About the role:

We’re looking for an experienced Cutover Manager to take the lead on one of the most critical stages of a major billing system transformation in the telco/energy space. This is a short, high-impact role where you’ll be expected to bring proven cutover expertise and quickly take ownership of planning and execution.

You’ll build and run the cutover plan end to end – from strategy and detailed scheduling through to rehearsals, execution, and go-live – working closely with technical teams, vendors, and program leadership to ensure a smooth transition with minimal disruption.

What you’ll be doing

Building and managing the cutover strategy and detailed plan.
Coordinating across technical teams, business stakeholders, and vendors.
Running cutover rehearsals/mock runs to validate readiness.
Overseeing data migration, validation, and reconciliation.
Managing risks, issues, and escalations during execution.
Providing clear updates and reporting to leadership.
Leading post-cutover reviews and capturing lessons learned.

What we’re looking for

Strong track record leading cutovers on large-scale transformations, ideally billing systems.
Background in telco or energy industries with knowledge of billing and customer processes.
Practical expertise in data migration, deployment planning, and release/change management.
Highly organised, with the ability to manage complex dependencies under pressure.
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
Experience with SIT, UAT, and dress rehearsals feeding into cutover readiness.
