The Role
The Role:
You are the Shared Data discipline Solution Architect responsible for defining and governing the end-to-end approach to migrating SharePoint Online, OneDrive for Business and Teams-connected file content during a global tenant-to-tenant M365 consolidation .
This role exists because shared data migrations fail when they’re treated like a “tool run”. You will define the information architecture-aware migration blueprint : permissions fidelity, sharing behaviour, metadata, large content, throttling, delta strategy, validation, exception handling and stabilisation. You will ensure the factory can execute with repeatable patterns using third-party tooling (e.g., ShareGate or equivalent) and that wave migrations don’t collapse into rework.
Key Responsibilities:
- Define target-state information architecture and governance considerations relevant to tenant consolidation (sharing posture, permissions model, external sharing constraints, retention sensitivity, content ownership patterns).
- Define the tenant-to-tenant ODSP migration strategy including discovery, mapping, staging, delta moves, cutover approach and post-move validation.
- Standardise tooling approach (e.g., ShareGate / Quest / equivalent ): configuration baselines, scheduling patterns, throttling management, reporting outputs and error handling.
- Define runbooks for key migration tasks: site migrations, OneDrive migrations, Teams files migrations, permissions reconciliation, link/sharing remediation, metadata validation.
- Set and enforce quality gates : “ready to migrate”, “ready to cutover”, “accepted” criteria including evidence packs and sampling methodologies.
- Create the exception framework for difficult content (very large libraries, broken inheritance sprawl, customisations, third-party integrations, legacy workflows, blocked file types).
- Define a repeatable approach to permissions and sharing parity (what is “equivalent”, what must be remediated, what requires business sign-off).
- Lead escalation on complex failures: permissions anomalies, throttling, content mismatches, orphaned identities, broken sharing links, Teams dependency problems.
- Produce operational metrics for factory execution: throughput, failure categories, rework rate, top blockers and continuous improvement backlog.
- Align Shared Data cutovers to Identity/Devices/Teams readiness so user experience is protected.
Who You Are
Must‑Have:
- Proven delivery of tenant-to-tenant SharePoint/OneDrive migrations at enterprise scale which must be evidenced.
- Deep SharePoint Online/OneDrive expertise (permissions, sharing, IA, metadata, site templates, modern site constructs, governance controls).
- Hands-on experience using ShareGate (preferred) or comparable enterprise migration tooling and ability to interpret logs and failure modes.
- Strong understanding of Teams-connected content storage patterns and how Teams usage intersects with SharePoint/OneDrive.
- Experience building factory-ready runbooks, validation gates and evidence packs to drive repeatable execution.
- Strong troubleshooting mindset: can isolate issues quickly, define a fix pattern and push it into standard practice.
Good‑to‑Have:
- Experience with highly regulated or complex governance environments (strict retention, compliance, sensitivity labelling interactions).
- Familiarity with scripting and automation for checks/remediation (PowerShell/Graph).
- Knowledge of common ODSP migration…
