- Identify and escalate stalled or failed agents to the remote migration architect for resolution.
- Validate that workstations are successfully joined to the target Active Directory and Microsoft 365 tenant following migration.

- Assist users experiencing login issues or access problems following migration to the new tenant.
- Confirm basic post-migration functionality: sign-in, mail flow, Teams, OneDrive, and SharePoint access.
- Provide a calm, reassuring presence during cutover events to minimize user anxiety and downtime.

- Identify, document, and escalate issues promptly to the remote migration architect.
- Coordinate with local site contacts to ensure smooth floor logistics and access.
- Report daily progress, issues, and resolutions to the migration lead.

- Comfort navigating Microsoft 365 services at a user support level – Outlook, OneDrive, Teams, SharePoint, and Intune-managed devices.
