Freelance EUS Architect (ZZP)

1. Modern Management & Device Architecture

Define and own the target-state modern workplace reference architecture, including endpoint management, provisioning standards, compliance baselines, and application packaging/deployment models.

Architect the device migration approach across multiple locations and entities, including phased or selective rollout strategies:Device re-imaging and re-provisioning to target standardsAutopilot readiness and enrollment flows

Conditional Access, identity, and compliance policy alignmentProvide architectural guidance for site-dependent device transitions (e.g., printers, scanners, badge readers, network-dependent assets) tied to future network and directory states.

2. Microsoft 365 Tenant Migration Architecture

Lead technical design for:

Exchange Online migration (mailbox moves, routing, coexistence strategy, domain/SMTP approach)SharePoint Online migration (information architecture, site mapping, restructuring, migration waves)OneDrive migration (user mapping, redirection, data movement strategy)Teams migration (teams/channels structure, chat handling, app integrations) Define cross-tenant coexistence and segregation principles until final consolidation.

3. Domain & Identity Transformation Support

Partner with identity and domain architects to design:

Domain consolidation and directory integration modelsUser, group, and application readiness strategiesDevice domain transition sequencing and edge-case handling

Provide architectural input into major identity transition milestones and enforce segregation principles during transitional phases.

4. Site Migration Design & ReadinessTranslate enterprise-level architecture into site-level execution blueprints, including:

Migration runbooksNetwork readiness dependencies

Peripheral compatibility and transition planningHypercare and local IT support models

Support regional and local IT teams with readiness assessments, tooling preparation, and architectural oversight during execution.

5. Cross-Organizational Integration & Collaboration

Engage with technical leads and external implementation partners to align on dependencies, integration patterns, and execution sequencing.Lead joint design sessions, develop high-level and low-level designs (HLDs/LLDs), and participate in solution validation workshops.

Ensure alignment with program governance frameworks and cross-entity access policies.

6. Security, Compliance & Data Governance

Embed security baselines across all architectural designs (e.g., MFA, Conditional Access, data protection controls, device compliance).

Collaborate with security and compliance teams on data residency, retention, audit, and regulatory considerations during migration.

Ensure solutions meet regulatory, contractual, and access-segregation constraints throughout transition phases.

7. Documentation, Governance & Quality AssuranceOwn technical HLDs, LLDs, architectural decisions, design patterns, and migration playbooks.

Provide architectural oversight during execution, validating readiness gates, enforcing standards, and monitoring architectural debt.

Proactively identify risks, define mitigation strategies, and manage architectural dependencies.

8. Stakeholder Management & Communication

Communicate architectural decisions clearly to infrastructure leadership, workplace teams, program stakeholders, and local IT.

Prepare executive summaries, migration status inputs, and architecture decision records.
