This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in establishing a secure, consistent and user-focused approach to collaboration across the organisation. You will lead the implementation of a Microsoft Teams governance framework, alongside best practice and training for Microsoft SharePoint, OneDrive and Microsoft Planner.

• Experience implementing governance, controls or compliance frameworks.
• Extensive knowledge of Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive and Planner, including ownership, permissions, guest access, lifecycle management and archiving.
• Knowledge of Microsoft 365 capabilities and administration.
• Experience developing governance processes, operating procedures and approval workflows.
