Summit / Skillman, NJ

Hybrid – 4 days in office

$45 - $56 per hour

About The Role

Our client, a Fortune 500 consumer packaged goods company, is seeking a Data Migration Specialist to support the build-out of a clinical image library. In this hybrid role based in Summit/Skillman, NJ, you will be responsible for managing the transfer of critical data from physical media and external sources into AWS S3 storage, as well as supporting programmatic, batch-driven metadata entry into databases. You will own the hands-on data processing and migration work, ensuring data integrity and completeness throughout the process. This is an opportunity to contribute to a high-visibility initiative and gain hands-on experience with large-scale data operations in a dynamic, collaborative environment.

What You'll Do

• Transfer critical data files from external hard drives, flash drives, and CRO-provided folders directly to AWS S3 storage buckets
• Organize and structure digital image and data files to align with internal repository standards
• Run and modify Python scripts to verify study completeness for high-impact studies
• Use programmatic/batch scripts to enter metadata into corresponding database fields, extracting relevant information from file names and paths
• Verify all files have been fully transferred from source and document transfer logs (e.g., total file count and file size)
• Work in parallel across multiple data pathways—some routed through physical hard drives requiring onsite work, others through folder transfers—flagging and manually resolving files that fall outside scripted processes

What You Bring

• 1-4 years of database experience, with strong comfort working across database structures and metadata fields
• Proficiency in Python for running and modifying programmatic/batch scripts used in metadata data entry
• Experience with database/metadata entry, including basic SQL or structured data entry tools
• Comfort with large-scale physical file transfer (external hard drives, flash drives) and handling sensitive physical media
• Highly detail-oriented, with strong data organization and quality-control habits
• Familiarity with AWS S3 (basic upload/organize functions) preferred

What's In It For You

• The opportunity to support a high-visibility initiative for a Fortune 50 Consumer Health company
• Hands-on experience with large-scale data operations
• Collaborative, fast-paced work environment
• Potential for professional growth and skill development in data migration and cloud storage technologies
