Job Description
Technical Program Manager — M365 to Google Workspace Migration
- Outside IR35: £500 – £600 per day
- Duration: 12–18 Month Contract
- Hybrid: London
Company & role for Technical Program Manager — M365 to Google Workspace Migration:
Our client is one of the UK's most established and widely recognised media publishing groups, with a portfolio of major national brands reaching tens of millions of readers across print, digital and social.
Their technology division is now embarking on a flagship, business-critical transformation programme - and they need an experienced Technical Program Manager to own it from end to end.
This is a high-visibility, high-accountability contract. You'll be leading a large-scale enterprise migration from Microsoft 365 to Google Workspace across a complex, multi-brand environment - working directly with the CTO and Delivery Director, managing third-party vendors and driving a programme that touches every corner of the business. If you've done this before at scale and want a meaty 12–18 month engagement, this is the one.
What you'll be delivering as Technical Program Manager:
- Own and lead the full lifecycle of the M365 → Google Workspace migration - strategy, roadmap, phased rollout, cutover and hypercare.
- Manage multiple concurrent workstreams including email, calendar and contacts migration, file migration (SharePoint/OneDrive → Google Drive), identity and access integration, endpoint readiness and security and compliance alignment.
- Coordinate third-party vendors and migration partners, holding them to delivery standards and managing dependencies across the programme.
- Drive cutover planning, testing and hypercare - ensuring minimal disruption to business operations across a multi-brand, enterprise environment.
- Deliver executive-level reporting and governance to CTO and senior stakeholders, translating technical progress into clear, decision-ready insight.
- Support change management and user adoption activities across marketing, advertising, editorial and IT teams.
What you'll bring as Technical Program Manager:
- Proven, hands-on experience delivering large-scale M365 → Google Workspace migrations in an enterprise environment - this is non-negotiable. You need to have done this before.
- Strong understanding of email, file and collaboration migration tools, coexistence strategies and cutover planning at scale.
- Experience managing complex, multi-workstream programmes across matrix organisations - confident at both delivery and architectural levels.
- Solid knowledge of identity management, security, compliance and governance requirements within enterprise migration programmes.
- Strong vendor management experience - able to hold third-party partners accountable without losing the relationship.
- A clear outcomes focus - you don't stop at blockers, you define the way through them. Self-starting, organised and confident engaging at C-suite level.
The contract details:
- Status - Outside IR35.
- Day rate: £500 – £600 depending on experience.
- Duration: 12–18 months - a substantial, stable engagement with genuine programme depth.
- Location: London - Hybrid.
- Working directly with the Delivery Director and CTO - high visibility from day one.
- If you've led an M365 to Google Workspace migration at enterprise scale and you're looking for a well-scoped, outside IR35 contract with genuine substance, we'd love to hear from you.
