Data Conversion Project Manager (Pune)

The Role

As a Historical Data Conversion Project Manager, you will serve as the essential link between our technical Data Solution Consultants (DSCs) and the client’s business stakeholders. While DSCs focus on the technical execution of data migration and complex analysis, your role is to translate that work into a clear narrative for the client while relaying client requirements back to the internal team. You will leverage a strong understanding of HDC processes, investment data, and technical frameworks to comfortably bridge the gap between technical execution and client expectations. By working side-by-side with the DSCs to identify data remediation strategies, you will translate technical requirements into actionable directives for the client and proactively secure necessary inputs. This role is for a subject matter expert who can navigate technical language and investment complexities to drive project progress and maintain high-impact communication regarding status, gaps, and timelines.

You’ll also be among the first members of the Data Solutions team based in India, helping establish our presence in the region while working closely with colleagues across the U.S., U.K., and other global offices. This is a collaborative role offering the opportunity to shape our operating model locally and strengthen how our global teams deliver together.

• Translate Technical Progress: Translate technical progress, data challenges, and migration results provided by the Data Solutions team into digestible business narratives for client stakeholders.
• Lead Client Status Calls: Lead regular status calls with clients to convey project health, presenting successful data loads and managing expectations around timelines or data discrepancies.
