Key Responsibilities

1) SharePoint Online Architecture & Strategy (Primary)

• Establish governance automation (provisioning, standards, naming, site templates) with PnP/PowerShell/Graph.
• Design solutions integrating Teams, OneDrive, Power Platform, and LoB systems using Graph/REST.

2) Migration Leadership – Carve‑In / Carve‑Out

• Lead end‑to‑end tenant‑to‑tenant / domain carve‑in & carve‑out programs, including discovery, mapping, cutover strategy, and post‑migration remediation.
• Drive content modernization, permission re‑modelling, and risk/controls alignment for re‑classified content.
• Hands‑on with ShareGate (preferred) or equivalent migration tooling; author runbooks, trackers, and success criteria.

3) Secure File‑Sharing (SecureHub / SecureShare or Equivalent)

• Architect secure document exchange patterns for C1–C3 classified content with internal and external stakeholders.
• Define governance, retention, and classification alignment between SharePoint and the secure sharing platform.
• Administer from the platform’s admin portal: Manager, User, and Delegate accounts; onboarding/offboarding; access reviews; recertifications.
• Collaborate with the vendor (e.g., OODrive) for roadmap, feature enablement, and incident resolution—while keeping solutions scriptable and API‑driven to avoid vendor lock‑in.
• Build automation for account hygiene, recertifications, and reporting (usage, expiry, external links).

4) Security, Compliance & Zero‑Trust Alignment

• Implement end‑to‑end permission models, RBAC, DLP, retention, eDiscovery, and auditability across SPO and secure sharing.

• Develop reusable modules/runbooks for migrations, site provisioning, and secure‑sharing operations.

6) SharePoint On‑Prem (Secondary / Working Knowledge)

• Understand farm architecture (2016/2019), service apps, and patching—sufficient for coexistence, discovery, and migration planning to SPO.
• Support limited on‑prem design/production activities during transition windows; escalate deep infra issues to the on‑prem SME as needed.

7) Leadership & Governance

• Act as technical authority; run design reviews and approve solution patterns.
• Mentor L2/L3 engineers in SPO, secure sharing, automation, and troubleshooting.
