- Architect and administer Microsoft Entra ID, Conditional Access, identity governance, privileged access controls, and identity lifecycle standards.
- Own Intune and Windows Autopilot architecture, compliance policies, configuration profiles, application deployment standards, and endpoint-management governance.
- Improve endpoint lifecycle, security posture, reporting, provisioning reliability, and operational consistency.

Collaboration and information management:

- Assume long-term technical ownership of SharePoint Online after the initial consulting engagement.
- Implement and maintain SharePoint governance, permissions, site lifecycle, ownership, and information architecture standards.
- Support Microsoft Teams, Exchange Online, OneDrive, Purview, retention, and collaboration governance.

Cloud resilience, backup, and recovery:

- Define and maintain recovery architecture for Microsoft 365 and related cloud services, including Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, OneDrive, Teams, Entra ID, Intune, and applicable Azure-hosted workloads.
- Evaluate, implement, and govern third-party backup and recovery platforms for Microsoft cloud services.
- Document Microsoft, vendor, and internal recovery responsibilities, service dependencies, recovery procedures, and escalation paths.
- Establish and maintain recovery runbooks, service-recovery requirements, restore procedures, and evidence of recovery readiness.
- Plan and execute recurring restore tests and participate in broader disaster-recovery and business-continuity exercises.
- Partner with the Senior Security and Network Engineer, system owners, vendors, and IT leadership to validate end-to-end recovery capabilities.
- Identify recovery gaps and recommend technical, procedural, or vendor changes to improve resilience.

Security, automation, and modernization:

- Partner with the Senior Security and Network Engineer on Microsoft Defender, identity security, audit remediation, and Zero Trust initiatives.
- Develop PowerShell, Microsoft Graph, and workflow automation that reduces manual administration and repetitive support work.
- Evaluate and govern Power Platform, Microsoft Copilot, and emerging Microsoft cloud capabilities.
- Support secure and supportable integration patterns across Microsoft cloud services and business platforms.

Mentorship and operational partnership:

- Mentor the Junior Cloud Engineer and assist the VP, Information Systems in establishing a practical development path.
- Provide technical guidance to the Service Desk and improve escalation procedures, troubleshooting documentation, and knowledge articles.
- Coordinate with business stakeholders, consultants, vendors, and IT leadership on cloud projects, priorities, service changes, and recovery requirements.
- Create and maintain clear SOPs, architecture decisions, runbooks, and operating documentation as part of normal delivery.

Qualifications: Required:

- Five or more years of progressively responsible Microsoft 365 administration and engineering experience, including senior-level design, implementation, and troubleshooting.

- Working knowledge of recovery point objectives, recovery time objectives, service dependencies, restore validation, and recovery-testing evidence.
- Relevant Microsoft certifications such as Azure Administrator, Identity and Access Administrator, Endpoint Administrator, or Azure Solutions Architect.
