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
