IBM i CMOD Specialist - Enterprise Archive Recovery (Remote)

IBM i CMOD Specialist - Enterprise Archive Recovery (Remote Contract)Banking End Client | Enterprise Archive Recovery

Contract details

• Location: Remote (UK‑based)
• Duration: Initial short‑term engagement, with potential extension
• Rate: £750 - £900 per day (flexible depending on depth of CMOD/IBM i experience)
• Start: ASAP

Rates may flex for candidates who can demonstrate deep, recent CMOD‑on‑IBM‑i experience in a banking context.

I'm currently working with a key global consultancy supporting a banking end client, and I'm urgently looking for a Content Manager OnDemand (CMOD) SME with hands‑on IBM i (AS400) experience to support a critical archive recovery and validation initiative.This is a fully remote contract role focused specifically on CMOD running on IBM i.

The work is highly specialised and will suit someone who has supported enterprise or banking archive platforms and is comfortable working hands‑on with legacy systems.

What you'll be working on

You'll be supporting the recovery of archived enterprise data that was previously migrated from CMOD on IBM i to NetApp, and now needs to be pulled back into CMOD on IBM i so that archive integrity and CMOD formatting can be verified. Specifically, you will:

• Pull archived data back from NetApp storage into Content Manager OnDemand running on IBM i
• Perform CMOD archive integrity checks and validate correct CMOD formatting
• Support manual archive recovery and validation to meet initial delivery deadlines
• Provide input on approaches that can later be automated (automation itself is not the immediate focus)
• Work closely with the client team, who will handle the push out to Azure once data integrity is confirmed

The Azure work is out of scope for this role - the focus is strictly CMOD, IBM i, and archive integrity.

What I need from you

To be considered, your CV must clearly demonstrate hands‑on experience with the following (not theoretical or high‑level exposure):

• IBM Content Manager OnDemand (CMOD)
• CMOD deployed on IBM i / AS400 (this is mandatory)
• Enterprise archive recovery, rehydration, or data pull‑back
• Data integrity checking and CMOD archive formatting validation
• Working with archived data stored on NetApp or similar enterprise storage
• Experience in banking or regulated enterprise environments

This role requires someone who has done this type of work before and is comfortable operating at SME level in a live environment.

Important note on applications

Please ensure your submitted CV explicitly includes:

• CMOD experience
• IBM i / AS400 platform experience
• Archive recovery and integrity validation work

CVs that do not clearly show these skills may not be flagged as relevant during initial review due to the niche nature of the requirement.If you have hands‑on CMOD experience on IBM i and are available in the near term, please send your CV across as soon as possible. This is a time‑critical requirement, and relevant profiles will be prioritised for immediate review and discussion.
