Microsoft 365 Solutions Architect

About the Role

BravoCG is hiring a Solutions Architect to lead the design and delivery of our most technically demanding Microsoft 365 engagements: large-scale data migrations, records management and regulatory retention programs, and Microsoft Purview compliance and information governance rollouts. This role sits at the top of our technical delivery track — architecting solutions built on the AvePoint platform (Fly, Opus, and Policies & Insights) for state and local government, higher education, and enterprise clients, while mentoring delivery consultants and supporting pre-sales solutioning on new opportunities.

This is a senior, client-facing, individual-contributor role. You will own solution architecture end to end — from discovery through delivery — and serve as the final technical escalation point across active engagements in your practice areas.

Key Responsibilities

Data Migration Engineering

Architect and lead complex migrations — tenant-to-tenant, file-share-to-cloud, and cross-platform (Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, Box, Azure Files, Google Workspace).

Own end-to-end migration methodology: discovery and data inventory, source-to-target permission mapping, migration wave planning, pilot execution, cutover management, and post-migration validation.

Design and troubleshoot PowerShell scripts and automation that extend tooling where native capabilities fall short.

Serve as the final escalation point for technically complex migration issues across active client engagements.

Records Management & Regulatory Retention

Design records management programs to implement retention schedules, litigation holds, and records disposition aligned to client regulatory requirements (state retention schedules, public records law, HIPAA, FERPA, and similar).

Lead ROT (redundant, obsolete, trivial) data analysis and remediation engagements to reduce client data footprint and risk exposure ahead of migration or governance rollout.

Translate client legal and regulatory obligations into technical retention, disposition, and eDiscovery configurations.

Microsoft Purview Compliance & Information Governance

Architect Microsoft Purview solutions spanning sensitivity labeling, data loss prevention (DLP), retention policies, records management, and insider risk management.

Design and implement AvePoint Policies & Insights configurations for external sharing governance, Microsoft 365 group/Teams lifecycle management, and permissions oversight.

Partner with client security, compliance, and legal stakeholders to align technical controls with organizational policy and audit requirements.

Solution Architecture & Client Leadership

Lead technical discovery workshops and translate client business and regulatory requirements into scoped, deliverable solution architectures.

Produce architecture diagrams, migration runbooks, governance frameworks, and other technical deliverables to a client-ready standard.

Serve as the senior technical voice in steering-committee and executive status conversations.

Pre-Sales & Practice Development

Support the sales team on discovery calls, technical demonstrations, and solution scoping for new opportunities involving migration, governance, or compliance.

Contribute to SOW development, level-of-effort estimation, and proposal technical content.

Mentor delivery consultants progressing toward independent ownership of AvePoint Fly and governance engagements; contribute to internal training and certification programs.

,

Required Skills

10+ years of hands-on Microsoft 365 / SharePoint Online administration and architecture experience, including at least 5+ years focused on data migration.

Strong working knowledge of Microsoft Purview — DLP, sensitivity labels, and retention/records management.

Experience designing records management or regulatory retention programs, including state/institutional retention schedules, eDiscovery, and litigation holds.

Proficiency with PowerShell scripting for migration automation and reporting.

Working knowledge of Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), Conditional Access, and identity/access governance concepts.

Excellent client-facing communication skills; comfortable leading executive and steering-committee conversations.

,

Desired Skills

Demonstrated, production experience with AvePoint Fly, AvePoint Opus, and AvePoint Policies & Insights in live client environments (not lab or training environments only).

AvePoint Certified Technical Professional — Fly and/or Cloud Backup.

Microsoft SC-300 (Identity and Access Administrator) or a related Microsoft compliance/security certification (e.g., SC-400 Information Protection Administrator).

Prior consulting or professional-services experience, particularly serving state/local government, higher education, or other regulated industries.
