## Job description

Magna Legal Services is a trusted nationwide partner to law firms, corporations, insurance carriers, and government agencies, delivering comprehensive legal support at every stage of a case. From court reporting and record retrieval to jury consulting, investigations, litigation graphics, and language services, we help our clients navigate complex legal challenges with confidence. Our reputation is built on the expertise, dedication, and professionalism of our team, and we’re proud to foster a culture where talented people can do meaningful work and grow their careers.

Position overview

You'll be accountable for the availability, security, and usefulness of Magna's IT systems, with Microsoft 365 at the center. That means owning the platform's strategy and roadmap, making sure it's secure and well governed, and making sure our people actually get value from it — not just that it's switched on.

You'll partner with operations leadership to understand what the business needs, work with the VP of IT and Technology leadership to set priorities and policies, and coordinate with our Information Security Officer on data security and resiliency. You'll also oversee the Azure and infrastructure environments behind Microsoft 365 and our business-critical applications, and manage the vendors and partners we rely on.

You'll lead a geographically distributed IT team, and a big part of your job is raising the level of the whole organization — developing your people, standardizing how we work, and leading by example.

Primary Responsibilities

- Own the strategy, roadmap, and day-to-day operation of Microsoft 365 — Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, and other Applications — along with identity, security, and device management
- Oversee the Azure cloud and core infrastructure that support Microsoft 365 and business-critical applications, working with our systems and cloud engineers
- Partner with operations leadership to turn business needs into practical, cost-effective solutions
- Work with the VP of IT and technology leadership to set priorities, policies, and standard operating procedures
- Coordinate with the Information Security Officer to keep data secure and systems resilient
- Manage relationships with IT vendors and partners, including Microsoft and managed service providers
- Look for ways to add value, improve efficiency, and cut costs — including Microsoft 365 licensing and adoption
- Develop and coach your team, and build standardized, documented, cross-trained ways of working
- Keep end-user and technology support consistent across headquarters and our business units
- Maintain accurate inventories of IT assets and licenses, and monitor compliance with regulatory and contractual requirements
- Establish and maintain our disaster recovery and business continuity program for your areas of responsibility

- Deep knowledge of the Microsoft stack — SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, Power BI, and Office desktop and mobile applications
- Experience supporting Microsoft 365 users in a distributed, highly mobile business

- A proven ability to translate business requirements into solution strategies in partnership with senior business leaders
- Outstanding written and verbal communication, and a collaborative style with peer IT leaders
