Program Manager - Data Warehouse Cloud Migration (Insurance)

Exerizon is a fast-growing strategy and technology consulting firm founded by former senior leaders from global consulting and cloud organizations. We help current and future market leaders tackle their greatest challenges — from digital strategy and cloud transformation to data & AI platforms and application modernization. We redefined the traditional consulting model: we share risk with our clients through impact-based remuneration, and we share ownership with our people from day one.

We are looking for a Program Manager to own the end-to-end delivery of a large data warehouse migration to the cloud for an insurance client. The programme replaces a legacy enterprise data warehouse that feeds financial, actuarial and regulatory reporting with a cloud data platform — across many source systems, hundreds of reports and several workstreams, vendors and client teams. Regulatory reporting cannot miss a deadline while the migration runs. You are accountable for the whole thing: scope, plan, budget, risk, quality, vendors and the client relationship up to the steering committee.

What you will do:

• Own the programme end to end: mobilisation, discovery and assessment, migration waves, parallel run, cut-over, decommissioning and hypercare — with a plan the steering committee can trust
• Structure the programme into workstreams (platform build, data migration, ETL / ELT re-engineering, reporting and BI migration, data quality and reconciliation, governance, change and adoption) and run them through workstream leads
• Own the budget and the business case: estimates, estimate at completion, vendor and licence costs, cloud consumption, and the trade-offs you bring to the steering committee when they move
• Run programme governance: steering committees, status and risk reporting, RAID log, change control, decision log — and raise bad news early with options attached
• Protect reporting continuity: plan migration waves around financial close, Solvency II and IFRS 17 cycles and regulator deadlines; define reconciliation and sign-off criteria with Finance, Actuarial and Risk before any source is switched off
• Manage vendors and system integrators: contracts, SOWs, deliverable acceptance, performance and escalation; coordinate the client's own data, IT, security and compliance teams
• Work with the lead architect and data engineering leads on the technical approach — target platform (Databricks, Snowflake or similar on Azure or AWS), migration tooling, environment strategy — and hold the team to delivery discipline and definition of done
• Make regulatory and security requirements part of the plan from day one: GDPR, DORA, outsourcing and cloud notification requirements of the insurance regulator, data residency, audit
• Lead change and adoption: report consumers, analysts and actuaries moving to the new platform, training, decommissioning of the legacy warehouse
• Contribute to Exerizon's growth: delivery methods and estimation assets for data migrations, proposals and pre-sales
