Job description

Who We Are

At Kyndryl, we run and reimagine the mission-critical technology systems that drive advantage for the world’s leading businesses. We are at the heart of progress; with proven expertise and a continuous flow of AI-powered insight, enabling smarter decisions, faster innovation, and a lasting competitive edge. For our people–Kyndryls that means doing purposeful work that powers human progress. Join us and experience a flexible, supportive environment where your well-being is prioritized and your potential can thrive.

The Role

To ensure successful wave execution, you will lead technical execution of SharePoint/OneDrive/ODSP migration waves during your shift, ensuring runbook adherence and predictable throughput. You will own shift triage for failures, focusing on throttling, permissions mapping issues, blocked files, metadata/versioning exceptions, large list/library constraints, and URL/path constraints. You will validate readiness by checking source/target access, migration accounts/consents, pre-checks, quota constraints and cutover schedule alignment. You will configure, schedule and monitor migration jobs using the approved toolset (native and/or third-party), proactively identifying risks before they become wave blockers. You will enforce quality gates regarding sampling/validation outcomes, permission parity checks, metadata fidelity and user experience verification. You will maintain operational control of the shift backlog and prioritise tasks based on cutover plans, dependencies and SLA. You will produce and manage evidence packs per wave, which include migration reports, exception logs, remediation records, sign‑off artefacts and audit trail completeness. You will coordinate handovers with clear exceptions, blockers and next actions; ensure continuity of long-running migration jobs across shifts. You will drive continuous improvement by updating runbooks, known error catalogues and operational dashboards; reduce recurring failures and rework. Finally, you will manage escalations (vendor support, platform support pathways, programme technical leadership) with complete diagnostic context and clear asks.

Who You Are

Your Future at Kyndryl The career path ahead is full of exciting opportunities to grow and advance within the job family. With dedication and hard work, you can climb the ladder to higher bands, achieving coveted positions such as Principal Engineer or Vice President of Software. These roles not only offer the chance to inspire and innovate, but also bring with them a sense of pride and accomplishment for having reached the pinnacle of your career in the software industry. You’re good at what you do and possess the required experience to prove it. However, equally as important – you have a growth mindset; keen to drive your own personal and professional development. You are customer‑focused – someone who prioritises customer success in their work. And finally, you’re open and borderless – naturally inclusive in how you work with others.

Required Technical and Professional Experience

• Delivered at least one production tenant‒to‒tenant migration of SharePoint Online and/or OneDrive (ODSP) content as a senior SME/lead.


• Deep expertise in SharePoint Online/OneDrive architecture concepts relevant to migration: site structures, permissions models, sharing/links, metadata/versioning, information architecture constraints.


• Hands‒on experience with migration tooling in this space (e.g., ShareGate and/or Quest ODM or equivalent) and the ability to run migrations at scale.


• Proven ability to run migration operations in a factory model: scheduling, monitoring, exception handling and quality gates at high volume.


• Strong understanding of security/compliance impacts in migrated content (sensitivity labels/retention behaviours where applicable; access governance, least privilege).


• Strong runbook discipline and evidence capture practice; comfortable being held to audit standards for every wave.


• Experience migrating Teams‒associated content dependencies (files in SharePoint, OneDrive artefacts linked to user data used by collaboration features) and coordinating sequencing.


• Familiarity with multi‒geo considerations and URL/domain nuances that can impact migration execution.


• Microsoft certifications relevant to Microsoft 365 administration (e.g., MS‐2) or SharePoint specialism, or equivalent experience.


• Experience using PowerShell/Graph for reporting, bulk checks, or automation around migration readiness and validation.


• Knowledge of data governance, information architecture and content lifecycle management in Microsoft 365.
