*Create draft cutover, rollback, and testing plans aligned with timelines.
*Assist in preparing Azure cost estimates and infrastructure sizing using Azure TCO tools and pricing calculators.
*Coordinate with architects and engineers to build detailed, execution-ready migration documentation.

Delivery Support & Collaboration
*Engage in ongoing collaboration with the broader Solutions and Delivery teams to ensure cross-functional alignment.
*Participate in client-facing working sessions, technical deep-dives, and risk mitigation discussions.
*Provide input to the development of Migration Plans, Roadmaps, and stakeholder presentations.

*Strong understanding of migration strategies (Rehost, Refactor, Rearchitect) and hybrid environments.
*Hands-on experience conducting technical assessments, dependency analysis, and performance diagnostics for complex systems.
*Familiarity with Azure Landing Zones, resource group strategies, and Well-Architected Framework principles.
*Excellent documentation and client communication skills; ability to contribute to technical artifacts and working sessions.
