About the Role

We're looking for a SharePoint & Microsoft 365 Automation Specialist to design and implement intelligent workflows, information architecture, and AI-enabled automation across the Microsoft 365 ecosystem, with strong emphasis on Copilot and Microsoft Purview. You'll be the person who turns SharePoint from a static document repository into a well-governed, automated, AI-augmented workspace. If you can architect information governance and build Copilot-powered automation with equal confidence, this role is built for that.

What You'll Do

Design, build, and maintain SharePoint sites, document libraries, and information architecture

Implement Microsoft 365 automation using Power Automate, Power Platform, and related tools

Configure and optimize Microsoft Copilot capabilities across SharePoint and the broader M365 environment

Implement data governance, information protection, and compliance controls using Microsoft Purview

Design and enforce data classification, retention, and sensitivity labeling policies

Build automated workflows that reduce manual effort across business processes

Troubleshoot and resolve issues across SharePoint, M365 automation, and Purview configurations

Collaborate with business stakeholders to identify automation opportunities and translate them into technical solutions

Maintain documentation for architecture, automation workflows, and governance policies

Stay current on Microsoft 365, Copilot, and Purview feature updates and best practices

What You Bring

Strong hands-on experience with SharePoint architecture, administration, and site design

Experience with Microsoft 365 automation tools, including Power Automate and the Power Platform

Hands-on experience configuring and deploying Microsoft Copilot within M365 environments

Strong experience with Microsoft Purview, including data governance, compliance, and information protection

Understanding of data classification, retention policies, and sensitivity labeling

Ability to translate business process needs into automated, governed technical solutions

Strong troubleshooting skills across the Microsoft 365 ecosystem

Solid communication skills for collaborating with both technical and business stakeholders

Nice to Have

Microsoft certifications (e.g., Microsoft 365 Certified: Administrator Expert, SC-400, PL-200)

Experience with SharePoint Framework (SPFx) development

Experience with Microsoft Graph API for custom integrations

Background supporting regulated industries with compliance-heavy requirements

Why This Role

End-to-end ownership: Own architecture, automation, and governance across the M365 ecosystem, not a single narrow tool

Cutting-edge focus: Work hands-on with Copilot, one of the newest and fastest-evolving parts of the Microsoft stack

Governance depth: Real responsibility for data protection and compliance through Purview, not just automation for its own sake

Flexibility: Remote-friendly engagement structure
