At EY, we’re all in to shape your future with confidence.
We’ll help you succeed in a globally connected powerhouse of diverse teams and take your career wherever you want it to go. Join EY and help to build a better working world.
EY advises clients on how to architect, migrate, and modernize their digital workplace using Microsoft 365 and the Power Platform. Our work spans strategy and technical architecture, solution delivery, and technical advisory services, with a strong emphasis on SharePoint modernization, large-scale content and workload migrations, and adoption of the Power Platform.
Role summary
In this role, you will lead and deliver enterprise SharePoint Server (on-premises) to Microsoft 365 migrations and build modern SharePoint Online intranets. You will shape target information architecture, migration waves, and modernization approaches (including workflow/forms modernization to Power Platform), and you will partner closely with client stakeholders to deliver secure, scalable, and supportable solutions.
As a senior consultant, you will bring deep experience across SharePoint Server, SharePoint Online, and Microsoft 365 administration (including Entra ID, Teams, and OneDrive). You will lead and participate in full project lifecycles—discovery, assessment, target-state design, build/configuration, testing, migration execution, and deployment—and you will contribute to high-quality client outcomes through solution blueprints, design reviews, and cross-workstream collaboration.
As an M365 SharePoint Engineer, you will have in-depth knowledge of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management which enable you lead and participate in enterprise solution implementations, including all project phases such as discovery, definition, build, test and deploy. You will be an integral part of the delivery team to ensure the solutions built for our clients meet their needs to help drive their success through various methods such as solution blueprints, design reviews and cross-workstream collaborations to provide a total solution.
You will focus on the design, customization and optimization of digital workplace solutions, particularly with Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Teams, and Power Platform.

You will collaborate with internal EY teams and client stakeholders to shape and deliver complex enterprise engagements, balancing user experience, governance, and security/compliance requirements.
- Assess & plan migrations: run discovery/inventory, define migration scope and waves, estimate effort/complexity, and establish cutover and hypercare plans.
- Design the target intranet: define information architecture, hub/site strategy, navigation, search approach, metadata/content types, and permissions model.
- Execute migrations: configure and operate Microsoft and third-party migration tooling, manage pilots, remediate issues, and drive successful cutovers.
- Modernize solutions: map legacy workflows/forms (e.g., SharePoint Designer/InfoPath/Nintex/K2) to Power Automate and Power Apps patterns where appropriate.
- Enable operations & governance: establish standards, provisioning/lifecycle controls, and operational reporting (including SharePoint Advanced Management where applicable).
- Lead stakeholders: run workshops, produce client-ready deliverables, and communicate risks, tradeoffs, and decisions clearly to technical and business audiences.
Your experience with enterprise tenant-to-tenant migrations (M&A, divestitures, consolidations) and on-premises to cloud migrations will be critical to success in this role.
Skills and attributes for success
- Delivering work across project phases (discovery, requirements, design, build, test, migration/cutover, and post-migration stabilization) with strong project governance and risk management.
- Creating client-ready deliverables (assessments, target-state architectures, migration plans, runbooks, and executive communications) and contributing to reusable assets and accelerators.
- Applying broad technical depth across SharePoint Server/Online, Microsoft 365 identity and collaboration services, and the Power Platform to solve real client problems.
- Working effectively with client technologists and strategic partners/vendors to deliver an integrated solution.
- Building trusted relationships with stakeholders through clear communication, practical recommendations, and reliable delivery.
- Communicating effectively with client executives, product owners, business stakeholders, and engineering teams; translating requirements into actionable designs and plans.
- Interacting and communicating effectively with teammates, clients, stakeholders, and executives.

- Experience with at least one major migration toolset (e.g., Microsoft Migration Manager, ShareGate, AvePoint, Quest, or similar).
- Experience implementing modern SharePoint Online intranets (IA, hubs, navigation, search, metadata, and permissions).
- Working knowledge of the Power Platform (Power Apps and Power Automate), especially for forms/workflow modernization patterns.
- Strong stakeholder management and communication skills; ability to lead workshops and present recommendations to technical and executive audiences.
- Experience delivering in regulated or security-conscious environments, incorporating identity, governance, and compliance requirements into designs.
- Prior enterprise consulting experience (client-facing delivery).
To qualify for the role, you must have

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship in AI Solution Architect
Map your role to the right SOC code
AI Solution Architects often get filed under multiple SOC codes depending on whether the role skews toward software development or systems architecture. Confirm with your employer which code they plan to use before the LCA is filed, as it determines your prevailing wage level.
Verify your employer's E-Verify enrollment early
USCIS requires all H-1B petitioning employers to be E-Verify enrolled. Some smaller AI consultancies and startups are not. Confirm enrollment before you invest time in an offer process so you don't face a last-minute filing block.
Use Migrate Mate to find verified H-1B sponsors
Search Migrate Mate to identify employers with active LCA filing history for AI and solution architecture roles. Filtering by DOL filing data surfaces companies that have actually sponsored this job title, not just listed it as a possibility.
Document the specialty occupation connection in your offer letter
USCIS scrutinizes AI roles because job duties vary widely across employers. Ask hiring managers to specify degree requirements and technical responsibilities in writing so your I-129 petition clearly demonstrates the role requires a bachelor's degree in a directly related field.
Check prevailing wage levels using OFLC Wage Search
Your employer must certify on the LCA that your offered salary meets the DOL prevailing wage for your SOC code and work location. Run the OFLC Wage Search yourself before negotiating so you know the minimum level before the offer is finalized.
Understand the 60-day portability window if you're transferring
If you're moving from another H-1B employer, your new employer must file a transfer petition before your current employment ends. You can start working for the new employer once the petition is received by USCIS, not after approval.
H-1B Visa AI Solution Architect: Frequently Asked Questions
Does an AI Solution Architect role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes, provided the position requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific technical field such as computer science, electrical engineering, or information systems. Roles that accept any degree, or frame the degree as preferred rather than required, can face an RFE from USCIS. The job description and offer letter need to spell out the direct degree-to-role connection explicitly.
Which employers typically sponsor H-1B visas for AI Solution Architect positions?
Employers with active LCA filings for AI and architecture-related SOC codes include large technology companies, cloud platform providers, and enterprise software consultancies. You can filter for employers with verified H-1B filing history for this title on Migrate Mate, which pulls directly from DOL Labor Condition Application data rather than self-reported sponsorship claims.
How does the H-1B cap affect my timeline as an AI Solution Architect?
Most private-sector employers are subject to the 85,000-slot annual cap, which includes 20,000 slots reserved for U.S. master's degree holders. USCIS runs the lottery in March for petitions that take effect October 1. If you're not selected, cap-exempt employers such as universities and certain nonprofit research institutions can file outside the lottery cycle.
Can I transfer my H-1B to a new employer if I change AI Solution Architect roles?
Yes. H-1B portability lets you start working for a new employer as soon as they file a transfer petition, as long as you're in a valid period of authorized stay and the petition is non-frivolous. You don't need to wait for approval. Your new employer files a fresh I-129 with a new LCA certified for the new position, location, and wage level.
What happens if my AI Solution Architect role is reclassified or my duties change significantly?
Material changes to your job title, duties, salary, or work location can require your employer to file an amended H-1B petition with USCIS before the change takes effect. A shift from solution architecture to a management-only role, for example, could affect the specialty occupation determination. Your employer's immigration counsel should review any significant job changes before they're implemented.
