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****The Role:** As the Entra Apps Factory Shift Lead, you will lead on‐shift technical delivery for tenant‐to‐tenant transition of enterprise applications, app registrations and associated identity/access integrations that must be re‐established in the destination tenant. This discipline is core to successful workload migration because application authentication, authorisation, secrets/certificates and trust relationships must be recreated and validated to keep business services functioning through cutover waves. You will run a 24x7 factory model: managing backlogs, enforcing runbooks, coordinating with security/identity stakeholders and ensuring evidence capture for every app remediated.**Key Responsibilities:** - Lead execution of Entra Apps migration/remediation runbooks during your shift, ensuring predictable throughput and quality gates. - Own triage for application access failures post‐tenant transition (SSO misconfig, missing claims, certificate/secret issues, redirect URI mismatch, conditional access blocks). - Coordinate recreation and validation of enterprise apps and app registrations in the target tenant, including keys/secrets/certs rotation and permissions re‐grant patterns where applicable. - Manage cross‐tenant access considerations that support collaboration and transition states (where used), ensuring correct governance and safe configuration. - Maintain shift backlog, prioritise by business criticality and cutover schedule and coordinate stakeholder validation where required. - Drive evidence capture: configuration proof, test results, sign‐in validation, rollback notes and completion records suitable for audit/governance. - Ensure operational handovers are crisp: open risks, high‐priority apps, dependencies and next actions clearly documented. - Coordinate with Devices/Shared Data/Power Platform/Power BI teams to resolve identity and app dependencies impacting wave execution. - Drive continuous improvement of runbooks, templates and test scripts to reduce time per app and minimise repeat defects. - Escalate complex vendor application issues with complete diagnostic evidence and clear business impact.**Who You Are****Must‐Have (or equivalent experience):** - Delivered **production tenant‐to‐tenant Entra Apps remediation** (enterprise apps/app registrations) in your specialism, including cutover validation. - Strong hands‐on expertise with **Microsoft Entra ID** application constructs: enterprise applications, app registrations, service principals, permissions/consent and token/claim concepts. - Strong experience with secrets/certificates lifecycle, rotation planning and secure handling practices. - Experience working with conditional access and cross‐tenant access settings where relevant and understanding how these can block or permit access during transition phases. - Proven runbook discipline and evidence capture practice; comfortable operating in audited environments. - Ability to lead delivery in a **24x7 three‐shift model**, including formal handovers and accountable shift outcomes.**Good‐to‐Have:** - SC‐300 certification (or equivalent) and/or MS‐102. - Microsoft Graph/PowerShell automation experience to accelerate inventory, recreation templates and validation checks. - Experience with SSO standards and patterns (SAML/OIDC/OAuth) and federated integrations with third‐party SaaS vendors. - Experience working with multi‐tenant organisations/collaboration constructs (B2B settings, controlled cross‐tenant relationships). - Strong security mindset: least privilege, access reviews and configuration drift control.**Interpersonal & Consulting Skills:** - Structured, evidence‐driven leadership: avoids guesswork and enforces repeatability. - Confident communicator with technical and non‐technical stakeholders; explains risk/impact clearly. - Coaches engineers into consistent execution and strong operational habits (tickets, proof, testing). - Calm under pressure during cutovers; leads triage with discipline and prioritisation. - Strong dependency management behaviours; proactively removes blockers across disciplines. - Treats application owners and business teams professionally; sets expectations and drives timely validation.**Typical Deliverables / KPIs:** - Throughput: apps remediated/tested per shift vs plan. - Defect rate: percentage of apps requiring rework after first validation. - MTTR: time to restore access for critical apps during wave cutovers. - Evidence capture: completeness of configuration proof and validation artefacts per app. - SLA: cutover readiness achieved on time; escalations raised early with sufficient evidence.**Shift / Working Pattern Notes:** - This role operates within a **three‐shift 24x7 Factory model**. The specific rota will be confirmed, but **shift handovers are mandatory** and performance is measured on shift outcomes. Peak cutover windows may require schedule flexibility.**Being You**The “Kyn” in Kyndryl means kinship, which represents the strong bonds we have with each other, our customers and our communities.
