You will need to be a NZ Citizen for this role
Our Why
Datacom works with organisations and communities across Australia and New Zealand to make a difference in people’s lives and help organisations use the power of tech to innovate and grow.
About the Role (your why)
This role sits within our data migration services team, which delivers client-facing solutions to ensure accurate, complete, and auditable transfers of customer data into new or upgraded systems. As a Technical Consultant (Data Migration), you will work on project and consulting engagements that focus on profiling, validating, transforming, and reconciling customer data. You’ll define and document migration rules, collaborate closely with customers to present findings, and support remediation activities. Your expertise will help reduce migration risk, improve data quality, and ensure smooth go-lives and handovers.
Our offices are based in any one of our NZ Locations. We like to bring people together in person when we can, but we are mindful of the benefits of working from home for work/ life balance. We therefore leave it to you and the team you join to figure out what works best!
What you’ll do
At the moment, as Technical Consultant (Data Migration) you will be focused on:
- Reviewing and profiling source data to understand structure, content, quality, and risk areas.

- Producing migration reports and dashboards to track data quality and project readiness.
- Supporting cutover activities, running final reconciliations, and handing over documentation to operational teams.
- Contributing to continuous improvement of conversion methodologies, standards, and templates.
We are a pretty agile company, and are keen to respond to customer, technology and internal stakeholders’ changing requirements and this can mean we evolve in our roles to meet those needs.

- 3+ years’ experience in IT systems, systems design, integration, or consulting.
