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
