Job Description

Role: Data Project Manager (CCWIS Data Migration)
Location: Remote
Summary. The Data Project Manager owns the plan, schedule, risks and quality gates for moving child welfare data from DFPS's legacy SACWIS (IMPACT) to the new CCWIS. The migration runs in phases, so for months both systems will be live at once. This role leads the data bridge that keeps them consistent until the legacy system is retired.
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).
