Are you passionate about helping customers successfully navigate complex data migration journeys to Microsoft 365? Do you enjoy solving technical challenges, collaborating across teams, and guiding customers through transformational cloud adoption initiatives?

The Global Consumption & Delivery Acceleration team is looking for a FastTrack Migration SME to help customers accelerate their migration and modernization efforts across Microsoft 365. In this role, you will partner closely with customers, field teams, partners, and delivery stakeholders to assess migration requirements, develop migration strategies, and drive successful onboarding outcomes for organizations transitioning from Exchange, Google Workspace, File Shares, and Box to Microsoft 365 services, including Exchange Online (EXO), OneDrive for Business (ODfB), and SharePoint Online (SPO).

As a trusted technical advisor, you will leverage deep expertise in migration methodologies, tools, and practices to help customers remove deployment barriers, mitigate risks, and achieve their desired business outcomes. You will play a critical role in guiding customers through every stage of the migration lifecycle, from discovery and planning to execution and adoption.
