About the role

We are looking for an experienced SharePoint Administrator to support an established Microsoft 365 environment and assist with ongoing SharePoint projects.

This is a hands-on position for someone who already has practical experience administering SharePoint Online and Microsoft 365. You should be comfortable managing day-to-day administration, resolving issues and making configuration changes without needing extensive training.

You will work alongside the project team, taking responsibility for assigned tasks and ensuring they are completed properly and on time.

Key Responsibilities

  • Administer and maintain SharePoint Online sites and environments
  • Manage SharePoint sites, Lists, Libraries, permissions and access
  • Configure SharePoint settings and site functionality
  • Manage users, groups and permissions
  • Support document management and SharePoint structures
  • Investigate and resolve SharePoint issues
  • Troubleshoot access, permissions and configuration problems
  • Support SharePoint migrations, restructures and improvements
  • Assist with Microsoft 365 administration where required
  • Work with other Microsoft 365 applications where they integrate with SharePoint
  • Document changes, processes and solutions
  • Support wider SharePoint projects and implementations
  • Test and review changes before they are put into use

Requirements

The successful candidate will have:

  • Demonstrable hands-on experience administering SharePoint Online
  • Experience working within Microsoft 365
  • Good knowledge of SharePoint Lists and Libraries
  • Experience managing SharePoint permissions and user access
  • Strong troubleshooting skills
  • Good understanding of SharePoint site structure and configuration
  • Experience supporting users and resolving technical issues
  • Good written and verbal English
  • Strong organisational skills and attention to detail

This is not an entry-level role. We are looking for someone who has worked with SharePoint administration in a professional environment and can get up to speed quickly.

Working Style

You should be comfortable working independently and taking ownership of your work.

We will provide the requirements and expected outcome, but you will be expected to work out the appropriate way to deliver the task rather than requiring detailed instructions for every step.

The right person will be:

  • Reliable and organised
  • Practical and technically minded
  • Comfortable investigating problems
  • Able to prioritise their workload
  • Good at communicating progress and raising issues
  • Comfortable working independently
  • Willing to suggest improvements where appropriate
