Sharepoint Administrator

In response to increasing demand for robust and secure collaboration platforms, the Sharepoint Administrator will be instrumental in maintaining and enhancing SharePoint environments that underpin critical business applications and services. This role exists to ensure the stability, reliability, and operational efficiency of enterprise SharePoint 2016/2019 systems, while driving improvements to governance, security, and automation within a complex technological landscape. Operating within a hybrid working model, the successful candidate will support a dynamic infrastructure environment that enables seamless digital interactions for diverse teams across multiple sectors.

The core responsibility of the Sharepoint Administrator is to oversee all aspects of SharePoint platform administration, including deployment, configuration, patching, and lifecycle management. Daily tasks will involve ensuring that the Windows-based server infrastructure supporting these environments runs optimally, actively identifying and resolving technical incidents to minimise downtime and maintain user productivity. The role demands close collaboration with technical teams and business users to provide expert support and guidance, translating complex technical requirements into operational solutions that align with organisational policies and Microsoft best practices.

Management of permissions, content organisation, and platform governance will be key in maintaining a secure and resilient environment. The Sharepoint Administrator will also be expected to develop and maintain automation scripts using PowerShell, streamlining administrative workflows and improving overall operational efficiency. Ensuring compliance with security controls and governance policies forms a significant part of this role, requiring a thorough understanding of identity management, authentication methods, and access control models. Monitoring platform health and performing regular risk assessments will contribute to safeguarding the SharePoint infrastructure against emerging threats and technical vulnerabilities.

A successful candidate will typically hold a bachelor’s degree or equivalent qualification in Information Technology, Computer Science, or a related discipline, augmented by a minimum of three years’ hands-on experience managing SharePoint environments within medium to large-scale organisations. Expertise in administering Windows Server platforms and SQL Server components that support SharePoint solutions is crucial to fulfilling the demands of this role. Proven ability in scripting with PowerShell to automate administrative tasks and support ongoing operational requirements will be highly valued. Strong diagnostic skills are needed to investigate complex technical issues and implement effective remediation promptly.

Effective communication in English is essential, with the ability to liaise with both technical colleagues and business stakeholders clearly and professionally. Knowledge of French could provide an additional advantage, reflecting the international scope of many projects within this environment. The Sharepoint Administrator position is based on a hybrid model, requiring presence on-site approximately two to three days per week, which balances collaborative work with remote productivity.

The position is offered on a contract basis, supporting sustained infrastructure delivery and platform optimisation within a steadily evolving technology setting. Benefits include access to continuous learning resources, hospitalisation coverage, meal allowances, and mobility support such as a commuting budget, all designed to support the well-being and professional development of the individual in this role.

This role forms part of a larger strategy to enable efficient digital solutions that impact millions of users by fostering technological excellence in infrastructure management and operational stability. The Sharepoint Administrator will directly contribute to the delivery of reliable, compliant, and user-friendly digital environments that serve a broad spectrum of clients in the information services sector.

Situated within the wider industry of information services, this appointment invites candidates committed to infrastructure excellence and operational rigour to join an organisation dedicated to responsible digitalisation and meaningful impact across the European technology landscape.
