Job Summary:
As a Senior Consultant within our Digital Workplace Practice, you will lead the design and delivery of Microsoft Modern Work solutions, with a focus on mergers and acquisitions (M&A), divestitures, Microsoft 365 tenant-to-tenant migrations, and endpoint solutions with Microsoft Intune. You will guide clients through discovery, architecture, migration planning, execution, and post-migration stabilization across identity, messaging, collaboration, and endpoints. This hands-on consulting role combines technical delivery, client advisory, and team mentorship to help organizations integrate or separate workplaces while protecting data, maintaining business continuity, and minimizing disruption to users.
Essential Functions:
- Assist with statement of work development and validation as needed.
- Lead client discovery, workshops, and readiness assessments across Microsoft 365, Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID, and endpoint management to define Modern Work requirements, M&A objectives, migration scope, dependencies, integration or separation timelines, and business continuity needs.
- Develop migration strategies, effort estimates, workload sequencing, migration waves, cutover runbooks, and rollback or recovery plans with clear assumptions, exclusions, and acceptance criteria. Evaluate migration tools against workload coverage, limitations, client constraints, and cost.
- Develop target-state recommendations and architecture diagrams for Microsoft 365 tenant consolidation and separation, including identity alignment, hybrid dependencies, coexistence, domain transitions, access controls, and endpoint integration, in partnership with security and infrastructure teams.
- Lead hands-on migrations of mailboxes, OneDrive accounts, SharePoint sites, and Teams content, coordinating engineering teams and vendors while managing permissions, data integrity, and workload-specific limitations.
- Configure Microsoft 365 services and coordinate identity transitions, including Microsoft Entra ID, directory synchronization, and application access.
- Design and implement endpoint solutions with Microsoft Intune, including Windows Autopilot provisioning, device configuration and compliance policies, application deployment and protection, endpoint security policies, and Windows update management. Plan device enrollment and management transitions for M&A integrations and tenant migrations, minimizing disruption to users.
- Execute pilots, migration testing, cutover validation, and troubleshooting to verify data, mail flow, sign-in, collaboration, device access, and security controls; provide post-migration stabilization and operational handoff.
- Partner with project managers to define workstreams, resource needs, milestones, and cutover schedules, aligning technical delivery with client communications, service desk readiness, and user adoption activities.
- Manage technical risks, dependencies, and scope changes, including licensing, administrative access, application integrations, data retention requirements, and transition service agreement deadlines where applicable.
- Communicate decisions, progress, risks, and user impacts to technical and executive stakeholders.
- Assist with development and improvement of reusable migration playbooks, automation, packaged solutions, standardized templates, methodologies, and delivery standards.
- Mentor other team members and assist them with technology skillset growth.
Required Skills/Abilities/Competencies:
- Excellent customer service skills.
- Strong technical leadership skills with the ability to mentor other team members and develop their skillsets.
- Strong organizational and time management skills, with attention to detail and the ability to prioritize tasks, delegate appropriately, and meet deadlines.
