SharePoint Content Migration Strategy Manager
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.
