CFT to IBM Sterling File Gateway (SFG) Flow Migration Coordinator

Project overview

We are looking for an experienced Flow Migration Coordinator as part of a strategic program to modernize a file exchange platform.

You will be involved in a project to migrate existing flows under Axway Transfer CFT to IBM Sterling File Gateway (SFG), within a complex technical environment, highly integrated and subject to high requirements for security, availability, and compliance.

These file exchanges, carried out daily with numerous internal and external partners, are essential for the operation of business, financial, and regulatory activities. Their migration must be carried out without service interruption or data loss.

Your mission will consist of managing this transformation from end to end, combining in-depth technical expertise in MFT (Managed File Transfer) solutions with a strong ability to coordinate IT teams, business units, and external partners.

You will be responsible for analyzing existing flows, defining migration strategies, configuring new exchanges, organizing tests, and securing production cutovers.

Responsibilities

• Carry out the inventory and mapping of existing CFT flows: partners, protocols, formats, volume, criticality, and application dependencies.
• Analyze flows and define appropriate migration strategies: identical takeover, redesign, or decommissioning.
• Configure flows in IBM Sterling File Gateway: partners, communities, channels, routing rules, certificates, and adapters.
• Design or adapt associated processes: scripts, transformations, acknowledgments, error management, and recovery mechanisms.
• Organize and manage test campaigns: unit tests, integration, end-to-end, non-regression, performance, and partner acceptance.
• Prepare and coordinate production cutover operations, including rollback plans, parallel run periods, and post-migration validations.
• Ensure coordination of business, application, security, infrastructure, network, and operations teams.
• Manage exchanges with external partners to prepare their technical adaptations and validate new transfer methods.
• Organize follow-up committees, ensure progress reporting, and anticipate technical and operational risks.
• Produce and maintain technical documentation: migration files, specifications, test plans, operating procedures, and partner sheets.
• Guarantee the quality, traceability, and security of migration operations.
