Solution Architect – Shared Data Migration

About the role

At Kyndryl, the Shared Data discipline Solution Architect defines and governs the end-to-end approach for migrating SharePoint Online, OneDrive for Business, and Teams-connected file content during a global tenant-to-tenant M365 consolidation. Day-to-day, you design information architecture-aware migration blueprints covering permissions fidelity, sharing behaviour, metadata, throttling, delta strategy, validation, and exception handling, while standardising factory execution with third-party tooling like ShareGate. You lead escalations on complex failures, set quality gates, and produce operational metrics to keep wave migrations from collapsing into rework. This full-time role is based in Bangalore, Karnataka, India and operates remotely within a three-shift 24x7 Factory model.

What you’ll do

• Define target-state information architecture and governance considerations relevant to tenant consolidation (sharing posture, permissions model, external sharing constraints, retention sensitivity, co
• Define the tenant-to-tenant ODSP migration strategy including discovery, mapping, staging, delta moves, cutover approach, and post-move validation
• Standardise tooling approach (e.g., ShareGate / Quest / equivalent): configuration baselines, scheduling patterns, throttling management, reporting outputs, and error handling
• Define runbooks for key migration tasks: site migrations, OneDrive migrations, Teams files migrations, permissions reconciliation, link/sharing remediation, metadata validation
• Set and enforce quality gates: 'ready to migrate', 'ready to cutover', 'accepted' criteria including evidence packs and sampling methodologies
• Create the exception framework for difficult content (very large libraries, broken inheritance sprawl, customisations, third-party integrations, legacy workflows, blocked file types)
• Define a repeatable approach to permissions and sharing parity (what is 'equivalent', what must be remediated, what requires business sign-off)
• Lead escalation on complex failures: permissions anomalies, throttling, content mismatches, orphaned identities, broken sharing links, Teams dependency problems

What you’ll bring

• Proven delivery of tenant-to-tenant SharePoint/OneDrive migrations at enterprise scale, which must be evidenced
• Deep SharePoint Online/OneDrive expertise covering permissions, sharing, information architecture, metadata, site templates, modern site constructs, and governance controls
• Hands-on experience using ShareGate (preferred) or comparable enterprise migration tooling, with ability to interpret logs and failure modes
• Strong understanding of Teams-connected content storage patterns and how Teams usage intersects with SharePoint/OneDrive
• Experience building factory-ready runbooks, validation gates, and evidence packs to drive repeatable execution
• Strong troubleshooting mindset: isolate issues quickly, define a fix pattern, and push it into standard practice
• Ability to drive standards adoption across multiple teams and regions without becoming a blocker
• Clear communicator of data risk and end-user impact, with no false confidence

Nice to have

• Experience with highly regulated or complex governance environments (strict retention, compliance, sensitivity labelling interactions)
• Familiarity with scripting and automation for checks/remediation (PowerShell/Graph)
• Knowledge of common ODSP migration pitfalls: link behaviour, sharing model differences, permissions sprawl, performance constraints, change windows
