Only Immediate Joiners. For immediate response, Kindly share resume to [email protected] with Sub of "M365/SharePoint" along with notice period. Governance & content lifecycle

- Own the SharePoint Online and OneDrive governance model end to end : creation control, ownership, attestation, inactive-site lifecycle, archiving and storage optimisation.
- Configure, run and continuously tune SharePoint Advanced Management policies (site ownership, attestation, inactive-site, Data Access Governance, restricted access/content discovery).
- Lead remediation of ownerless and inactive sites; design the Microsoft 365 content strategy to control storage cost.
- Eliminate the subsite governance blind spot by driving flat-architecture modernisation (subsite → standalone site + hub).
- Define and maintain the governance operating model, RACI, standards, KPIs and leadership reporting. Compliance, Purview & records (content management)
- Design and operate Microsoft Purview capabilities for content: retention policies and labels, data lifecycle management, records management and disposition across SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams.
- Implement data loss prevention (DLP), sensitivity labels and information protection for content governance.
- Partner with Legal and Compliance on eDiscovery, legal/litigation holds and audit; govern hold intake and attestation cadences.
- Ensure content is Copilot-ready, reduce oversharing, restrict sensitive content, and keep the Microsoft Graph clean and trustworthy. Platform administration & operations




- Act as senior SharePoint / Microsoft 365 administrator: SharePoint Online, OneDrive, Teams and Microsoft 365 Groups, plus Entra ID group governance (creation, naming, expiration, ownerless-group policy).
- Govern permissions, external/guest access and provisioning standards (templates, hubs, naming).
- Handle change, request and incident management for the content estate; safeguard tenant health and security posture. Development & automation
- Build possible governance automation with Power Platform: Power Automate, Power Apps and Dataverse (e.g., attestation/recertification workflows, governed intake, lifecycle actions, dashboards).
- Script and integrate with PnP PowerShell and the Microsoft Graph API for bulk remediation, reporting and lifecycle automation; build lightweight SPFx or low-code solutions where needed.

Innovation & advisory

- Scout, evaluate and pilot new capabilities - Microsoft 365 roadmap features, SAM, Microsoft 365 Copilot, and third-party tools (e.g., AvePoint, Sharegate) and build the business cases.
- Translate technical reality into leadership-ready proposals, decks and recommendations; advise on build-vs-buy.
- Mentor and upskill admins and site owners; champion governance as an enabler,



not a blocker (influence, not authority).
