You will guide clients through modernization, governance, and content strategies that enable secure and accurate Copilot adoption.

Responsibilities:

• Conduct Copilot readiness assessments across identity, compliance, content architecture, and search indexing

• Advise clients on Entra ID configuration, conditional access paths, permission models, and identity governance required for Copilot interoperability

• Map current-state content landscapes and design future-state SharePoint Online architectures with structured metadata, taxonomy, site hierarchy, and permission inheritance

• Lead migration planning and execution from file shares and legacy repositories into SharePoint Online and OneDrive using automated tooling

• Configure and optimize Microsoft Search, including schema extensions, managed properties, verticals, result sources, and indexing patterns

• Implement DLP, sensitivity labels, retention, and compliance controls that align with Copilot’s retrieval and access trimming

• Build governance frameworks, provisioning models, and operational standards tailored to each client’s environment

• Create automation using PowerShell, PnP, and Graph API for reporting, provisioning, and repeatable deployment patterns

• Provide client workshops, documentation, and enablement sessions across technical and business teams

Required Experience:

• Consulting background with direct client engagement in M365 modernization, SharePoint Online, or cloud transformation projects

• Deep hands-on experience designing and administering SharePoint Online at the site, library, metadata, and search schema levels

• Strong knowledge of Entra ID authentication flows, conditional access logic, consent and permission models, and identity governance

• Experience with Graph API concepts, service principals, delegated permissions, and API limitations

• Working knowledge of Microsoft 365 compliance controls including DLP, sensitivity labeling, and retention policies

• Proficiency with PowerShell, PnP PowerShell, and automation patterns used in enterprise M365 environments

Preferred Experience:

• Prior delivery of Copilot for Microsoft 365 readiness or deployment projects

• Experience with migration tooling at scale

• Familiarity with Microsoft Search customization, connectors, and schema design

• Ability to present architecture, findings, and recommendations to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
