Senior Active Directory Engineer

The Active Directory Engineer will play a key role in a large-scale enterprise identity modernization program within a complex, multi-operating-company environment. This position is responsible for supporting and accelerating Active Directory consolidation across the organization, with a primary focus on three core workstreams: Migration of user identities from each operating company's on-premises Active Directory into the target identity environment. Migration of user endpoints to an Entra cloud-native-only model. Application remediation to support the target identity and endpoint architecture

The solution design has already been established. This role is focused on execution, coordination, delivery support, issue resolution, and stakeholder engagement to help move each operating company through migration activities in a structured, scalable, and low-disruption manner. This is an ideal opportunity for an analyst/consultant who is comfortable operating in a highly matrixed enterprise environment and can work effectively across infrastructure, identity, endpoint, application, security, and business-facing teams.

The core responsibilities for the job include the following:

Identity Migration:

• Coordinate migration of user identities from each operating company's on-premises Active Directory into the target identity environment.
• Partner with operating company IT teams to execute migration prerequisites and activities, including: Password synchronization, Agent/connector installation, Environment readiness validation, Migration wave support, Cutover and post-migration stabilization.
• Track migration readiness, progress, issues, dependencies, and risks across multiple operating companies.
• Support execution of user and group migration activities in alignment with the approved solution design.
• Troubleshoot and coordinate resolution of synchronization, connectivity, provisioning, and directory integration issues.
• Maintain migration documentation, runbooks, status reporting, and action trackers.

Endpoint Migration to Entra Cloud-Native Only

• Support the migration of user endpoints following identity migration to enable an Entra cloud-native-only operating model.
• Coordinate with endpoint engineering, workplace technology, security, and operating company support teams on device transition planning and execution.
• Assist with sequencing, pilot planning, deployment readiness, and rollback considerations.
• Support activities related to cloud-native enrollment, authentication changes, policy alignment, and end-user transition.
• Identify and help resolve issues involving legacy domain dependencies, access models, device registration, and user experience impacts.

Application Remediation:

• Work with application owners, infrastructure teams, and support teams to identify applications with dependencies on legacy AD, LDAP, or on-premises authentication.
• Assess the impact of identity and endpoint migration on business applications.
• Coordinate remediation planning, testing, and implementation activities required to align applications to the target environment.
• Track remediation status, unresolved issues, and blockers that could impact migration timelines.
• Support efforts to reduce business disruption by ensuring dependencies are identified and addressed ahead of migration milestones.

Program Delivery and Stakeholder Coordination:

• Serve as a liaison between central program leadership and operating company teams.
• Drive consistent execution across a decentralized environment with differing levels of technical maturity and local ownership.
• Facilitate working sessions, migration planning meetings, issue triage calls, and stakeholder updates.
• Communicate status, key decisions, risks, dependencies, and open actions clearly and professionally.
• Ensure project and technical documentation remains current and actionable for delivery teams and leadership stakeholders.

Requirements:
