About the Role
Are you a mid-level Cloud or Infrastructure Specialist who balances technical hands-on execution with sharp organizational and coordination skills? We are seeking an
Azure Cloud Storage Migration Coordinator
to lead a critical, full-time Cloud Security & Storage Modernization initiative.
This role sits right at the intersection of Azure Systems/Cloud Engineering and IT Project Coordination . It is not a high-level Enterprise Architecture role, nor is it a pure, non-technical Project Management role.
We need a mid-level execution specialist who can operate with technical autonomy: someone comfortable configuring Azure Private Endpoints and working with NetApp/file share storage, while spending significant time working directly with business unit heads, tracking 1,000+ share inventories, scheduling CAB maintenance windows, and driving migration cutovers.
Who We Are Looking For (Mid-Level Profile)
3 to 7 years
of hands-on experience in cloud infrastructure, enterprise storage, or migration initiatives.
Balanced Skillset:
~30% Technical Execution (Azure VNets, Private Endpoints, Storage Accounts), ~40% Stakeholder & Project Coordination (tracking, scheduling, outreach), and ~30% Discovery & Governance (uncovering orphaned file shares and tracking ownership).
Self-Driven Execution:
Able to work independently to drive cutovers and change requests without needing deep architectural oversight, relying on senior architects only for complex edge-case escalations.
Key Responsibilities
Inventory & Asset Management:
Own and maintain a tracking inventory of 1,000+ storage file shares and endpoints targeted for public-to-private migration.
Stakeholder Engagement & Discovery:
Reach out to application owners and business unit heads to identify ownership, discover orphaned shares, and align migration schedules.
Technical Migration Execution:
Coordinate and execute transitioning Azure storage access off public endpoints and onto Azure Private Endpoints (updating network connectivity, IP assignments, DNS, and file paths).
Change Management:
Lead maintenance window planning, schedule Change Advisory Board (CAB) reviews, and manage risk/dependency tracking.
Validation & Cleanup:
Work directly with application teams post-migration to validate connectivity and retire unowned or obsolete storage endpoints safely.
Required Qualifications
3–7 years of experience
supporting cloud, enterprise storage, or infrastructure migration projects.
Intermediate Azure Knowledge:
Solid understanding of Azure Storage Accounts, Azure VNets, Private Endpoints, DNS considerations, and IP address management.
Storage Experience:
Hands-on experience working with enterprise storage environments, file shares (NFS, SMB/CIFS), and changing file paths.
NetApp Experience:
Direct experience with NetApp storage environments or NetApp-to-Azure integrations.
Strong Coordination Abilities:
Proven capability to organize large tracking repositories (Excel, ServiceNow, Jira), lead stakeholder meetings, and keep teams accountable to schedules.
Communication:
Excellent verbal and written communication skills to articulate technical change impacts to non-technical business leaders.
Preferred Qualifications
Hands-on implementation experience with Azure Private Link / Private Endpoints.
Prior experience in
healthcare, financial services, or highly regulated enterprise environments
.
Working knowledge of ITIL-based change management frameworks.
