You will be the Microsoft expert behind Managed 365, reporting to our Network & Security Manager. You will deliver, support and improve every part of the catalogue, take SharePoint, Teams and OneDrive governance through to the end, and make sure every client under a Managed 365 contract has the security controls in place to deliver outcomes such as the ACSC Essential Eight and NIST CSF 2.0. You will assess each client's Microsoft tenant, recommend how to improve its maturity, scope the work with evidence, and lead the deployment once the client approves. You will work alongside our Client Principal to help clients move up the Managed 365 tiers, and spend scheduled days on site at key Perth clients.

Help our Client Principal grow Managed 365 with the technical case for upgrades and new implementations

Apply Microsoft Purview data protection (data loss prevention, sensitivity labels, retention and audit), and set up, check and restore Microsoft 365 backup





Get clients ready for Microsoft 365 Copilot, from oversharing clean-up to user training

Work through hard Microsoft questions with the service desk and project team, teach them as you go, and write the runbooks with a trained backup for each service
