• Security & Compliance: Strong working knowledge of compliance standards (e.g., ISO 27001, SOC 2) and data residency requirements (GDPR).
• Licensing and TCO: Experience with Microsoft 365 licensing models and a track record of identifying optimization and cost reduction opportunities.
• Consultative Skills: Exceptional ability to lead technical workshops, interview stakeholders, and synthesize findings into clear, executive-level strategy reports and roadmaps.

• Hands-on experience with Microsoft Endpoint Manager/Intune for endpoint consolidation.

Responsibilities

• Architectural Analysis: Lead the assessment of two distinct MS 365 environments, focusing on identifying dependencies, B2B connections, multi-forest/domain complexity, and endpoint management models.
• Identity Strategy: Define the strategy for consolidating corporate identities, specifically bridging the gap between an on-prem Active Directory environment and a cloud-transitioning identity model.
• Security & Compliance Gap Analysis: Conduct a thorough analysis to ensure the final tenant configuration aligns with critical security and compliance requirements, including ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR/EU data residency.
• Licensing and Cost Management: Evaluate current MS 365 licensing models to identify risks of duplicate licensing and propose a technology consolidation and cost optimization plan.
• Migration Strategy & Blueprint: Design a phased migration approach and a target architectural configuration that effectively supports future acquisitions without introducing new complexity.
• Reporting & Estimation: Prepare the final assessment report, including the technology consolidation strategy, the cost/licensing optimization plan, and a rough estimation of the migration project timeline and resource needs.
