• Support and enhance SharePoint Online administration, including site provisioning workflows and automation (including logic app automation).
• Build and maintain SharePoint structures (sites, libraries, permissions models) and automate lifecycle activities where appropriate.
• Develop solutions leveraging Microsoft Graph/Power Automate where appropriate to improve operational scale and end-user outcomes.
Identity & Access (Entra ID + Okta)
• Configure and support Entra ID (Azure AD) identity services, including identity governance patterns and secure access configuration.
• Support Okta administration and lifecycle management efforts, including MFA strategies and operational best practices.
Documentation & Operational Excellence
• Produce clear technical documentation for automation, configurations, and standard operating procedures; ensure solutions are supportable by the broader team.
• Participate in operational improvement initiatives focused on standardization, automation, and scalability.

Education and Experience:

• Skilled in administering Microsoft 365 and SharePoint Online environments.
• Ability to design scalable, reliable, and maintainable cloud solutions.
• Ability to automate manual processes and develop reusable operational workflows.
• Skilled in designing and implementing automation using Azure Logic Apps, Functions, and Power Automate.
• Skilled in scripting with PowerShell (and Python) for provisioning and operational processes.
• Knowledge of APIs, authentication methods, and integration solutions.
• Knowledge of techniques for troubleshooting complex cloud and SaaS issues and performing root-cause analysis.
• Knowledge of identity and access management concepts, including Entra ID (Azure AD) and Okta.
• Ability to collaborate with infrastructure, security, and vendor teams.
