VIQU have partnered with a educational institution who are looking for a hands-on Microsoft 365 Technical Lead to deliver a major tenant-to-tenant cloud consolidation project. You’ll play a key role in implementing a defined strategy, working closely with internal teams, schools, and external partners to ensure a smooth migration.

• Ensure security and compliance within the Microsoft 365 environment.
• Offer expert advice on Microsoft Azure, Windows systems, networking, and collaboration tools.
• Implement agreed strategies efficiently, suggesting improvements when appropriate.
• Lead technical issue resolution to minimise disruption.
• Communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical audiences, including senior leadership.

Key Requirements of the M365 Technical Lead:

• Proven experience in large-scale Microsoft 365 tenancy consolidations or tenant-to-tenant migrations.
• Strong technical skills with Microsoft 365, Entra, and Microsoft Azure.
• Hands-on experience with Windows client/server systems and virtualised networks.
• Knowledge of networking infrastructure, VPNs, firewalls, and hardware support.
• Comfortable with a hands-on technical role and team leadership.
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
• Experience in education environments is advantageous.
• Ability to deliver within an existing strategic framework while contributing ideas for improvement.
