Microsoft 365 Architect
for section headings. Use - for lists. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information, no invention. Remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, accommodation contact, etc. Also remove duplicated lines? Not many duplicates.
We need to decide sections: About the role (intro paragraph). Responsibilities (list of essential functions). Requirements (maybe education and experience). Qualifications (maybe knowledge, skills, abilities). Skills (maybe combine with qualifications? But we have separate sections: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. The posting has "Qualifications" heading with Bachelor's degree etc. Then "Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:" which could be Skills. Also "Licenses/Certifications" could be part of Qualifications or separate? Could be its own section but we don't have a heading for Certifications; we could include under Qualifications or maybe a separate section but not required. Since we have only predefined headings, we could put certifications under Qualifications as part of that section.
Thus sections:
- About the role: intro paragraph: "Reporting to Assistant Director of Infrastructure and Cloud Services, this role owns and operates the Creighton Microsoft 365 environment as a secure, reliable, and well governed enterprise platform. This role is accountable for platform health, identity security, and service maturity, while working in close coordination with infrastructure, security, and end user engineering teams."
- Responsibilities: list of essential functions: Platform Ownership, Operational Management, Engineering and Integration, Support, Governance. Each with subpoints.
We need to preserve details. Let's extract each essential function bullet.
From text:
Essential Functions
Platform Ownership
This role defines and maintains a forward looking platform roadmap that aligns the tenant with Microsoft best practices, emerging capabilities, and long term institutional success.
Consolidating all information into a high-level roadmap that prioritizes essential requirements over nice-to-have requests, while documenting both.
Proactively evaluating Microsoft’s roadmap and ensuring the environment is positioned to adopt new capabilities in a controlled and value driven manner, rather than reacting to change after the fact.
Continuously assess and align tenant configuration with Microsoft recommended architecture, security baselines, and service evolution
Monitor emerging Microsoft capabilities, including AI driven services such as Microsoft Copilot, and define governance, access controls, and appropriate use within the tenant
Operational Management
Accountable for the day to day operational integrity, stability, and performance of the Microsoft 365 platform. This includes establishing a disciplined operating model that ensures the environment is consistently maintained, monitored, and improved in alignment with Microsoft service changes and institutional needs.
Define and execute a structured operational cadence covering daily, weekly, and monthly platform activities such as service health review, identity monitoring, license management, and configuration validation
Continuously monitor Microsoft 365 service health, message center updates, and roadmap changes, translating them into actionable operational tasks and configuration updates
Oversee change management for the platform, ensuring updates and configuration changes are tested, documented, and implemented in a controlled manner
Engineering and Integration
Lead the planning, deployment, and configuration of M365, ensuring secure and seamless integration with on-premises Active Directory and third-party systems.
Document all integrations through detailed network diagrams and system documentation specific to Creighton’s network.
Collaborate with security, networking, and application teams to enforce identity governance, role-based access controls (RBAC), and lifecycle management across EntraID.
Support
Provide Tier 3 technical support and troubleshooting for Microsoft 365 services including but not limited to; Teams, Defender related O365 products and issues –these escalations from the service deskshould be reviewed and resolved within a reasonable time period.
Governance
Serve as a key leader in shaping the strategic direction, security posture, and governance of the Microsoft 365 platform. This role actively contributes to and helps drive Microsoft 365 steering committee discussions, providing informed guidance on priorities, risk, and platform evolution.
The position is expected to influence decision making by bringing forward insights on emerging Microsoft capabilities, security considerations, and operational impacts, ensuring that governance decisions are forward looking, well informed, and aligned with long term institutional success.
Responsible for staying current of all things Microsoft 365 that have direct impact to Creighton financial and user base, including changes & updates, roadmap & releases, and third-party solutions, to ensure the University is aware of significant impacts to our products and their expenses. This is to be done through self study and formal education, to be initiated by the employee.
Now Requirements: maybe "Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, related discipline, or equivalent experience. Minimum of eight years of experience in deploying and configuring Microsoft 365 in business setting."
Qualifications: maybe "Experience With Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:" Actually the heading "Experience With Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:" seems weird. It likely introduces the list of knowledge, skills, abilities. So we can treat that as Skills section.
Thus Skills: list items:
- Deep understanding of Microsoft 365 architecture, including Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, OneDrive, Teams, and Microsoft Entra ID
- Advanced knowledge of identity and access management, including authentication methods, conditional access, identity protection, and privileged access strategies
- Working knowledge of Azure services that underpin Microsoft 365, including identity integration, networking considerations, and cloud architecture fundamentals
- Familiarity with Microsoft roadmap, release cycles, and service evolution, with the ability to translate changes into actionable platform updates
- Knowledge of AI capabilities within Microsoft 365, including Microsoft Copilot, and the associated governance, data exposure risks, and control frameworks
Licenses/Certifications: Could be included under Qualifications or a separate section but we don't have a heading for Certifications. Could add under Qualifications as a bullet list.
Thus Qualifications section could contain:
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, related discipline, or equivalent experience.
- Minimum of eight years of experience in deploying and configuring Microsoft 365 in business setting.
- Required certifications:
* Microsoft 365 Certified: Enterprise Administrator Expert
* Microsoft Certified: Identity and Access Administrator Associate
* Microsoft Certified: Security Operations Analyst Associate
We need to keep the exact phrasing.
Now we need to output HTML fragment only. Use
for each section heading. Use
for prose. Use
- for lists.
We must not include empty sections. So we will have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. No Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
Let's craft.
About the role: a
with the two sentences.
Responsibilities:
Responsibilities
then maybe a with each essential function as - containing subpoints maybe as nested
or . The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can treat each essential function as a list item, and within each we can have
or nested
. Probably okay to have inside
- . We'll do that.
Requirements:
Requirements
then - for each requirement.
Qualifications:
Qualifications
then - for each qualification (degree, experience, certifications). Could separate certifications as nested list.
Skills:
Skills
then - for each skill.
Make sure to preserve all details exactly as in text, but we can rephrase slightly? Must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. We can keep the sentences as is, maybe break into list items.
Let's extract exact sentences.
Platform Ownership bullet points:
- "This role defines and maintains a forward looking platform roadmap that aligns the tenant with Microsoft best practices, emerging capabilities, and long term institutional success."

Now Requirements:
- "Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, related discipline, or equivalent experience."
- "Minimum of eight years of experience in deploying and configuring Microsoft 365 in business setting."
Qualifications (including certifications):
- "Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, related discipline, or equivalent experience." (already in Requirements maybe duplicate; but we can keep both? Might be duplicate. Better to not duplicate. The posting had Qualifications heading with Bachelor's degree etc. Then later "Experience With Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:" then list. Then Licenses/Certifications. So we should separate: Requirements maybe just the degree and experience? Actually the posting: "Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, related discipline,
