Data Project Manager (CCWIS Data Migration) -- 100% Remote -- W2 Profiles Only

Key responsibilities

• Build and run the data migration plan: scope by module, conversion strategy, mock-conversion cycles, cutover rehearsals and go/no-go criteria.
• Lead the coexistence ("data bridge") approach while legacy and new systems run in parallel: which system owns each record, sync direction and frequency, conflict rules and fallback.
• Run the daily and weekly cadence for the data team: work plans, status, RAID log, dependencies and escalations.
• Coordinate DFPS program staff, IT, the CCWIS implementation vendor, the legacy support team and QA/IV&V.
• Set data quality targets and sign-off gates for each conversion cycle; track defects and reconciliation results to closure.
• Keep migrated data compliant with federal CCWIS rules (45 CFR 1355.50–1355.59), including the data quality plan and AFCARS, NCANDS and NYTD reporting.
• Make sure confidential data (child, family, provider, CPS history) is handled under state and federal security and privacy rules in every environment.
• Prepare executive status reports and cutover readiness briefings for DFPS leadership.

Required qualifications

• 8+ years of IT project management, with 5+ years leading data migration or data conversion projects.
• At least one full CCWIS or SACWIS implementation or modernization where you led or co-led the data workstream. Or: equivalent experience on a large state health and human services system (DHS, SNAP, TANF, Medicaid, integrated eligibility).
• Hands-on experience running a data bridge: legacy and new systems live at the same time, with data synchronized between them (one-way or two-way) until final cutover.
• Planned and led multiple mock conversions and at least one production cutover.
• Working knowledge of data mapping, profiling, reconciliation and data quality metrics, enough to challenge the technical team.
• Experience with state government procurement, oversight and reporting (QA/IV&V, federal partners such as ACF or USDA FNS).
• Excellent written and verbal communication with executives and program staff.

Preferred qualifications

• PMP, PgMP or equivalent certification; Agile/SAFe experience.
• Experience with any state's child welfare or health and human services agency, and knowledge of child welfare programs (child protective services, investigations, foster care, adoption, community-based care).
• Experience with cloud migrations (Azure, AWS, or government cloud) and SaaS/low-code CCWIS platforms such as Salesforce or Microsoft Dynamics.
• Familiarity with ACF CCWIS reviews and federal Advance Planning Documents (APDs).
