• Support the scoping of migration projects, helping define requirements and solution approach.
• Carry out discovery activities across AD DS and M365 environments.
• Contribute to the design, planning and delivery of migration solutions.
• Work across the full project lifecycle, from initial engagement through to delivery and handover.
• Support multiple projects simultaneously, ensuring timelines, quality and customer expectations are met.
• Collaborate with internal teams and stakeholders to support successful project delivery.

• A culture built on trust and belonging: set out clearly in our Culture Blueprint, lived day-to-day, and reflected in our consistently strong colleague feedback.

• Real investment in your development: structured learning pathways, funded industry certifications, mentoring, and the encouragement to stretch into new areas.

• A workplace that takes wellbeing seriously: from mental health support and flexible working to active employee networks and a leadership team that listens.

• A commitment to equity and inclusion: where we actively work to make Phoenix a brilliant place to build a career, whoever you are.

• Work that matters: supporting the public sector organisations that keep the UK running, from government and healthcare to defence, public safety, education, housing, and the charities serving the most vulnerable in our communities.

• Working with the best of the industry: alongside genuine experts, and with strategic partnerships across the world's leading technology providers, you'll be at the front of the conversations shaping how UK public services modernise.

We believe in encouraging, supporting, and skilling our people up so that you can be the very best you can be at work - and we'd love you to consider being part of it.
