10/SM - Microsoft Fabric Migration Lead (Power BI Premium P1 -> Fabric)

Profile description: Microsoft Fabric Migration Lead (Power BI Premium P1 -> Fabric)

Developer profile: We’re looking for a hands-on specialist to lead our migration from Power BI Premium per capacity (P1/P-SKUs) to Microsoft Fabric (F-SKUs), ensuring continuity of service while modernizing our data estate.

Responsibilities:

• Audit existing Power BI workspaces, datasets, dataflows, and security models; identify stale assets and dependencies.

• Plan capacity and licensing by modeling the move from P1 fixed-cost to Fabric consumption pricing; deliver cost/benefit analysis (e.g., F64+ vs lower SKU + Pro licenses).

• Execute the migration (manual or automated via REST APIs) with minimal downtime for business-critical reporting and refresh schedules.

• Redesign architecture and governance in Fabric (e.g., OneLake + Medallion (Bronze/Silver/Gold), Purview).

• Enable internal teams through training and establish CI/CD DevOps pipelines for the new Fabric environment.

Requirements:

• Proven experience migrating enterprise Power BI Premium capacities (P1 and above) to Microsoft Fabric (F-SKUs).

• Strong Fabric architecture knowledge: OneLake, Data Factory, Synapse Data Engineering, and Fabric vs legacy Power BI.

• Deep expertise in Fabric licensing/FinOps, including the F64 free-viewer threshold, and cost control (reserved instances vs pay-as-you-go).

• Technical proficiency: SQL, DAX, Power Query, and PySpark/Spark SQL.

• Governance experience translating RLS and sensitivity labels into Fabric’s unified security model.

If this sounds like you, kindly apply below...

Requirements

Nice-to-Have:

• Automation tooling: PowerShell, Fabric REST APIs, Semantic Link Labs.

• Certifications: DP-600, DP-700.
