About the Opportunity
\n
Our client, a publicly traded leader in the financial and tax planning space, is modernizing its Microsoft 365 environment. They are looking for a senior consultant to architect and implement SharePoint solutions, with a focus on a new intranet and departmental/hub-site structures. The consultant will lead architecture and governance while working hands-on alongside the internal technical team and leaving them able to run the environment themselves.
\n
This is a consulting and architecture role. It is not a SharePoint administrator or pure developer position.
\n
\n
Responsibilities
\n
- \n
- Lead requirements-gathering sessions with business stakeholders and translate their needs into a clear SharePoint/M365 architecture
- Design and implement the intranet, hub-site structure, and departmental sites
- Define information architecture, navigation, content types, metadata, and permissions models
- Establish governance: site provisioning, ownership, lifecycle, sharing policies, and naming standards
- Work hands-on with the technical team on build, configuration, and rollout
- Explain and document architectural decisions to technical and non-technical audiences
- Transfer knowledge through documentation, working sessions, and coaching so the internal team can sustain the platform
- Contribute to the project plan, roadmap, and phased delivery approach
