· Configure and administer Microsoft Teams and SharePoint Online, including site creation, permissions, privacy settings, external sharing controls, and storage management.

· Administer identity and access management configurations, including user accounts, groups, roles, licensing, and conditional access policies.

· Implement and maintain M365 policies related to collaboration, data sharing, retention, and usage in alignment with organizational needs.

· Troubleshoot and resolve issues across M365 services, acting as a senior escalation point for complex platform-related problems.

· Assess and clean up existing M365 configuration sprawl, including unused Teams, SharePoint sites, permissions inconsistencies, and legacy configurations.

· Apply Microsoft documentation and best-practice guidance to real-world scenarios, balancing security, usability, and operational efficiency.

· Support ongoing improvements to M365 governance, documentation, and operational processes.

· Collaborate with internal IT stakeholders and business users to understand requirements and provide practical, effective solutions.

· Maintain clear documentation of configurations, processes, and changes to support operational continuity.

Qualifications

· Proven, hands-on experience administering Microsoft 365 in a production environment, with deep knowledge of Entra ID (Azure AD), Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, OneDrive, and Microsoft Teams.

· Experience managing M365 tenant configuration, governance, permissions, and lifecycle management.

· Strong understanding of identity and access management concepts, including authentication, authorization, roles, groups, and policy-based access controls.

· Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot complex M365 issues and remediate configuration issues in existing environments.

· Ability to independently interpret Microsoft documentation and apply recommended practices pragmatically.

· Detail-oriented, execution-focused mindset with the ability to work autonomously in a contract role.
