Senior SharePoint & Power Platform Technical Lead

About Standish Management

Standish Management is a global fund administration firm serving private equity, venture capital, real estate, and fund-of-funds managers across multiple worldwide offices. We are in an active technology transformation — building a governed SharePoint architecture, delivering Power Platform automation firmwide, integrating AI-enabled workflows, and migrating our infrastructure to Azure. The engineer who joins us will own a meaningful portion of that transformation from day one, working alongside the CIO and VP of Global IT Operations.

Position Summary

Standish Management is seeking a Senior SharePoint & Power Platform Technical Lead. This is not a ticket-driven role. We are hiring for ownership, initiative, and accountability — not for someone who waits to be told what to do.

Our Ideal Candidate

• Owns the outcome: Accountable from initial conversation through production, not just assigned tasks.
• Asks until they understand: Stays curious and seeks to fully understand the business problem before building a solution.
• Proposes, then builds: Turns ambiguity into clear options, recommends an approach, gains alignment, and delivers.
• Moves without being pushed: Identifies next steps and takes action without waiting for direction.
• Communicates proactively: Raises blockers early and keeps stakeholders informed on progress, next steps, and decisions needed.
• Willing to learn the business: Develops knowledge of fund structures, compliance workflows, and operations to create better solutions.
• Challenges respectfully: Offers alternative approaches backed by sound technical reasoning when appropriate.
• Shows work, not just status: Demonstrates progress through tangible outputs such as prototypes, designs, configurations, and delivered solutions.

Key Responsibilities

SharePoint Online

• Own the firm's SharePoint Online strategy, architecture, and implementation end-to-end

• Design and develop enterprise Canvas Apps, Model-Driven Apps, and Power Pages portals
• Build integrations between Power Platform, SharePoint, Azure, Workday, and other systems

Ownership & Project Leadership

What Independently Driving Work Forward Looks Like Here:

• Take full ownership of initiatives from discovery through production — not just the assigned slices
• Proactively identify stakeholders and obtain what's needed to move work forward without being directed
• Lead discovery sessions — turn incomplete requirements into documented assumptions, options, and recommendations
• Identify blockers early and actively resolve them — never use a dependency as a reason to stop productive work
• Maintain actionable backlogs, milestones, and work plans and communicate progress consistently
• Demonstrate progress through working artifacts — prototypes, scripts, configs, designs — not status updates
• Operate effectively with limited day-to-day supervision while collaborating across a global team
