More:

We are a Manchester-based business migrating a live, client-facing analytics platform from Snowflake to Microsoft Fabric. This is an outside IR35 contract with an expected duration of 6 to 9 months, though the exact length will be confirmed after the initial scoping phase. The role is hybrid, with one day per week in our Manchester office. We are looking for someone who has real migration experience and wants to take ownership of the move end to end.
