About the Role

Design the migration-specific architecture that enables the programme to execute, translating discovery and pilot learnings into migration blueprints, integration designs, and repeatable runbooks. This role requires a practitioner-architect with deep understanding of Apple enterprise migration constraints and production experience in designing Apple/macOS migration architecture.

Responsibilities

  • Design the Apple/macOS tenant-to-tenant migration architecture for the programme, ensuring it is practical for pilot, scale and factory execution.
  • Define how IRU will be used within the migration lifecycle, including discovery inputs, migration sequencing, user/device state handling, exception treatment, reporting and operational handoff.
  • Design the migration integration model across Apple Business Manager, ADE, IRU, Platform SSO, Microsoft Entra ID, Conditional Access, compliance controls and endpoint management tooling.
  • Define migration-specific ADE patterns including device assignment flow, enrolment profile considerations, supervision assumptions, re-enrolment/re-provisioning paths and validation checkpoints.
  • Develop Platform SSO migration patterns covering user onboarding, identity registration, local account behaviour, authentication resilience and user experience during tenant transition.
  • Define migration considerations for Secure Token, Bootstrap Token, FileVault recovery key escrow/rotation, certificates, SCEP/PKI dependencies and device trust.
  • Identify macOS configuration profile risks that may affect migration, including PPPC, System Extensions, Network Extensions, Login Items, certificates, security baselines and application controls.
  • Define migration readiness, go/no-go, validation and rollback criteria for Apple/macOS cohorts, including VIP, developer, remote, shared and high-risk device personas.
  • Produce migration architecture artefacts including HLDs, LLDs, migration integration designs, architecture decision records, runbooks, validation templates and known-issue patterns.
  • Support pilots, migration rehearsals and cutover readiness reviews, incorporating lessons learned into updated migration patterns without assuming ownership of the long-term customer platform.
  • Provide technical guidance to Scale and Factory teams where migration design, integration behaviour or Apple-specific constraints require architectural interpretation.
  • Work with programme architecture, identity, security, endpoint, application and service transition teams to ensure Apple/macOS migration dependencies are understood, sequenced and evidenced.

Requirements

  • Production experience designing Apple/macOS migration architecture for Microsoft 365 tenant-to-tenant or directly comparable enterprise tenant transition programmes.
  • Deep practical understanding of IRU or equivalent Apple/macOS migration tooling, including how tooling is integrated into discovery, migration execution, validation and operational reporting.
  • Strong Apple Business Manager and ADE knowledge in migration contexts, including assignment flows, enrolment profile behaviour, supervision, device lifecycle constraints and re-provisioning implications.
  • Strong Platform SSO knowledge, including Microsoft Entra integration, local account behaviour, authentication flows and user experience impacts during migration.
  • Strong understanding of macOS security and identity dependencies relevant to migration: Secure Token, Bootstrap Token, FileVault, recovery key escrow, certificates, SCEP/PKI, Conditional Access and compliance evaluation.
  • Experience identifying and designing around migration blockers created by configuration profiles, PPPC, System Extensions, Network Extensions, Login Items, security tools and application controls.
  • Ability to design repeatable migration patterns for varied Mac personas such as executives, developers, remote workers, shared devices and high-risk application users.
  • Proven ability to produce clear migration architecture artefacts: HLDs, LLDs, decision records, runbooks, readiness gates, validation criteria and exception patterns.
  • Strong stakeholder engagement with architecture, security, identity, endpoint engineering, service transition and delivery teams in a complex migration programme.
