Pubblicato il 25-10-2026 - Nicholson Search and Selection in Livorno
About the programme Our client, a software vendor specialising in qualified trust services and digital transaction management, is consolidating four existing Salesforce Sales Cloud and Service Cloud orgs into a single target org. The programme will harmonise data and business processes, simplify the Salesforce landscape and establish a common platform across the business. We are recruiting a hands-on Salesforce Data Migration Specialist to own the data migration workstream, from discovery and mapping through to testing, cut-over and post-go-live support. You will analyse the four source orgs, define how their data maps to the target model, address data quality and duplication issues, and ensure that migrated data is accurate, complete and fit for business use. Working closely with Sales and Service stakeholders, Salesforce architects, technical teams and implementation partners, you will take ownership of migration delivery and proactively drive issues to resolution. Experience with systems integration is an advantage, particularly in managing dependencies and supporting end-to-end testing.
