Senior Technical Consultant – Foundation Lead (Shared Data/ODSP & Teams Files – Tenant-to-Tenant)

Overview

You are the Foundation lead responsible for defining tenant-to-tenant migration standards for SharePoint Online, OneDrive for Business and Teams-associated file content. You will translate information architecture realities (permissions, metadata, sharing, content structures) into repeatable runbooks and quality gates that enable high-volume, low-disruption migrations. You will govern tool configuration standards (native and/or third-party) and establish validation and remediation patterns so Scale squads and the Factory can execute predictably.

Responsibilities

• Define shared data migration strategy and standards for tenant-to-tenant ODSP/Teams files.
• Define discovery and mapping approach (sites, OneDrive, Teams file stores, permissions, metadata, exceptions).
• Produce runbooks for staging, delta moves, cutovers and post‑migration validation; define permissions and sharing parity standards; establish remediation patterns for common issues.
• Define quality gates and acceptance evidence appropriate for enterprise migrations; govern tooling standards (configuration patterns, scheduling approach, reporting outputs).
• Run/lead early pilot content migrations and harden practices based on findings.
• Coordinate dependencies with Identity, Teams and Adoption/change inputs for cutover readiness.
