IT Microsoft Technical Specialist

About the role

We are seeking a hands‑on IT Microsoft Technical Specialist to own the administration and execution of technology infrastructure and IT‑related projects. This is a doing role rather than a coordinating one: you will configure systems, migrate platforms, provision users, and manage a backlog of active IT projects from start to finish.

Key responsibilities

• Administer and maintain Microsoft 365 tenants across portfolio companies, handling user and group management, license assignments, SharePoint permissions, and cross‑tenant configuration.
• Manage identity and access using Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), including SSO setup, conditional access policies, dynamic group rules, and employee segmentation.
• Lead migration to a new MDM solution, overseeing device enrollment, policy configuration, and cut‑over.
• Build and maintain automated onboarding and off‑boarding workflows across tools such as Microsoft 365, Slack, 1Password, Asana, and others.
• Administer a broad tool stack (20+ applications), consolidating admin accounts, evaluating technologies, tracking licenses, and coordinating with vendors.
• Execute and track an active IT project backlog, providing regular status updates to leadership.
• Manage domain transitions, email alias switchovers, and login updates across platforms.
• Conduct tool audits and maintain an accurate license and contract inventory.

Required profile

• Hands‑on experience administering Microsoft 365 at the tenant level (user management, groups, licensing, SharePoint, Exchange Online).
• Working knowledge of Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) including SSO, conditional access, and identity lifecycle management.
• Experience with MDM platforms (Intune, JumpCloud, or similar) and device‑management workflows.
• Proven ability to own IT projects end‑to‑end, not just support or coordinate them.
• Experience automating employee onboarding/off‑boarding across multiple tools.
• Strong organizational skills to manage a backlog of 10+ concurrent workstreams.
• Clear written and verbal communication in English for non‑technical stakeholders.
