Platform Ownership & Governance

• Lead tenant-level administration for Dynamics 365, Power Platform, and Microsoft 365 with a strong emphasis on SharePoint Online governance, information architecture, and compliance.
• Define and implement environment strategy (e.g., Dev/Test/Prod), ALM (solutions, pipelines), naming standards, and DLP policies for Power Platform and SharePoint.
• Establish and manage Center of Excellence (CoE) practices (usage insights, maker onboarding, guardrails, app risk scoring, analytics).
• Partner with Security/Compliance to implement role-based access control (RBAC), least-privilege models, Conditional Access, sensitivity/retention labels, eDiscovery, and records management.

Dynamics 365 & Dataverse Administration

• Administer Dynamics 365 (e.g., Sales, Customer Service, Field Service, Marketing, or Finance/SCM) and Dataverse: solutions, security roles, business units, auditing, plug-in/service principals coordination.
• Coordinate application lifecycle (managed/unmanaged solutions), release schedules, hotfixes, and regression readiness; ensure non-prod parity and backup/restore procedures.
• Monitor performance and capacity (API limits, request rates, storage), optimize environments, and manage integrations.

Power Platform Administration

• Govern Power Apps, Power Automate, and Power Pages: environment policies, connectors strategy (standard vs. premium), data loss prevention, licensing optimization, and usage analytics.
• Manage automated deployments (ALM pipelines) and oversee solution-aware flows and connection references.
• Run the maker program: standards, guardrails, solution reviews, and escalation pathways.
• Administer Power BI tenant settings in coordination with BI governance (if within scope).

SharePoint Online (Important)

• SharePoint Online administration: tenant settings, site provisioning, hub site architecture, content types, managed metadata, search, and permission models aligned to least privilege.
• Design and maintain information architecture (navigation, hub/spoke models, taxonomy) to optimize findability, lifecycle, and governance.
• Drive migration and consolidation projects (SPMT, Migration Manager, Mover, third-party tools), validate content mappings, and ensure post-migration remediation.
• Implement and maintain SharePoint Premium/Syntex (if applicable): document understanding, content processing, and advanced governance scenarios.
• Provide standards and patterns for Teams-connected SharePoint sites and lifecycle automation (PnP/CLI for Microsoft 365, site templates, provisioning).
• Oversee search schema, query rules, result sources, and modern web part/content experiences.

Integration, Security & Compliance

• Coordinate integrations across Azure services (Azure AD/Entra ID, Key Vault, Service Bus, Logic Apps, Functions, API Management), Microsoft Graph, and approved third-party platforms.
• Ensure end-to-end security and compliance: Conditional Access, MFA, privileged identity management (PIM), audit logging, and incident response playbooks.
• Partner with InfoSec/Compliance on Purview policies, Data Lifecycle, and DLP enforcement across Power Platform, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, and Exchange.

Operations, SRE & Support

• Establish monitoring and observability (Admin Centers, CoE dashboards, Azure Monitor, message center), and drive proactive maintenance and capacity planning.
• Define backup/restore, DR/BCP procedures for Dataverse/Power Platform/SharePoint content and configurations.
• Lead problem management (root-cause analysis), change management (ITIL), release cadence, and stakeholder communications.
• Provide Tier-3 escalation support and mentor administrators and citizen developers.

Collaboration & Enablement

• Partner with Teams, OneDrive, Exchange/Viva owners to deliver cohesive collaboration experiences.
• Create documentation, runbooks, and knowledge base articles; deliver enablement workshops for admins, makers, and business stakeholders.
• Contribute to roadmaps, platform assessments, license planning, and budget forecasts.

• 5+ years hands-on administration with Dynamics 365 and Power Platform (tenant admin, environment strategy, ALM, DLP, CoE, Dataverse).
• Hands-on SharePoint Online administration experience (tenant settings, site provisioning/architecture, permissions, taxonomy, search, migration, and governance).
• Strong experience across Microsoft 365 services—especially SharePoint (priority), plus Teams, OneDrive, Exchange Online, and Entra ID (Azure AD).
• Practical expertise with ALM for Power Platform/Dynamics (managed solutions, pipelines, connection references, deployment automation).
• Proficient with PowerShell, CLI for Microsoft 365, PnP PowerShell, Admin Connectors, and automation scripting.
• Demonstrated knowledge of security/compliance: DLP, sensitivity/retention labels, eDiscovery, records management, audit.

• Proven ITIL change, incident, and problem management experience; strong documentation and communication skills.
