• Participate in migration mock cycles, defect triage, issue resolution, data validation, cutover planning, go-live readiness, and hypercare support. 

• Prepare migration documentation, workshop outputs, issue logs, data readiness reports, reconciliation summaries, and executive status updates for project leadership and client stakeholders. 

Mandatory Skills and Experience

• Awareness of cross-module data dependencies and the impact of data migration decisions on business processes, reporting, reconciliation, and cutover. 

• Understanding of data migration concepts such as data profiling, data quality assessment, cleansing, deduplication, harmonization, time slicing, archiving, validation, and reconciliation. 

• Ability to engage with SAP functional consultants and client business users to translate business requirements into migration scope and data readiness actions. 

• Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, documentation, and stakeholder management skills. 

• Comfortable working in a global consulting environment with distributed teams, multiple workstreams, and client-facing responsibilities.
