Google Workspace Migration Consultant

We are seeking a hands-on Google Workspace Migration Specialist to ensure the underlying network does not delay or disrupt Microsoft 365 to Google Workspace migration.

The successful candidate will directly drive three core business outcomes: ensuring a blocker-free technical environment, delivering an exceptional user migration experience, and building internal capability to manage the platform post-launch.

Key Responsibilities & Outcomes

Technical Readiness & Infrastructure

• Firewall readiness: implement the Firewall configuration changes required for Google Workspace.
• Network validation: validate network/Firewall rules and remediate gaps or conflicts.
• Identity readiness: configure network-dependent identity controls such as IP allow-listing and conditional-access locations.
• Successful mail cutover: support DNS/MX changes and validate mail flow between the Microsoft and Google environments.
• Security & compliance: ensure network changes comply with Fifty5Blue security policies and regulatory requirements.
• Separation alignment: coordinate network changes with the wider Fifty5Blue Separation programme and obtain required sign-offs.
• Successful UAT/go-live: diagnose and resolve network connectivity issues during testing and migration.
• Documented environment: provide an auditable record of network and Firewall changes and support knowledge transfer.
• Controlled cutover: support network change freezes during migration/cutover windows.
• Wider network engineering: provide routing, switching, VPN, load balancing and segmentation expertise where required.

To ensure users can successfully move to and operate on Google Workspace while Fifty5Blue builds its permanent support capability.

• Effective 2nd/3rd-line support for Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Docs and Meet.
• Successful onboarding of users during each migration wave.
• User adoption: hands-on support for employees unfamiliar with Google Workspace and resolution of adoption/friction issues.

• Technical escalation: manage complex issues through to the migration technical team.
• Knowledge base: document recurring issues and FAQs.
• Knowledge transfer: prepare Fifty5Blue's permanent Google Workspace support team to take over.
• Migration-wave support: maintain sufficient, professional support during peak migration periods.
