The Role
The Role
You are the offshore specialist leader for tenant‑to‑tenant SharePoint/OneDrive/Teams content migration. You provide technical authority, escalation support and delivery patterns for the Scale squads and the Factory. Your success is measured by reducing exceptions, accelerating resolution of complex ODSP/Teams content issues and providing repeatable runbooks and "known fix" patterns that enable industrial execution. You will typically align to one region (Europe, Americas, or Asia) and adapt working hours accordingly, while maintaining common standards across the global programme.
Key Responsibilities
- Act as the ODSP/Teams migration technical authority for your aligned region; provide escalation support to Scale and Factory teams.
- Define and maintain ODSP/Teams migration runbooks, validation gates and remediation playbooks.

- Provide guidance on Teams‑associated file dependencies and cutover sequencing constraints.
- Ensure evidence capture is complete and consistent for migration acceptance and audit readiness.
- Maintain a "known issues and fixes" catalogue; drive repeat issue reduction through root cause elimination.
- Coordinate with Identity and Entra Apps specialists where access, sharing or auth dependencies block content validation.
- Provide metrics inputs on exceptions and remediation throughput; propose operational improvements.
- Participate in cutover windows to ensure rapid triage and stabilisation.

Shift / Working Pattern Notes
Scale teams operate as a cohesive unit within a follow‑the‑sun project delivery model. Each scale team works an 8‑hour shift, scheduled across a 24‑hour global working day. Structured handovers between scale teams are mandatory and cutover periods may require rota flexibility.
