SharePoint Content Migration Designer

Remote First Working - UK Wide.

Financial Services

Lorien's leading global banking client is seeking a senior SharePoint Content Migration Strategy Manager to join a major enterprise-wide transformation programme.

This is a high-impact role responsible for designing and building the content migration strategy from scratch, securing Board- and ExCo-level buy-in, and leading both the strategy phase and Phase 2 delivery of the migration to SharePoint Online.

You will combine strong technical SharePoint platform expertise with senior stakeholder influence, acting as a trusted advisor while driving the migration from concept through to successful execution.

The role is UK-wide, operated in a remote-first model, and engaged via umbrella.

Key Skills and Experience

• Design, build, and own the end-to-end content migration strategy from inception, defining the target approach for migrating Legacy platforms to SharePoint Online.
• Assess, evaluate, and recommend migration approaches, tooling, and architectural options, producing materials for approval via formal governance and decision-making forums.
• Influence, manage, and engage senior stakeholders up to Board and Executive Committee level, confidently selling the strategy, securing sponsorship, and driving alignment.
• Develop and maintain a detailed migration roadmap, covering milestones, risks, dependencies, assumptions, and mitigation strategies.
• Define the overall migration and SharePoint delivery framework, including process, platform design, data quality standards, governance, security, and compliance considerations.
• Own Phase 2 delivery, transitioning from strategy into execution and ensuring the migration is delivered in line with the approved roadmap.
• Provide technical leadership across the SharePoint Online platform, leveraging deep hands-on experience to shape design decisions, solution architecture, and migration outcomes.
• Define resourcing and capability requirements, supporting onboarding and mobilisation of delivery teams where required.
• Lead and coordinate multi-disciplinary teams to deliver the migration effectively, on time, and to quality standards.
• Work closely with business, technology, and programme stakeholders to ensure content is migrated accurately, securely, and in line with regulatory and business requirements.
• Ensure alignment with the wider transformation programme, managing interdependencies across parallel workstreams.
• Deliver clear progress reporting and insight to programme governance, steering committees, and senior leadership forums.
• Translate complex technical architecture and migration detail into clear, executive-level communication for non-technical stakeholders.

Skills & Experience Required

• Proven experience building and owning content migration strategies from scratch, through to successful delivery.
• Strong, hands-on technical experience designing and building SharePoint Online platforms within enterprise environments.
• Demonstrated delivery of large-scale SharePoint or content migration programmes, ideally within regulated or complex organisations.
• Proven ability to influence senior leaders, engaging confidently with Board- and ExCo-level stakeholders.
• Experience selling strategic recommendations and driving consensus across competing priorities.
• Background leading delivery teams through Phase 2 execution, not just strategy and design.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to bridge deep technical detail and executive decision-making.
• Comfortable operating in a remote-first, UK-wide delivery model.
• Banking or financial services experience is highly desirable.
