About the Role
BBB Techs is engaged by a global investment firm to support an enterprise-wide consolidation of content into SharePoint Online. You will join a 20-person migration program as a business analyst embedded within the firm's business units, owning discovery, requirements, and information architecture decisions from initial intake through business sign-off.
Using a structured requirements workbook, you will establish where each business unit's content lives today, across Box, on-premises file shares, and legacy repositories, and define how that content should be structured, secured, and governed in SharePoint Online. Your validated requirements become the build specification for the technical migration team.
This is a business analysis role, not an engineering role. Success depends on facilitation, structured thinking, and clear, confident communication with stakeholders ranging from department heads to enterprise technology leads.
Key Responsibilities
Discovery & Source Inventory
Partner with business units and their enterprise technology leads to inventory and validate top-level content sources, including volume, ownership, activity, and business criticality.
Requirements Elicitation
Lead workbook-driven working sessions to document content types, columns and metadata, versioning needs, workflows and automation, and integrations that must be preserved or redesigned.
Governance & Compliance
Capture retention, sensitivity labeling, and data loss prevention requirements aligned to Microsoft Purview, and flag regulated or confidential content for appropriate handling with compliance stakeholders.
Access & Permissions Analysis
Review existing folder structures and access models, identify top document contributors and cross-functional consumers, and translate legacy permissions into a least-privilege SharePoint Online model built on Microsoft 365 and SharePoint groups.
Information Architecture & Site Design
Guide business units through the firm's standard site templates; recommend hub association, site and library structure, navigation, and metadata-versus-folder strategy; and confirm accountable site owners before go-live.
Validation, Reporting & Sign-Off
Produce clear current-state and future-state findings, reconcile gaps with the program team, and secure formal business sign-off before migration.
Business–Technical Liaison
Serve as the primary point of contact between business units and the technical migration team through cutover, coordinating schedules, user communications, post-migration validation, and issue resolution.
Required Qualifications
- 3+ years of business analysis experience, including at least one end-to-end SharePoint or Microsoft 365 content migration, whether as the analyst, consultant, or a member of the migration team.
- Solid working knowledge of SharePoint Online information architecture: hub, team, and communication sites; document libraries; content types and site columns; and permission inheritance.
- Understanding of Microsoft 365 governance and compliance, including sensitivity labels, retention policies, and Microsoft Purview.
- Proven ability to facilitate requirements workshops and translate business needs into clear, structured, testable requirements.
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the confidence to manage expectations and drive decisions with senior stakeholders.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; highly organized and able to support multiple business units concurrently against program deadlines.
- Advanced Excel skills for content inventories, requirements tracking, and status reporting.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with enterprise migration platforms such as DryvIQ or ShareGate, including interpreting pre-migration scans and permission reports.
- Experience migrating content from Box or on-premises file shares, including identifying redundant, obsolete, and trivial (ROT) content.
- Experience in financial services or another regulated industry.
- Familiarity with Power Automate, Teams-connected sites, and SharePoint Advanced Management.
- Relevant certifications, such as:
- Microsoft 365 Certified: Administrator Expert (MS-102), or its successor, Microsoft 365 and AI Services Administrator Associate (AB-650)
- Microsoft Certified: Information Security Administrator Associate (SC-401)
- IIBA Certification of Capability in Business Analysis (CCBA) or Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP)
