Data Migration Lead

Overview Posting Type : Remote/Hybrid Job Overview The FOIA Data Migration & Compliance Lead is a technically skilled, government-domain-experienced professional who serves as both a hands-on practitioner and technical lead for Relativity's FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) Data Migration initiative. This role enables Relativity's government customers to onboard, migrate, and manage their FOIA data within RelativityOne. This position balances defining, documenting, and prioritizing Data Migration tooling requirements in collaboration with engineering while engaging directly with FOIA agency customers to execute and support migration projects. Because this role handles government data under Relativity's FedRAMP authorization, familiarity with FedRAMP significant-change processes, FIPS 140-3, and NIST frameworks is expected. Due to customer requirements, the successful candidate must be a U.S. citizen and obtain a Public Trust clearance, which may involve additional background screening. If you cannot obtain the Public Trust clearance, you may not work on the RelativityOne Government product. Job Description and Requirements Data Migration Execution Lead end-to-end data migration projects for new FOIA customers and government agencies, ensuring data is migrated into RelativityOne accurately, securely, and efficiently. Develop and execute migration plans, including data mapping, validation, transformation logic, and cutover strategies tailored to agency requirements. Serve as the primary technical point of contact for FOIA agency customers across the migration lifecycle, from pre-migration planning through post-migration validation. Troubleshoot and resolve migration issues, data anomalies, and integration challenges in collaboration with engineering. Technical Implementation Leadership Serve as the technical subject matter expert and product backlog driver for the Data Migration Utility. Maintain a near-term view of utility enhancement needs, balance delivery with scalability, and communicate tradeoffs to engineering and product leadership. Write user stories, acceptance criteria, and functional specifications; test and validate new utility features, providing structured feedback and driving iteration. Document tool capabilities, configurations, and migration best practices. Government & FOIA Customer Enablement Apply deep knowledge of FOIA regulations and agency data management workflows to deliver tailored migration guidance. Partner with the broader TAM and Customer Success teams to onboard new FOIA agency customers and establish repeatable migration playbooks and success criteria. Serve as a subject matter expert on government data handling, including data sensitivity classifications, retention policies, and agency-specific compliance considerations. Represent the voice of government agency customers internally, translating operational realities into actionable product feedback. Documentation & Continuous Improvement Create and maintain technical documentation, migration runbooks, and knowledge base content to support scalable migration delivery. Identify and report product defects, tool gaps, and process inefficiencies discovered during engagements. Continuously refine migration methodologies to improve accuracy, efficiency, and customer experience. FedRAMP & Government Data Security Context All FOIA data handled in this role is DT1 (Data Type 1), the highest sensitivity tier under Relativity's FedRAMP authorization. Direct access to DT1 data requires Public Trust clearance. Work within pre-approved toolsets and Azure-native capabilities. Minimum Qualifications Bachelor's degree in computer science, information technology, information management, or a related field — or equivalent practical experience. Experience with government agencies or regulated-industry customers in a technical or consulting capacity. Experience in data migration, data integration, or data engineering, including designing and executing migrations of structured and/or semi-structured data sets. Working knowledge of SQL and data querying/transformation; hands-on experience with data formats, transformation tools, and scripting languages (e.g., Python, PowerShell, JSON, XML, CSV). Strong written and verbal communication skills for conveying complex concepts to technical and non-technical stakeholders. Experience as a product owner or technical lead, capturing requirements, documenting specifications, and driving iterative delivery. Ability to obtain and maintain a Public Trust designation as a condition of employment. Candidates with an active federal clearance are preferred. Preferred Qualifications Experience with federal, state, or local government agencies, FOIA administration, records management, data governance, or public records compliance. Knowledge of the FOIA process, including exemptions, workflows, timelines, and high-volume request management. Familiarity with government data security frameworks (NIST SP 800-53, FedRAMP, FISMA, CJIS). Experience handling government-designated sensitive data categories (CUI, PII, LES) per handling requirements. Experience with government procurement, contracting, or Authority to Operate (ATO) processes. Experience building or supporting data migration solutions on extensible SaaS or cloud platforms with REST APIs and cloud storage. Familiarity with FOIA platforms (e.g., FOIAXpress, GovQA, Paladin) and how agency FOIA systems structure data. Familiarity with Relativity or RelativityOne, or relevant certifications (RCA, Specialist, Expert). Compensation Relativity is committed to competitive compensation. This position is eligible for total compensation including base salary, annual bonus, and long-term incentives. The expected salary range is $134,000 to $202,000, with final offer based on experience, skills, qualifications, and internal pay equity. #J-18808-Ljbffr
