Some key duties and responsibilities include:
Identify and understand the IT topology of the acquisition, with the understanding that there will be an unknown multitude of new/old physical servers, networks, SANs and other IT equipment regularly seen during M&A's.
Ensure legacy data, email, Teams, systems, and any needed items are migrated over to the enterprise standard IT infrastructure and equipment so it can be supported for the long term
Directly assist users during the transition phase both in person and virtually. This may be done by providing guidance, planning, or executing plans in coordination with the enterprise IT and M&A departments
Assess and document how "legacy" IT infrastructure is used at an acquisition and how existing data will be migrated/archived onto modern cloud-first solutions already in place in Microsoft Azure
Perform data and email migration tasks from legacy to modern cloud-first solutions already in place or architected in Microsoft Azure using both 3rd party tools
Configure and install new IT infrastructure equipment onsite consisting of firewalls, switches, wireless access points, and servers and ensure IT standards are consistent across the organization

Expectations are that this will take time to fully understand, and that you'll help to improve the process once you get your feet under you.
Willingness to speak up quickly when you need help as it's key to getting up to speed quickly and understanding the larger picture.
Technical writing skills for accurate and details-oriented documentation of IT infrastructure, plans, and schedules.
Strong troubleshooting skills over a wide range of IT infrastructure.
Strongly independent but you will be fully backed by an excellent team.
Exceptional written communication skills and an understanding of the limits of written communication, (when to use which option and how to use them effectively.)
Exceptional interpersonal skills, with a focus on relationship-building, listening, and questioning skills.
Ability to respond to after-hours requests on a limited basis.
