A bit about us:
We are a large, technology-driven organization supporting a diverse group of businesses and teams through a highly integrated Microsoft 365 environment. Our technology organization partners closely with cybersecurity, risk, compliance, enterprise applications, and business stakeholders to create secure and scalable collaboration solutions.
As our Microsoft 365 environment continues to evolve, we are investing further in the governance, security, and long-term management of our messaging and collaboration platforms. This role will have the opportunity to help establish standards, influence how governance is approached across the organization, and build solutions that support both security and business productivity.
Why join us?
Shape the environment: Play a key role in building and maturing governance standards rather than simply maintaining established processes.
Combine architecture with engineering: Stay hands-on with Microsoft 365 while helping determine how governance should be designed and implemented.
Work across the organization: Partner with business units, security, compliance, and technology leaders on initiatives with enterprise-wide impact.
Solve complex M365 challenges: Work within a large-scale environment where governance, collaboration, security, and usability all need to work together.
Opportunity for ownership: Bring ideas forward, identify gaps, and help establish long-term standards for messaging and collaboration.
Evolving technology landscape: Work with modern Microsoft 365 capabilities, automation, Purview, and emerging collaboration and AI technologies.

You should understand the underlying messaging and collaboration infrastructure well enough to determine how governance policies should be designed, implemented, automated, and enforced.

Develop governance standards around external sharing, guest access, permissions, and data exposure
Partner with cybersecurity, risk, and compliance teams to translate organizational requirements into scalable technical controls
Conduct periodic access reviews and governance assessments to identify policy drift and areas of risk
Help establish formal governance processes in areas where standards may still be evolving
Automation & Reporting
Develop automation using PowerShell, Microsoft Graph API, and Power Automate
Automate governance processes including orphaned resource cleanup, ownership certification, lifecycle management, and policy enforcement
Build dashboards and reporting using Power BI, Purview, and native Microsoft 365 reporting tools
Monitor compliance posture, governance adherence, license utilization, and platform usage
Evaluate new Microsoft 365 governance, security, and compliance features before broader implementation
Messaging & Collaboration Engineering
Administer and engineer Exchange Online environments
Support mail flow rules, connectors, shared mailboxes, distribution lists, and anti-spam and anti-phishing controls
Support Microsoft Teams architecture including meeting policies, channel structure, application management, and related platform configuration
Troubleshoot complex platform and messaging issues
Monitor service health and assist with capacity and licensing planning
Partner with Microsoft support and internal technical teams as needed
Business & Stakeholder Partnership
Partner directly with business units to understand collaboration requirements and develop scalable governance solutions
Translate technical and governance requirements into clear guidance for technical and non-technical stakeholders
Balance security and compliance requirements with usability and business productivity
Help drive adoption of governance standards across different teams and business groups
Develop governance documentation, technical standards, runbooks, and training materials
Serve as an escalation point for governance-related issues including oversharing, policy violations, and permissions concerns
What We're Looking For
7+ years of experience within Microsoft 365 messaging, collaboration, governance, administration, or engineering
Strong hands-on experience with Exchange Online and/or Microsoft Teams
Experience designing, developing, or significantly improving Microsoft 365 governance standards
Strong experience with Microsoft Purview, including retention, DLP, and sensitivity labels
Experience with lifecycle management, ownership models, access controls, naming standards, and sharing governance
Strong PowerShell experience within Microsoft 365
Familiarity with Microsoft Graph API for automation and reporting
Strong understanding of Exchange Online mail flow and Microsoft Teams architecture
