M365 Collaboration engineer

Job Description
 

As an M365 Collaboration engineer, you will be the driving force behind our Microsoft 365 platform strategy — championing adoption, governing the platform at scale, and building solutions that empower end-users across the organization. You bridge the gap between technical capability and business value, ensuring M365 is used effectively, securely, and consistently across teams.

Core Responsibilities

Platform Ownership & Governance

• Own the M365 platform strategy, roadmap, and lifecycle — defining standards,
  policies, and guardrails for platform usage across the organization;

• Establish and enforce governance frameworks covering SharePoint/MS Teams
  Policies, external sharing policies, information architecture, and retention
  policies;

• Monitor platform health, usage analytics, and compliance posture using the
  M365 Admin Center, Microsoft Purview and Power Platform COE;

• Collaborate with IT Security and Compliance teams to align platform governance
  with organizational risk and regulatory requirements.

Platform Adoption & Enablement

• Drive M365 adoption initiatives across SharePoint Online, Teams, OneDrive,
  Power Platform, and Viva — turning features into business value;

• Develop and execute adoption campaigns, training programs, and champion
  networks to accelerate user engagement;

• Act as the internal subject matter expert for M365, advising business units on
  best-fit solutions and modern workplace patterns;

• Measure adoption success through usage metrics, feedback loops, and
  continuous improvement cycles aligned with Microsoft's adoption framework.

SharePoint Development (PnP / PowerShell-first)

• Build and maintain site templates, provisioning scripts, and automated
  governance workflows using PnP provisioning engine and PowerShell;

• Leverage Microsoft Graph API to extend M365 capabilities and integrate across services;

• Automate administrative and operational tasks using PowerShell scripts and
  Power Automate flows, reducing manual overhead and improving consistency;

• Produce clear governance documentation, platform guides, and architecture
  decision records accessible to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Migration Strategy & Execution

• Lead and coordinate migrations from SharePoint On-Premises, file shares, and
  legacy systems to M365, using migration tools and define migration playbooks, remediation, scheduling, and user communication;

• Ensure data integrity, security classification, and compliance requirements are
  upheld throughout migration projects.

Stakeholder Collaboration & Technical Advisory

• Partner with business stakeholders to translate operational needs into platform solutions, prioritizing low-code/no-code approaches via Power Apps and Power Automate before pursuing custom development;

• Provide guidance on Teams governance, OneDrive policies, and Microsoft 365
  Groups lifecycle management;

• Produce clear governance documentation, platform guides, and architecture
  decision records accessible to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Requirements

• Experience designing and executing M365 adoption programs, including stakeholder engagement and change management;

• Deep hands-on experience with SharePoint Online architecture, site design, and information architecture at enterprise scale;

• Proficient in PnP PowerShell and the PnP Framework for SharePoint automation, provisioning, and governance;

• Familiarity with Microsoft Graph API for cross-service automation and reporting;

• Solid understanding of Microsoft 365 tenant administration and governance tooling (Admin Center, Purview, Entra ID);

• Working knowledge of Power Apps and Power Automate for process automation;

• Ability to translate business requirements into scalable platform configurations and governance policies;

• Hands-on experience with migration tools: Sharegate, SPMT, or Metalogix is a plus;

• Microsoft certifications are a strong plus;

• Strong communicator who can engage both technical teams and business leadership with equal confidence;

• Solutions-oriented mindset with the ability to balance platform governance with user experience;

• Proactive in identifying adoption gaps and proposing pragmatic, scalable improvements;

• Excellent English communication skills; German is a plus.
