Technical Program Manager – Migration (f/m/d)

Mission

As Technical Program Manager (f/m/d) for Migration, you will be responsible for planning, coordinating, and executing complex user and customer migrations between products and platforms. You will act as the central point of coordination across engineering, services, and customer-facing teams, ensuring migrations are delivered safely, predictably, and with minimal disruption. Your focus is to reduce technical and operational risk, enable scalable migration processes, and ensure customers experience clear value and continuity throughout product transitions.

You will work closely with internal services teams and engage directly with customers where required, combining strong technical understanding with program leadership, risk management, and stakeholder communication.

• Support go/no-go decisions with data, risk assessments, and clear recommendations.

Tools, Processes & Enablement

• Identify gaps in tooling, automation, and processes required to support scalable, repeatable migrations.
• Drive the definition and delivery of internal tools, dashboards, runbooks, and playbooks in collaboration with engineering teams.
• Establish standard migration frameworks, processes, and governance to reduce future effort and risk.
• Continuously improve migration execution through retrospectives, metrics, and feedback from teams and customers.

Change & Adoption

• Support change management activities related to product deprecations and migrations, including internal enablement and customer communication.
• Ensure documentation, training materials, and operational readiness are in place for services and support teams.
• Monitor post-migration outcomes, incidents, and feedback to ensure stability and customer satisfaction.
