Overview
We are seeking a highly capable Data Conversion Lead to manage and coordinate all data migration activities as we transition from SAP to Oracle Cloud. This role is primarily project-management-driven, responsible for orchestrating dozens of individual conversion objects across multiple business areas. The Data Conversion Lead will partner closely with Customer functional leads, product owners, and the implementation partner to ensure each conversion is planned, executed, validated, and delivered on schedule.
This position replaces an existing resource and requires someone who can immediately bring structure, discipline, and strong communication to a complex, multi-threaded workstream. Once conversion cycles are complete, this role will transition into cutover leadership, coordinating the end-to-end cutover plan.
Key Responsibilities

Track progress, dependencies, risks, and issues across dozens of conversion objects.
Facilitate cross-functional working sessions to resolve mapping questions, data quality issues, and validation gaps.
Oversee extraction, cleansing, transformation, and load activities performed by technical teams and the implementation partner.
Drive reconciliation and validation efforts with business SMEs to ensure data accuracy and completeness.
Maintain detailed conversion plans, dashboards, and status reporting for program leadership.
Lead cutover planning and execution, including load sequencing, checkpoints, and go/no-go readiness.
Communicate clearly and consistently with business stakeholders, technical teams, and leadership.
Required Skills & Experience
Ideally this candidate has strong experience managing conversions in either SAP or Oracle.
Demonstrated success managing complex, multi-object conversion portfolios.
Exceptional communication skills with the ability to influence and drive accountability.
Strong project management discipline: planning, RAID management, dependency tracking, and stakeholder coordination.
Experience working with system integrators and cross-functional business teams.
Ability to quickly stabilize a challenged workstream and implement structure.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience migrating from SAP ECC or S/4HANA to Oracle Cloud.
Familiarity with data governance, data quality frameworks, and reconciliation processes.
Prior experience leading cutover for a large ERP implementation.
