• Implement and manage backup, recovery, and security controls for SharePoint content, including permissions, SSL certificate usage, and available compliance features.
• Plan, install, configure, and optimize web servers and applications as part of the overall web-services landscape, collaborating with infrastructure teams as needed.
• Monitor performance, usage, and capacity for SharePoint and related web services, diagnosing issues and implementing tuning or remediation actions.
• Create and maintain detailed operational documentation, connectivity diagrams, procedures, and inventories for SharePoint and web services to support repeatable operations and audits.
• Identify opportunities for process improvements and automation in SharePoint and web-services administration, and work with team members to implement efficiencies.

• Demonstrated ability to analyze, troubleshoot, and resolve complex system, web-services, or SharePoint issues, including performance and integration problems.
• Experience planning and coordinating deployment of new technologies and upgrades, with strong documentation skills and the ability to translate technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders.
• Strong customer-service orientation, communication skills, and teamwork, with the ability to mentor junior team members on complex issues.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a Public Trust investigation and to work in a U.S.-only federal IT context, with U.S. citizenship as specified.

Preferred Qualifications

• Microsoft 365 or SharePoint-specific certifications, and/or CompTIA A+ or ITIL certification.
• Experience leading SharePoint migrations or major version upgrades and integrating SharePoint with cloud infrastructure and digital workspace solutions.
