Data Migrations Specialist

Schedule: Monday to Friday, coverage needed for North American working hours ( 8am-4pm or 9am-5pm )

Do you enjoy turning messy spreadsheets into clean, organized data? Do you like helping people through a big transition? If so, we'd like to meet you!

Gymdesk is hiring a Data Migration Specialist to join our Customer Success team. This is a key role in organizing each new customer's move to Gymdesk. You'll work closely with our Onboarding Specialists to collect a customer's data from their previous software, then clean it, map it, and import it so their business is ready to run on day one.

This is a hands-on role that balances problem-solving with people. One day you might be investigating why a date column won't import correctly. The next, you might be walking a gym owner through a data discrepancy and helping them feel confident about the switch. If you're detail-oriented, calm under a deadline, and happy both working independently and collaborating with a small, supportive team, you'll fit right in.

About Gymdesk

Gymdesk (https://gymdesk.com/) is modern gym management software for owners who want to run and grow their business. More than 4,500 gyms in 34 countries use it, including martial arts schools, fitness gyms, yoga and Pilates studios, and multi-location gyms. Gymdesk automates the busywork of running a gym, like memberships, billing, scheduling, payments, and marketing, so owners can focus on what matters: less admin, more members. We're a growing startup with a global, fully remote team of about 80 people, and we're looking for more great team members to help support our customers.
