About the Role

Robert Half is seeking a highly skilled Data Migration Specialist for an exciting long-term contract position in Carol Stream, Illinois. This pivotal role involves leading the seamless transition of critical business data from NetSuite to Dynamics 365 Business Central (D365 BC), ensuring data integrity, compliance, and operational continuity. As a Data Migration Specialist at Robert Half, you will be at the forefront of ERP system migrations, leveraging your expertise in data mapping, transformation, and validation to drive successful outcomes for our client's organization.

This opportunity is ideal for professionals passionate about data management, ERP implementations, and process optimization. With a competitive salary context of $76 per hour, this role offers substantial earning potential (estimated $140K-$158K annually based on full-time equivalent) and the chance to work on high-impact projects with leading technologies. If you thrive in dynamic environments and have hands-on experience with NetSuite to D365 BC migrations, this position at Robert Half Careers will allow you to showcase your talents while contributing to business transformation.

Key Responsibilities

Data Assessment and Planning

Begin by thoroughly assessing the existing NetSuite data structure. Prioritize data sets based on business priorities, compliance requirements, and risk factors. Collaborate closely with key stakeholders—including IT teams, business leaders, and end-users—to identify critical data elements such as customer records, financial data, inventory, and transactional histories. Define a comprehensive migration scope that aligns with organizational goals, minimizing disruptions while maximizing data value in the new D365 BC environment.

Migration Execution and Tools Development

Develop robust frameworks, tools, and methodologies tailored for efficient data transfer. This includes selecting appropriate ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) tools compatible with both NetSuite and D365 BC ecosystems. Create detailed procedures for data mapping—translating NetSuite schemas to D365 BC formats—while implementing transformation rules to handle discrepancies in data types, formats, and business logic. Ensure all processes adhere to industry best practices like GDPR, SOX compliance, and data governance standards.

Implementation, Validation, and Support

Execute the end-to-end migration lifecycle: extract data from NetSuite, apply transformations, and load into D365 BC. Perform rigorous validation and reconciliation checks using automated scripts and manual audits to verify 100% accuracy and completeness. Proactively identify and resolve issues such as data duplicates, inconsistencies, or integration failures, documenting every step for audit trails and future scalability. Post-migration, support user acceptance testing (UAT), troubleshoot live issues, and deliver hands-on training sessions to empower teams in the new system.

Communication and Documentation

Maintain transparent communication with all stakeholders through regular status reports, dashboards, and meetings. Provide actionable insights and recommendations to enhance future migrations, fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

• 3+ years of proven experience in ERP data migrations, specifically NetSuite to D365 Business Central
