Project Manager

Not Disclosed

Job Description & Details

The role is a straight‑up Project Manager gig focused on moving massive on‑prem file servers into SharePoint Online/O365 for a tightly regulated financial services firm. If you’ve ever wrestled with data‑center exits, Azure lift‑and‑shifts, or the quirks of BlackRock Aladdin, this is a real‑world chance to own the end‑to‑end delivery.

What You'll Actually Be Doing

You’ll be the single point of accountability for planning, scheduling, and executing large‑scale server and file‑server migrations. That means building a migration blueprint, aligning security and compliance checkpoints for a highly regulated environment, and keeping the business side happy via daily stand‑ups, status decks, and escalation paths. You’ll also be the bridge between technical teams (Azure, networking, storage) and business owners, making sure every stakeholder knows what’s happening and why.

The Core Tech Stack

The non‑negotiables are deep experience with on‑prem to SharePoint Online/O365 migrations and a solid grasp of Azure‑related projects. You’ll need to speak the language of asset‑management and financial‑services compliance, and be comfortable pulling data from Jira and Confluence to drive transparent reporting. If you’ve ever touched BlackRock Aladdin, that’s a huge plus because the client expects you to understand its data‑flow constraints.

Interview Expectations

  1. “Walk me through how you’d design a migration from an on‑prem file server farm to SharePoint Online while staying compliant with FINRA/SEC regulations.” – They’re looking for a step‑by‑step risk‑assessment, data‑classification, and validation plan, not just a high‑level checklist.
  2. “How would you use Jira and Confluence to manage stakeholder communication on a high‑risk data‑center exit?” – Expect them to probe your ability to set up custom workflows, traceability matrices, and real‑time dashboards that keep auditors and business owners on the same page.

Application Advice

Tailor your resume to hit the exact buzzwords the JD throws at you: large‑scale server/file‑server migrations, SharePoint Online, O365, Azure, regulated environment, asset management, financial services, Jira, Confluence, BlackRock Aladdin. Lead with a bullet that quantifies a similar migration you drove (e.g., “Led 200TB on‑prem to SharePoint Online migration for a $2B asset‑management firm, achieving 0 % compliance breaches”). Sprinkle those terms throughout your experience section so the ATS flags you as a perfect match.
