Program Manager - Data Warehouse Cloud Migration (Insurance)

Exerizon is a fast-growing strategy and technology consulting firm founded by former senior leaders from global consulting and cloud organizations. We help current and future market leaders tackle their greatest challenges — from digital strategy and cloud transformation to data & AI platforms and application modernization. We redefined the traditional consulting model: we share risk with our clients through impact-based remuneration, and we share ownership with our people from day one.

We are looking for a Program Manager to own the end-to-end delivery of a large data warehouse migration to the cloud for an insurance client. The programme replaces a legacy enterprise data warehouse that feeds financial, actuarial and regulatory reporting with a cloud data platform — across many source systems, hundreds of reports and several workstreams, vendors and client teams. Regulatory reporting cannot miss a deadline while the migration runs. You are accountable for the whole thing: scope, plan, budget, risk, quality, vendors and the client relationship up to the steering committee.

• 10+ years in IT delivery, including 5+ years as a programme manager accountable for multi-workstream programmes with multi-million budgets and teams of 30+ across client, vendor and consulting staff
• At least one large data warehouse or data platform migration delivered end to end — legacy EDW (Oracle, Teradata, SQL Server, SAS, Informatica or similar) to a cloud platform (Databricks, Snowflake, Azure or AWS data services) — including parallel run, reconciliation and decommissioning
• Insurance experience: you understand the data behind policy administration, claims, reinsurance, finance and actuarial reporting, and the reporting calendar (financial close, Solvency II, IFRS 17) that the migration must not break
• Technical fluency, not just vocabulary: you can follow an architecture discussion on lakehouse vs. warehouse, ELT pipelines, data modelling and reconciliation approaches, and challenge an estimate or a wave plan
• Strong programme management toolkit: integrated planning, estimation and EAC tracking, RAID management, change control, benefits tracking, dependency management across workstreams
• Vendor and contract management: SOWs, acceptance, performance management and escalation with system integrators and software vendors
• Working knowledge of the regulatory environment for cloud in Polish financial services: GDPR, DORA, outsourcing and cloud notification requirements of the insurance regulator
• Executive-level communication: structured written status, clean steering decks, and the habit of raising bad news early with options attached; comfortable chairing a steering committee with a CFO and a CRO in the room
• Full professional fluency in Polish and English
• Nice to have:
• PMP, PRINCE2, MSP or SAFe certification
• Hands-on background in data engineering or BI earlier in your career
• Experience with migration tooling and automated conversion (e.g. ETL code converters, SQL translation, data reconciliation frameworks)
• FinOps for cloud data platforms: consumption forecasting and cost control
• Experience on the client side of an insurer or a bank
