• Troubleshoot integration issues when data doesn't flow as expected between systems
• Recommend improvements to integration design as new business needs arise
• Create and maintain clear process documentation for existing automations, flows, apps, and SharePoint structures
• Document new builds as they are developed, including purpose, logic, dependencies, and known limitations
• Establish and maintain a shared documentation repository so processes are sustainable and transferable beyond any one individual

Required:

• 1+ years of hands-on experience administering SharePoint Online, including site, library, and list creation and management
