 * Coordinate migration activities involving Hadoop, Big Data, data platforms, applications, databases, and cloud environments
 * Work with technical teams to identify applications, data, interfaces, jobs, users, and downstream/upstream dependencies associated with the Hadoop environment
 * Partner with architects, engineers, infrastructure teams, data teams, application owners, security, and business stakeholders to establish migration and decommissioning strategies
 * Manage the migration of data and workloads from Hadoop to designated target platforms
 * Track application remediation, data migration, validation, testing, cutover, and decommissioning activities
 * Establish and manage RAID logs (Risks, Actions, Issues, Decisions), project status reporting, and executive communications
 * Identify project risks and dependencies and develop mitigation and contingency plans
 * Coordinate multiple workstreams and technical teams to ensure activities remain aligned with the overall project schedule
 * Manage change control, scope, deliverables, and project documentation
 * Facilitate project meetings, working sessions, steering committee meetings, and executive status reviews
 * Establish and track project KPIs and milestones related to migration completion and Hadoop shutdown
