About the role

We are looking for a versatile and experienced Microsoft 365 Administrator & EUC Technician to manage, optimize, and secure our organization's M365 environment while providing hands-on, on-site end-user computing support. This is a dual-focus role: you will serve as the subject matter expert (SME) for all M365 services — ensuring platform reliability, security compliance, and seamless collaboration tools — while also being the go-to on-site resource for desktop support, device lifecycle management, and end-user assistance. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable configuring Conditional Access policies and swapping out a failed hard drive, bridging the gap between cloud administration and day-to-day IT operations.

Your future duties and responsibilities

Microsoft 365 Platform Management

. Act as one of the go-to SMEs for the M365 tenant, providing deep technical expertise across Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, Teams, OneDrive, and Intune.
. Actively contribute to the governance of user accounts, licenses, security groups, and distribution lists in Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), ensuring alignment with organizational policies and best practices.
. Contribute on demand to the design, configuration, and continuous improvement of M365 applications, policies, and service settings to meet evolving business requirements.
. Monitor service health on demand, evaluate Message Center updates for organizational impact, and drive change communication with stakeholders.

Security & Compliance

. Actively contributes to the design and enforcement of Conditional Access policies, MFA, and Zero Trust security principles.
. Act as one of the go-to SMEs for Microsoft Defender for Office 365, including anti-phishing, anti-malware, and Safe Links/Attachments policies.
. Actively contribute to the configuration and ongoing improvement of Microsoft Purview compliance features including Data Loss Prevention (DLP), retention policies, and eDiscovery.
. Review security alerts on demand, investigate incidents, and collaborate on remediation of vulnerabilities across the M365 environment.
. Participate in ensuring adherence to regulatory requirements (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2) as they relate to M365 services.

Identity & Access Management

. Actively contribute to the management of Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) including hybrid identity, SSO configurations, and application registrations.
. Participate in the governance of Privileged Identity Management (PIM) and help enforce least-privilege access controls.
. Configure and continuously improve Microsoft Intune on demand for endpoint management and mobile device/application management (MDM/MAM).

Collaboration & Communication

. Act as one of the go-to SMEs for Microsoft Teams, covering meeting policies, channels, external access, and Teams Phone/calling configurations.
. Actively contributes to the management and governance of SharePoint Online sites, permissions, content types, and sharing policies.
. Design and configure Exchange Online mail flow rules on demand, connectors, shared mailboxes, and email security settings.
. Participate in OneDrive and SharePoint governance, including sharing policies and data lifecycle management.

Automation & Reporting

. Design and maintain PowerShell scripts to automate routine tasks and bulk operations, sharing knowledge and best practices with the broader IT team.
. Build and continuously improve reports using the M365 Admin Center, Microsoft 365 Defender portal, and Power BI to support data-driven decision making.
. Contribute to automation and integration leveraging Microsoft Graph API where applicable.

Support & Project Delivery

. Serve as a key escalation resource for Tier 2/3 M365-related incidents and service requests, bringing SME-level knowledge to complex issues.
. Actively contribute to IT projects including M365 migrations, new service rollouts, and tenant-to-tenant migrations, providing technical guidance throughout.
. Contribute on demand to the creation and upkeep of technical documentation, runbooks, and end-user guides to build organizational knowledge.
. Participate in delivering end-user training and adoption support for M365 tools and features.

End-User Computing (EUC) & Desktop Support

. Provide on-site Tier 1/2 desktop support for hardware and software issues across Windows 10/11 workstations, laptops, and peripherals.
. Perform hardware lifecycle tasks including provisioning, imaging, configuration, and decommissioning of end-user devices using Windows Autopilot and Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT).
. Manage and troubleshoot device enrollment, compliance policies, and application deployment through Microsoft Intune.
. Install, configure, and maintain software applications, drivers, and OS updates on end-user devices.
. Diagnosing and resolving connectivity issues including Wi-Fi, VPN, wired networking, and printer/peripheral connectivity.
. Support meeting room technology including AV equipment, Teams Rooms devices, and video conferencing systems.

. Maintain accurate asset inventory records for all end-user hardware and software in the ITSM/CMDB system.
. Assist with onboarding and offboarding processes including workstation setup, account provisioning, and equipment collection.
