glossary, lineage, ownership) and data-quality KPI / remediation closure.
Budget, effort, and invoicing-milestone tracking with variance forecasts.
Go-live, hypercare, and transition-to-support plan.
