• Supporting light automation or integration through tools like Power Automate and Power Apps
• Offering input into a potential managed service model – including how SLA-based support could be structured

What we’re looking for:

• Strong hands-on experience with Microsoft Teams and SharePoint (configuration, rollout, governance)
• Solid understanding of the wider M365 ecosystem – Power Platform exposure is a plus
• Experience engaging with stakeholders to gather requirements and shape solutions
• Ability to blend technical know-how with a user-focused mindset

Why this role?

• You’ll be part of an important digital enablement programme, helping a public sector body modernise its collaboration and information-sharing tools
• The role offers a good balance of remote work with occasional in-person collaboration
• Potential to transition to a longer-term or permanent position depending on future direction
