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
