URGENT: Migration Specialist (Work From Home) - #34771

AI overview

Own and execute migrations for clients transitioning to a new platform while ensuring data accuracy and timely project completion in a fast-paced environment.

Our client is an innovative startup revolutionizing the property management industry with cutting-edge SaaS solutions. Their mission is to empower property managers globally by streamlining their operations and improving customer relationships through our technology. 

This is an amazing career opportunity for someone who wants to be a part of a fast-growing company.

Overall purpose and responsibilities of the role:

As a Migration specialist, you own the full process of moving clients from their previous PMS into our platform (migration and onboarding). This includes disconnecting old systems, reconnecting every property, and ensuring all units, calendars, rates, content, and integrations are mapped correctly. This goes far beyond “turning things on”: every connection must be configured, verified, and validated to prevent issues like double bookings or pricing errors. You’ll run detailed checks, troubleshoot sync issues, and ensure the migration is stable, accurate, and fully live - because nothing moves forward in the client journey until you make it happen.

Handles majority of the legwork related to data gathering, setup, configuration, and quality checks. Ensures all pre-migration requirements are completed before go-live.

Duties and Responsibilities: 

Migration Execution

● Own the full migration process from kickoff to go-live, ensuring accuracy, timelines, and zero loose ends.

● Publish and validate listings across all platforms, confirming mapping, availability, pricing, and content. 

● Connect and verify integrations with channel managers, OTAs, and third-party tools (pricing, ops, fintech, etc.).

● Run multiple migrations simultaneously, prioritizing work independently and keeping clients on track.

Technical Troubleshooting

● Investigate and resolve sync issues, incorrect mappings, missing configurations, and connectivity errors.

● Perform detailed checks to prevent double bookings, pricing mismatches, or data loss.

● Work with Product, Dev, and Support to resolve complex issues and ensure a stable environment before go-live.

● Think through the impact of every configuration change to protect data accuracy and client operations.

Cross-Team Collaboration

● Collaborate closely with the Onboarding and Support teams to ensure a smooth handover once a client is live.

● Communicate clearly with clients, keeping them accountable to timelines and next steps.

● Share insights from migrations to help improve processes and the product itself.

● Regular client communication during pre-migration (virtual meetings). No meeting during actual migration, only if needed.

● Works with Product/Dev teams only for escalations.

Process & Quality

● Maintain a high standard of accuracy by following (and improving) migration checklists and best practices.

● Document recurring issues, improvements, and edge cases to strengthen the migration workflow.

● Ensure every migration is fully validated before clients transition to onboarding.

Workload & Timelines

  • Handles 1–3 migrations per week.
  • Full migration cycle typically 2 weeks to 1 month (depends largely on client readiness).
