We're initiating a key project to migrate away from our current third-party MSP and are seeking an experienced Technical Architect to lead the design and planning phase - with potential to remain involved through delivery.

We are looking for someone who has experience migrating Active Directory, Outlook, and Office environments from third-party providers to on-prem, hybrid, or cloud platforms.


About the Role

This project will be delivered in two phases:

Phase 1 - Discovery & Design:

  • Evaluate 2-3 migration approaches and outline the pros and cons of each.

  • Develop a clear High-Level Design (HLD) for the preferred migration strategy.

  • Collaborate with internal stakeholders to ensure alignment and readiness.

Phase 2 - Delivery Oversight:

  • If the design is approved, you'll continue into the delivery phase.

  • Provide architectural governance and, where needed, hands-on support during the migration.


Key Skills & Experience:

  • Proven experience delivering infrastructure or cloud architecture projects.

  • Strong background in migrating Active Directory, Outlook, and Office environments from third-party providers to on-prem, hybrid, or cloud platforms.

  • Demonstrated success in large-scale MSP transitions or enterprise IT migrations.

  • Ability to create and present clear HLD/LLD documentation.

  • A consultative and confident communicator who can advise, challenge, and lead stakeholders.
